Hive Worker Drone

“	Expendible workers born to labour for the good of their Hive, they know only obedience and value service to the Hive above any personal benefits, saftey or comfort. If separated from the controlling influence of the Hive they usually die, but in rare cases become free individuals. Bewildered by their newfound freedom and loss of a predetermined purpose they wander lost and seek meaning, but usually just find death or exploitation.	”

Trivia

• Compared mentally to the Soldier Drones and the Princes, the Workers are smarter than the Soldiers, but not as intelligent as a Prince.
• Hive Worker Drones have the lowest vision range multiplier in Kenshi. (Tied with their South Hive variant, Crabs, Swamp Turtles and Iron Spiders) Because of this it is common for a Hive Worker Drone Guard to be unaware if an ally of theirs nearby is under attack.
