- "It was an incomprehensibly loathsome miasma that raped ones soul through the lungs."

The Farmed Hive was put in place by Xenomorph Farmers and accidentally encountered by Paul Church and his crew aboard the Incunabulum.
Information[]
A Xenomorph feeding church
This hive was established on a off-limits planet by Xenomorph farmers. However, it lacked a queen, leading to the aliens being sickly and weak. They were strong enough to abduct humans, however, and tried to propagate their nest anyway. Roughly a month and a half after capturing Church and his crew, the hive and everything in it, dies, save Church himself, who manages to escape.
The Breeding Pens
Likely on account of lacking a queen, these aliens behaved different than other ones. They began fighting over and accidentally killed a potential host, despite having brought her back presumably for impregnation. They killed a Synthetic, when usually ignore non-organic beings. They are shown feeding their hosts the pre-chewed remains of other deceased host, something Xenomorphs have never been shown doing elsewhere as host are typically used in short order for impregnation.
"Chestbursters"
This hive also had a breeding chamber, where some unseen process is done to female victims, which causes them to deliver Chestbursters the same way a human would naturally deliver a baby.
Church drinking the strange liquid
There was a strange pool full of tadpole-like creatures and reeking green liquid, which the xenomorphs forced its quarry to drink. It is unclear what this liquid does to anyone who ingests it, however submerging a person in it could cause death. However, such a death may be due to something as simple as drowning, and not the unique qualities of the liquid itself.
Trivia[]
- It's unclear if the abnormal Xenomorph behavior was caused by the lack of a queen or the poor state of the aliens.
- This is the first time in which Xenomorphs have been seen breeding their hosts, instead of breeding inside of their hosts.
- Two substances grew in this hive, those being a Medicinal Secretion made by the aliens and a Black Mold that killed them (and their medicine).
