"Superhives" are heavily-modified hive ships originally developed by the Wraith to enable to them crush the Lanteans in their century-long war. Enhanced far beyond the normal limits of their technology, these titanic vessels employed stolen Zero Point Modules to grow near-impenetrable armor and boost weapons discharges to levels high enough to punch through Ancient and Asgard shields with ease. Thanks in large part to a number of brilliant holding maneuvers, however, all of the original superhives were destroyed ten-thousand years ago, resulting in the Wraith being forced to lay siege to Atlantis without them.

abstract
| - "Superhives" are heavily-modified hive ships originally developed by the Wraith to enable to them crush the Lanteans in their century-long war. Enhanced far beyond the normal limits of their technology, these titanic vessels employed stolen Zero Point Modules to grow near-impenetrable armor and boost weapons discharges to levels high enough to punch through Ancient and Asgard shields with ease. Thanks in large part to a number of brilliant holding maneuvers, however, all of the original superhives were destroyed ten-thousand years ago, resulting in the Wraith being forced to lay siege to Atlantis without them. In the modern day, the rogue Wraith commander Todd would revive the superhive line when he used stolen Asuran ZPMs to transform one of his own motherships into one of the legendary superweapons. He had hoped to use it to allow a quick and decisive end to the Wraith Civil War, with him as its victor, but one of his subordinates betrayed him, stealing the vessel and deciding to lead it against Earth. In the climactic series of battles that followed, the superhive and its escorts were ultimately destroyed, but the door has been left open for more to be created in the future, threatening the fragile balance of power in the Pegasus Galaxy.
