The Hiveform

The Hiveform are a collective of loosely aligned insectoid life that cover a vast territory of space. Hiveform infiltrate planets with aggressive lifeforms designed to do battle. After all 'incompatible' life is eradicated from the planet, the Hiveform proceed to colonize the planet. The so called 'soldiers' of the Hiveform aren't aggressive to other Hiveform species, so they have little trouble colonizing after their infiltrating agents have wiped out all competing lifeforms.
Some planets or asteroids have been alternately established as strategic outposts, rather than for colonization purposes.
The first wave of a Hiveform infiltration occurs with so-called 'Brood Hatchers', alternatively 'Infiltrators', who are capable of travel through space. These Infiltrators carry fertilized eggs intended to be hatched upon arrival as a first wave of invasion. It is the ultimate goal of a Hiveform Infiltrator to establish a so-called 'Queen Minor' or 'Beta Queen', which is capable of producing and self-fertilizing its own supply of new eggs.
