The Hive

The Hive, originally known as the Krill, are a macabre, incredibly ancient species of arthropod-like aliens hailing from the world of Fundament and aligned with the Witness and the Black Fleet. Their entire culture is based around the Sword Logic: a supernatural, thanatological philosophy of competitive survivalism, which dictates that they must destroy other civilizations in order to accrue paracausal power and feed the Worms that live within their bodies. Along with the Witness, they are led by a pantheon of dark gods, who derive power and sustenance from the destruction wrought by the Hive.


The Hive are an "impossibly ancient" race born from a pact with the Worm Gods. Hive structures delve deep into wherever they lay claim to, unheeding of the damage done in the process, crafting linked caverns and gothic-like columns. These underground spaces resemble a dungeon recently pulled up after an extended period underwater. The Hive are able to manipulate the physical world in ways humanity can only begin to imagine, and have witnessed the Darkness consume countless worlds in the past.


The Hive are not an enemy military so much as a rising force. They base their entire existence around the extermination of other forms of life, especially those that follow the way of Light and the Traveler, and approach their task with religious fervor. To the Hive, killing and conquest are not merely acts of war, but of worship.


In Sol, they have a significant presence on the Moon, where they have built the Hellmouth and Scarlet Keep, as well as in certain regions of Earth, around Saturn, where the massive Dreadnaught orbits, the icy regions of Mars and on Titan, where they infest the ruined arcologies. They are also present in certain regions within the Reef, such as the Tangled Shore and the Dreaming City.
