'''Bio-ships''' are the living spacecraft making up the [[Tyranid]] [[Hive Fleet]]s.{{Fn|1}}
==Overview==
Although bio-ships take on a seemingly endless variety of forms, they are broadly divided by the [[Imperium]] into several major classes depending on its general role in the Hive Fleet. The ships are also factories producing the different [[Species of Tyranid]] used in ground invasions. The ships themselves are essentially the largest species of Tyranid and are controlled by the [[Hive Mind]].
The [[Squat]]s of the [[Leagues of Votann]] have discovered that the organic material of certain parts of Bio-Ships can be rendered into rare and exotic chemical compounds. This has led to many [[Hernkyn]] cells into hunting the ships in order to harvest them.{{Fn|4}}
