A new weapon and a new skin for the most misterious Raider!
H.I.V.E. "Destiny’s Bride" Skin.
There is a book that lies among the ruins of Uddas Nassar, resting on top of a devotional altar, in a chamber buried over half a kilometre deep. This book has remained unread for over one thousand generations, and the last being able to read the tongue it is written in perished aeons ago. If the current inhabitants of the Broken Planet, natives and invaders alike, could read this book’s opening verses, they would shiver in fear and foreboding.

“The Destiny’s Bride lies over the consecrated stone. The Nir'g-thäs holding the sacred jar extract the Old Queen and place her in the Bride’s mouth. The rest of the blessed children crawl over the vessel’s body and make their own way in through her bleeding pores.
The Bride screams in simultaneous pain and pleasure. Her skin has turned the unhealthy shade of alabaster. The Bride is reborn, and her offspring obey her will. The supplicant Nir'g-thäs now serve as her first nourishment. The New Queen walks again.
H.I.V.E. “Shy” Weapon.
“My little shy ones”. That’s how H.I.V.E. lovingly describes a very particular strain of her children, that rarely see the light of day. Instead of behaving as individuals, they act as a single focussed mind that is able to react to external threats generating an acute electric field. Proud of her offspring’s adaptative abilities, H.I.V.E. decided to attach a small strain of her shy ones in one weapon.
