New Hive mind Faction

I was thinking that most (if not, all of them) major factions are humanoid. Considering that, for obvious reasons, they don't need to be similar in any way I suggest creating a new major faction call simply "The Hive". Let me expand the idea:

Faction name: The Hive

Form: Bugs of some kind with no resemblance to a human at all. Something as the Necropaghes units but less humanoid.

Traits: - No use of Industry, make construction food related.

- Use of dust as normal, instead of using it as coin, they would use it as it's evolution related.

-Alive buildings, that why they use food instead of industry.

-Instead of colony ships a Queen. It will go and colonize the new world.

-No approval (set to content). As they have a Hive mind they don't fight each other.

-"Democracy" as unique government system, but called "Consensus". Each Queen would have an alignment (militaristic, religious, etc) and a vote. The policies would work as usual but there are no laws, they are inclinations of the hive (or something like that).

-Use of influence as normal.

-No diversity allowed. This includes minor factions. Expansion only through colonization (or the taking of a world, but it would restart the pop).

-Higher growing pop rate.

-Tech tree as usual. All ships (other that colonizer) are a mid point between machine and bug/insect/etc with technology.

That's the idea, a little diversity to spice things a little.
