Zagara's brood found a star system nearly at the edge of the galaxy. There they located a gas giant with 12 moons each at varying degrees of being habitable, at least by Formic standards. Here they forged an Empire, & restructured their hierarchy. They evolved, New Drones were developed, larger bio-crafts were grown. & then the day came when Swarm Queen Zagara signaled the Hive Wardens to prepare their broods for war.
12 Massive living structures rose from their respective moons & set out into space, not a single Formic was left on those moons. The fleet stopped in the orbit of their home world, every Queen descended upon the planet reviewing the memories Zagara had shared with them of the planet decades past. To their surprise early stages of vegetation were making appearances all over the planet. It seems the humans weapon did not entirely destroy all of the planets minerals below the planets crust.
Zagara: "Our home is recovering, but it may never be what it once was, let us take the singular sentient's home as they did to us"
The Formic's set out once again to hunt down human colonies. The battles were grueling, the humans assumed that taking out a Queen would work, but genetic strides enabled Formic drones to keep living even after their Mother Queen dead. Drones would carry out their last command if able & then wait on stand by until another Queen or male Formic linked up to them with new commands.
The Humans were afraid & confused. Why were these new Formic's attacking, were did they come from. Several Colonies fell, Military Generals went to Planet Lusitania to speak with their Formic allies to find out why this was happening. But the ally Hive Queen had no answers, her first encounter with humans was with Andrew Wiggins long ago, but she vowed to help them against this threat.
The Crusading Formics had 2 more targets on their hit list. Lusitania & Earth. They had sustained many casualties, not as many as the humans, 3 entire hives had been lost at this point. Though their numbers were still massive, their fellow Queens would be surely missed.
The Formic Fleet arrived several clics away from Lusitania when they stopped. A large Fleet lay between them & the planet. Though it wasnt the humans that caused the pause. Formic ships were among the human vessals. Zagara could sense a vaguely familiar presence. A lone Formic ship from the mainly human fleet went out to meet the crusaders. Zagara allowed the ship to board her vessal. Zagara & the Hive Queen meet face to face, Zagara realized that this Queen was her niece that had been sent in hopes of creating an alliance with humans. Zagara had assumed the plan had failed.
The Queens shared each others memories. The Hive Queen saw Zagara's pain but shared the beautiful memories she had in interacting with humans since her birth. The Hive Queen finally saw the history of her race from memories passed down through the ages, also she finally saw her own mother, a face she had never known until now. Zagara saw traits of humans she did not know even existed, love & compassion.
