Dark Hive

Dark Hive is a secret race hidden in the veil. They completely lost their production capacity for unknown reasons a long time ago, and the Hive collapsed. But the Queen and some other hivers survived. The Queen, who lost most of her production capacity and control over hive, gave them freedom and disappeared.

The Queen who had lost everything would have been forced to do so to survive in this barren world.
-Tech Hunter, Gildon


It's a Dark Hive that's freed from the Queen's control as the hive falls. They are a small number of Hive, but they live all over the world. I cared a lot so that they could fit into Kenshi's world naturally.

They are newly added races, but they are treated almost the same as the existing Hive. They will experience the same exclusion and discrimination Hive faces in the Holy Nation and the United Cities. To realize this, added all the Hive related triggers I remember. That they are almost perfectly treated as another Hive. They are pretty lore-friendly.

Import is recommended for applying mod.
