Hivers are a
Major Race in the Traveller Universe.The Hivers are race based on six-fold symmetry. Of all the major races they both appear and think the most “alien” to most humans. Despite their name Hivers actually have a highly individualistic society; they are called Hivers because their dominant architecture was said to resemble
beehive s by the first humans who encountered them. They avoid where possible direct violence and war, preferring instead to work behind the scenes via all forms of covert manipulation.K‘kree contact with the Hive Federation was followedby the Hiver-K’kree war of -2029 to -2013. K'kree militarytechnology proved superior in the first stages ofthe war. The war ended when the Hive Federation demonstrated a plan to radically alter the K’kree social order through the use ofpsychohistorical techniques and threatened to implement it.The K‘kree withdrew to the pre-war borders, and the borderbetween the two states has remained stable to this day.External links
