'''Bio-ships''' are the living spacecraft making up the [[Tyranid]] [[Hive Fleet]]s.{{Fn|1}} The term encompasses all voidcraft bioforms of the Tyranids.{{citethis}}
Bio-ships are corruptible by the [[Obliterator Virus]], infesting their neural pathway and severing them from the [[Hive Mind]]. A corrupted bio-ship is then further modified by specially created machinery produced in the [[Eye of Terror]] that mixes organic components with ancient, physics-defying technology. These modifications allow for control of the bio-ship, so that it can be pressed into [[Chaos]] service as an enslaved [[Titan]] transporter.{{Fn|5}}
