	With a lack of workable metals on their home world, their technology came to be based on psychic abilities and biochemistry, and this knowledge allowed them to adapt themselves and gradually alter native animals as well. The Alien Hives believed that these changes allowed them to exist in more perfect harmony with their world. Perhaps the strangest of these were the ones which came to be adapted for space travel. Alien Hives travel through the stars using massive creatures which they’ve bred for this purpose. These vessels travel from world to world, always requiring a great amount of atmosphere and nutrition for them to store before traveling between the stars. These ships are homes to crews who maintain them, some of whom never step off the ships on which they were born.

	After traveling through a swathe of the Frontier, the Alien Hives reached the Sirius Sector. Their arrival set off a series of conflicts with the factions in Sirius, as communication proved difficult and the Alien Hives were assumed to be hostile due to their alien appearance and nature. They soon were locked into a war of extermination with the various species of Sirius, which only concluded when the [[DAO Union\|DAOU]] managed to communicate with one of their Hive Lords. While it took time to come to true understanding, this opened a path to peace between the species of Sirius and the Hives.

Some in the lower castes have begun demanding new rights, undermining the harmonious working of the castes while certain Hive Lords have rejected peace entirely, fearing that the corrupting influence of outsiders might ultimately destroy their way of life completely.

	The '''Alien Hives''' are a faction from the ~~Grimdark Future universe~~.		The '''Alien Hives''' are a faction of aliens using biotechnology, and is made up of a variety of sub-species which come from the remote frontiers of the galaxy, striving to find their niche in Sirius.

			When they first arrived, they were viewed as monstrous invaders, but after a long war of extermination, breakthroughs in communication lead to a fragile peace. Now, the Hives must come to terms with the legacy of the long war and decide how they are to adapt.

	==Background Story==		==Background Story==
	~~Throughout~~ the ~~galaxy vast armies~~ of ~~non-sentient alien species seek to devour everything in~~ their ~~path.~~ Alien Hives ~~usually consist~~ of ~~multiple types~~ of ~~evolutionarily advanced species~~ working together in ~~symbiosis. Common forms of Alien Hives include insectoid and reptilian species~~.		Over the course of their evolution, the Alien Hives specialised into a number of different roles and environments. Despite this divergence, these sub-species gradually united into a strict caste system led by the apex predator of their world; the Hive Lord. Each caste became specialised in different roles, working together in harmony as their civilization grew.

	~~It is unclear where~~ the ~~majority~~ of these Alien Hives ~~originate~~ from and ~~what their numbers~~ are~~. Some even speculate that they might actually be bio-engineered races created by another advanced civilization sent~~ to ~~soften up~~ the ~~Sirius sector before the main battle force arrives~~.		With a lack of workable metals on their home world, their technology came to be based on psychic abilities and biochemistry, and this knowledge allowed them to adapt themselves and gradually alter native animals as well. The Alien Hives believed that these changes allowed them to exist in more perfect harmony with their world. Perhaps the strangest of these were the ones which came to be adapted for space travel. Alien Hives travel through the stars using massive creatures which they’ve bred for this purpose. These vessels travel from world to world, always requiring a great amount of atmosphere and nutrition for them to store before traveling between the stars. These ships are homes to crews who maintain them, some of whom never step off the ships on which they were born.

	Their ~~armies have~~ a ~~high variety~~ of ~~unit types~~ and ~~as such can attack in many different ways~~. ~~Some~~ of the ~~most common strategies are large swarms~~ of ~~basic grunts or~~ a ~~focus on large creatures~~ and ~~monsters~~.		After traveling through a swathe of the Frontier, the Alien Hives reached the Sirius Sector. Their arrival set off a series of conflicts with the factions in Sirius, as communication proved difficult and the Alien Hives were assumed to be hostile due to their alien appearance and nature. They soon were locked into a war of extermination with the various species of Sirius, which only concluded when the [[TAO Coalition\|DAOU]] managed to communicate with one of their Hive Lords. While it took time to come to true understanding, this opened a path to peace between the species of Sirius and the Hives.

	~~These fleets pose~~ a ~~serious threat~~ to ~~all species of~~ the ~~galaxy~~, ~~but~~ if ~~they bleed~~, ~~we can kill them!~~		Peace provided its own challenges for the Alien Hives, as they soon found themselves confronted with a number of alien ideas and values that challenged the structure of their society.
