So I've been a lifelong Alien fan and Romulus got me out here redesigning one of my hives. Formerly known as the Zalox hive, this is a two part family, with heavy interference from the lab that studies them. (Delta Zwei)

Queen Gaia and her younger sister Mya, as well as their one surviving drone, Ni'kita. Mya was temporarily separated from her sister to prevent the queen from killing her. The scientists knew enough time would cause the young Gaia to grow to the point she no longer saw her sister as a threat. At least, that was the goal. She was re-accepted, as the hive had gone into collapse leaving the sole drone, Ni'kita, and the queen alone. (This was done intentionally, as all eggs were being destroyed behind the scenes.) Their desperation was the goal.

Once in this state, the scientists integrated five other experimental drones. Each had been taken from previous hives, and propagated in either a host, or artificially spliced with various species. Xi' is the eldest female of this set, artificially spliced with a Malayan Tiger. Siam is the eldest male, and was hosted by a Maine Coon Cat. Klaus is the middle male, artificially spliced with a Snowy Owl. Kronos is the youngest male, artificially spliced with a Yautja. Cinder is the youngest female, and in the hive over all, hosted by an Australian Shepard Dog.

After a successful integration, the Delta Hive is doing exceptionally well. The eggs produced by Queen Gaia are sold to various defense contractors, highly prized due to their strength and relatively low-rate of going feral due to further chemical intervention in the egg phase.
