'''Wardrones''' are designed solely to fight and protect the [[Norn-Queen]] and the Hiveship. They are dependent entirely on the influence of the [[Hive Mind]] in order to operate. Wardrones vary heavily in size and shape, and usually fight in swarms, using weight of numbers to perform their tasks.
====Drones====
'''Drones''' are defence ships which dart around the Hiveship, reacting immediately and frenziedly to anything that threatens it.
