Belief System & Philosophy (Mindset)

Hive society is highly individualistic. The term "Hive" results from an early human misconception which stems from the appearance of the Hivers' building and tunnel complexes. Nests contain from five to five hundred individuals, who are usually centered around some common endeavor.

1. Manipulation
   1. One of the most common endeavors and highest achievements for Hiver individuals or groups is the act of (social) Manipulation.
   2. See Manipulation for more information.
2. Curiosity
   1. One of the most central values to Hiver society is that of curiosity. Hivers love to experiment and explore. Whatever is out there, Hivers want to know about it, and, if it can be done, some Hiver out there is planning to eventually do it. Hivers are endlessly curious about every aspect of life, interstellar society, and the cosmos.
   2. Space colonization arose not from population pressure but from curiosity, with which Hivers are amply endowed.
