Fiction:The Hive Empire

The Hive is a vast empire consisting of one species: The Hiveians. Many who first encounter them believe that the things blowing their faces off are many similar creatures but they are false... and dead. The hiveians merely cybernetically enhance the living spode out of themselves even going as far as replacing half their body with a jet booster.

One of the most interesting features of The Hive is their telepathy. All hiveians of a fleet communicate telepathically and can be given all commands from one central general. Some hiveians (The Shaymans) have such strong abilities they can temporarily sway other creatures to do their bidding.
