Hornets

An unusual variant of the more common Bees faction, the Hornets appear to be a simplified fleet of Bee ships and structures that have been augmented with equipment from the elusive ships of Faction 14.

Current investigations suggest that this process was the result of a fleet of Bee ships discovering deactivated Faction 14 vessels, as there are multiple recorded instances of the Faction 14 Type 2 cruiser travelling within Hornet colonies, with Bee bodywork and engines replacing the original ship's equipment.

Much like the Bees, the Hornets are aggressive toward plants and intruding ships or fleets, but their use of the Faction 14 Burst Lasers makes them far more capable of defending their territory and waging aggressive warfare.

Features:
- Bee equipment (Quantum Doom Beams, laser drones, powerful thrusters)
- Faction 14-style hull blocks (light blue "augmented" hull)
- Faction 14 Burst Laser turrets
