Background info:

Little is known about the history of the Hive (Hive is singular, plural, and race name). What is known is that they have genetically engineered themselves into what they considered to be the perfect society: Where the goals of the race matter, not those of the individual.

Physically, the Hive is not too dissimilar from Earth insects, but much larger. They are engineered for war, with large pincer-claws, mandibles, and acid spray. The soldiers can make short work of a civilized planet within days.

Even the ships of the Hive are living beings. These monstrous constructions are simply different breeds of Hive. They may have shields, projectile weapons, and a fearsome plasma spout, but they are still insects!

All Hive share a single mind, from which they derive their name. There are several castes: Soldiers are the shock troopers. Workers do heavy labor. Queens lay the eggs. Hunters gather food from other worlds (crops, livestock, and sometimes people). And the Ships are, well, ships.
