Hive ship

A hive ship was a vessel built by the Killiks during the Dark Nest Crisis to ferry their nests outside of the Utegetu Nebula. Each ship was approximately eight thousand meters long, drawfing most ships in the Galactic Alliance's arsenal. A total of fifteen of the ships were built, and their first use saw them engaging the Alliance blockade in the Murgo Choke. Along with thousands of their custom-made fighters, the Killiks managed to get several hive ships past the blockade, and even captured the Victory-class Star Destroyer Admiral Ackbar, the personal ship of Nek Bwua'tu. This act, along with the escape of several of the ships, began the Swarm War.
