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 the hive, granted the remaining Hivers their freedom and disappeared.

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

The Dark Hive is a race freed from the Queen's control after the hive fell. They are a small number of Hivers, but they live all over the world. I took great care so that they could fit into Kenshi's world naturally.

They are a newly added race, but they are treated almost the same as existing Hives. They will experience the same exclusion and discrimination the Hive faces in the Holy Nation and the United Cities. To realize this, I added as many Hive-related triggers as possible. This ensures that they are almost perfectly treated as just another Hive race. They are pretty lore-friendly.

Import is recommended for applying the mod.
