 ==Project Omega==
 Project Omega aims to investigate the nature of rogue drone hives, structures and social organization. The project places a secondary focus on understanding rogue drone intelligence and behavior within the context of the hive. The project's primary means of study include covert observation and analysis of rogue drones in their natural setting as well as cross-comparison of rogue drone A.I. with that of other drones. Ideally, Project Omega hopes to develop a deeper understanding of both rogue drones and sleeper drones.

 The  level of rogue drone individuality is unknown, and opinions of researchers vary on the matter. It is possible that each drone could share a portion of its computing power with the collective hive while maintaining another portion for individual use.

 Here will be collected information of the Rogue Drone Behaviour. The base will be the same as used in animal studies.

 Human psychology and drone psychology are far away from each other. Their hive-based society alone is guaranteed to differ them from humans. Furthermore, their altruism and very strict obedience to their hives only deepen this gap. Unfortunately there isn't much to make of from their communications, for we have gathered only small phrases or words for them, making building a psychological profile very difficult. Therefore our knowledge is largely based on their physical functions, which are easier to come by. The drones seem to have a weakened self-preservation instinct, which makes sense for they are largely dependant on each other, and selfish drones would mess up the system. Also humans, especially capsuleers, have a (slightly) weakened self-preservation instinct since the coming of clones and immortality.
 We have to remember that the drones are based on a programming rougher than our "equivalent", so they might be slower and in haste, more inconsiderate to adapt to new situations.

-Hives are to be investigated using Covert Ops ships or their equivalent to observe and record drone movements and behaviour. This data will then be analyzed by project researchers.

 ==Project Omega==
-The goal of Project Omega is to investigate the nature of rogue drone hives. When possible, observations should be made by covert means so as not to disturb the hives from their normal routines. A focus should be placed on observing task specialization, social structure and means of interaction between both individual drones and hives as whole.

-As we know it, there are four kinds of 'hive' minds:
+A typology of hive organization has been proposed in which there are four kinds of "hive minds":
-*group minds (one consciousness occupying multiple bodies)
+*group mind (one consciousness occupying multiple bodies)
 *swarm intelligence (self-organized, decentralized system)
 *collective consciousnesses (decentralized)

+*beehive (centered around a queen; mother drone/hive structure)
-There is uncertainty on which kind of hive mind types the drones use. There may be even different hives that use different types of hive minds. From these four, the most likely candidate is the beehive system. For example, beehives have swarm drones (apis) and so do beehives have honey bees (aslo, apis). This could mean that the Rogue are trying to imitate the structure of the be society, even so much that they name themselves according to bee hierarchy. The purpose of Drone Hives is still unknown. It might be the nexus of their network, or then it might be simply a place to house, build and repair drones. Most likely both, since no recorded computer has ever taken as much space as a drone hive, 60 kilometers. The Rogue Drone individuality is also unknown. They might simply be extensions of the hive mind itself, or then they could all have a different pesonality - intriguing thought. A probable option is that every drone gives a shard of it's computing power to the hive itself, creating a massive organism that reacts to the needs of the drones. This could mean that every single drone has its own past, own personality and own thoughts. The research continues.
+It is uncertain which type of organization the rogue drones use, if any. Complicating the issue, organization may vary from hive to hive. Current research tends to favor the beehive model.
