Hive queens are Wraith females who hold a great deal of power within their society and are at the top of their hierarchy. They can produce Wraith warriors. When one queen wishes to annex the powers of another, she usually assassinates her personally. Most queens are quite arrogant and refuse to meet in diplomatic relations with Wraith hives that do not have another queen. They are assisted in their duties by Wraith Commanders.
