Developed early on in the second Invid occupation of Earth, the Space
Hives were meant to serve as a strong, planet-wide defense against liberation attempts
by REF fleets. The Invid could also co-ordinate ground operations from these sites, with
little fear of retribution in return. The Space Hives are a mix of the methodologies of
the Regess and Regent. Using the basic hive structure, it has been further reinforced with
additional materials and very strong shields. Rather than relying upon the plasma drives
for attack capabilities, the Space Hives have six large weapon spikes protruding from the
main structure, each of which mounts a powerful anti-ship cannon. The Space hive also
holds a fair number of combat mecha, including many of the newer designs, to deal with
the threat of allied fighters.
