Locust Hive Sometimes very well hidden in the remotest corners of a galaxy, sometimes popping up right in front of your space dock, these colossal structures house billions of locust nymphs waiting to be unleashed upon the universe. It is speculated that taking down a locust hive can drive back a locust infestation, though it is not clear how. Also, this is easier said than done - hives have a tremendously huge biomass exceeding any other known lifeform by several orders of magnitude. Making even a dent into a locust hive can take weeks, but fortunately locust hives do not possess any defensive mechanisms. While not being sentient per se, astrobiologists classify locust hives as sentient life due to their features of self-organized swarm intelligence. Locations Locust Hives can spawn anywhere in the universe.
