Olduvai had strong links with the Hive Federation from the 900s, and bought some of its technology from regular Hiver trade vessels. This allowed Olduvai to construct a number of trade and military vessels capable of Jump-2.

The Olduvai culture is known for its overblown ostentation and pretentious outlook.
