*Bo-Lingua, you are correct that the colors designated different hives. Each hive has its own "conciousness" centered around its queen, so in a sense each color/hive designates a separate "individual." Viewed that way, Clarityfiend is right too, although I think that perhaps the word "individual" isn't really the best word to use in the context of a hive-mind species. How about "four distinct hive-mind identities" or something along those lines instead? [[User:Fairsing|Fairsing]] 02:14, 17 July 2006 (UTC) |

In the book as written, the blue Hive Queen came from the planet the heroine did. At the end, the heroine is on another world in the region. It is reasonable to presume that conflicting reports on the world of origin come from measures of where they were met, versus where they were born. -- Starshine |
