The soft, two-legged fools are so hasty. Quick, but wasteful; leaping without a care for where they may land. No wisdom. No patience.
We have both in abundance.
The Grand Hive Queen ordered an analysis of the new super-heavy combat ships being used by the mammals. She did not like what was discovered about them. Oh, no. Her Armoured Majesty was most displeased. So the Planning Nest was given the task of equalling - and then surpassing - the best that the hot-blooded fools could create.
We have succeeded.
Our foes pride themselves on tiny tweaks and nudges in abundance to gain improved performance. The Grand Hive, alas, just this once, cannot afford as much patience as we would prefer. But we are satisfied with our answer to the new warships that have been beating back our front-line fleets. The pressure of having the federation below us and the Empire above us has become more than merely “uncomfortable”. It is time for us to gain breathing room! Beyond our competitors, the wide open spaces of the Stygian Abyss beckon warmly to us. Shall we not reach out a claw and seize what should be ours? Once our oppressors are beaten back, all of the region between the two closest anti-hyperspace zones CAN BE ours.
We have analysed all enemy dreadnoughts before building the first one of our own. Ours is a giant compared to any of theirs. It is a mobile hive of death; death for all who stand in our way. Ours can mount more weapons, as well as more standard modules, than ANY of theirs. Our armor will not crack. Our claws will not weaken. Out spikes will not dull.
The “Shark Queen” is now being deployed on all fronts, with more in reserve.
The Federation, the Empire, even the sneaky hidden Rebels…all will taste our venom before they fall. Victory for the Grand Hive!
