Overview

Objectives: To reassert “true humanity’s rightful place as masters of their own destiny and that of the Earth” by establishing an imperialistic interstellar human empire with Earth as its capital, and eventually launch a campaign of mass slaughter/enslavement against other alien civilizations in retaliation for years of alien invasions
Established: 1993
Threat Level: Global, potentially Galactic
Organization Type: Rogue nation, monarchist military dictatorship/Human-survivalist-supremacist terrorist organization
Headquarters: Starthrone, located at Lagrange Point 3; on Earth, however, their primary base is located on an island in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean, which they have established as being a part of their sovereign nation.
History: Ever since the re-emergence of magic and the rise of the superheroes and supervillains during and after the Second World War, mass property damage and civilian casualties have been a huge problem. With frequent alien invasions that have happened over the years, what with multiple attacks by the Qularr and Gadroon, and the Sirenians, the cult of Nama the serpent-god which eventually became known as VIPER, the Blood Moons of Takofanes, Mechanon’s war against organic life, and of course, influence from the Qliphothic Realm, and of course, Doctor Destroyer, it truly felt to a large portion of humanity as if it no longer had a say in its own destiny.

The Hive Principality was founded in secret by a cabal of nobility from some of the world's last monarchies, wealthy "old money" families, military generals politicians, and many other humans from many other walks of life and all over the world who shared an antipathy towards metahumans and their effect on the world, as a direct response to the Battle of Detroit. Feeling that humanity should not allow metahumans and aliens to dictate its destiny any more, they started a mass effort to fall off the radar, begin a "secret mass exodus," and take a massive amount of resources, equipment with them to a previously-uninhabited island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, where they would found their own monarchy. Hive believe that, since they are the only ones ready and willing to oppose the aliens and metahumans at every conceivable turn, that Hive should be allowed to be the main governing body of Earth, and they believe that the UN has effectively "sold out" the human race in its treatment towards metahumans. It could be said that they see UNTIL as similar to the Vichy Regime, with Earth being France in this metaphor. Of course, in true monarchist fashion, Hive has its own nobility. And the citizenry are fed anti-alien, anti-metahuman propaganda 24/7.

It would be from this new 'Mecca' that they would begin their exodus into space, to construct their own space colony, Starthrone, located at Lagrange Point 3, to serve as a "last bastion for true humanity," as they feel that the UN has sold humanity out by cooperating with the metahumans that have caused so much destruction and aliens that have invaded Earth so many times. It would be then that the first king of the Hive Principality would be crowned, and from out in space, they would build their resources by mining the asteroid belt as they bide their time. After Starthrone's construction was completed, their goal would be to reassert “true humanity’s rightful place as masters of their own destiny and that of the Earth” by establishing an imperialistic interstellar human empire with Earth as its capital, and eventually launch a campaign of mass slaughter/enslavement against other alien civilizations in retaliation for years of alien invasions. Not even metahumans, Atlanteans, artificial life forms, or magic users are safe, either.

Then, in 2014, the Hive launched a secret invasion of the Earth, and UNTIL engaged them in a secret war. UNTIL imagined them early on to be emissaries of the Qularr, but once their true nature was made apparent, they fought them like other human beings.

The UNTIL-Hive Shadow War waged in space and all over the globe, covertly.

Until it was finally over in 2017, with the signing of a peace treaty after the Hive's then-king died in battle. With his death, the Shadow War was over, with the public none the wiser about anything happening at all. He was survived by the Queen, who then gave birth to Cybele, next in line for the throne of the Hive Principality. She was made queen at the tender age of five; currently she is 11, but Queen Cybele I is an extremely sheltered puppet ruler, subject to the wishes of her advisors, having almost no political power of her own to speak of.

So it is only a matter of time until some Hive makes its move to take over the world again, all in the name of a humanity that rules the cosmos with an iron fist.
