The subjects of this, the seventh Alien Module for Classic Traveller, are the Hivers — a species of six-limbed, omnivorous gatherer/scavengers that grew from a single world culture to the dominant power of the star-spanning Hive Federation, which rivals the Third Imperium in power and technology. The Hivers' physical and psychological differences from Humaniti are examined in detail, and the effects of these differences on specific game rules are explained.

The progress of evolution on other worlds can create fantastic results. In the far trailing regions parsecs from the Imperium, on the world of Guaran, the beings who reached intelligence and ultimate domination of their world were six-limbed pseudo-starfish. On their homeworld, they created a culture based on cooperation, but which still accepted and respected the individual. When they reached space, they carried that culture with them, establishing a federation which now spans more than ten sectors.

Early explorers were struck by the hive-like appearance of these aliens' cities; naturally they were called Hivers. The fact that Hivers had no spoken language delayed recognition that there was no true hive relationship long enough for the name to stick.

To understand them, and their place in the  universe, this Alien Module is essential. It allows players to be Hiver characters, to play adventures in the Hive Federation, and learn more about the Hivers' culture.
