The Hive - SHIP
Briefing
Quite similar to a common Monolith until it comes close; its three blue-ish orifices in the forward section are unique to this kind of creature. As its smaller bursting cousins, it never developed energy beam appendages, instead generating plasma waves from three sides. As a close combat creature, it needs to be within a few thousand kilometers to be effective, especially with its weaker powerplant. It is uncertain if this variant is just as capable as the common, perhaps excellent in countering Genari close combat warships -- but no so effective against long range warships that Sol commonly uses. It also has a weakened carapace, probably because of these extra openings exposing the creatures' weakness. Regeneration Rate 9
