Autonomous Drones
This Hive allows its drones to have some sort of freedom and independence from the Collective. While still part of the Collective, it is possible to distinguish one from another and easy to identify personality traits on each individual drone.Unemployed Pops voluntarily resettle themselves to suitable planets with jobs and housing within our empire
Diplomatic Weight from Pops: +20%
Pop Growth from Immigration: +10%
Focused Collective
Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
