So what you would be looking for is a race of creatures that has organically or inorganically developed telepathy. In such cases, the creatures would either run from a central power, like a queen, or be a decentralized mass like The Borg. I suppose a combination of the two would be really killer though.
Organics would have to evolve on a planet with energy sources. It would form maybe on a planet with uranium that grows as crystals. Then the creatures could fabricate from this energy a type of energy that makes them construct things. Leading to, eventually an organic form of rocketry using fissile material.
Inorganics, well, you have all probably seen how The Borg came to be.
