The former paramilitary organization [[Intergalactic Naval Reserve Arm|INRA]] analyzed Thargoid specimens. The researchers made several discoveries which are published in the [[Codex]]:

Thargoid society is organized in vast hives. The larger groups are thought to be overlapping hives.

=== Queens ===

==== Queens ====

There are 3 categories in society: queens, princesses and drones. The Queens are reproducers. They have extremely long lifespans of hundreds to thousands of years. They are at least as intelligent as a [[human]]. The size of their neurocraniums might be an age indicator.

=== Drones ===

==== Drones ====

The drones have rudimentary intelligence and maintain a favorable environment for the hive. The Queens perceive drones as expendable, because they can be easily replaced. Thus the Queens don't care about losing drones. The drones ~~are sterile and~~ have various shapes and sizes. The drones are crucial, because they dedicate their lives to labour, security and combat to maintain the hive.
