The Hive Collective's space ecompasses much of the clouds of gas and dust known to Terrans as the "Large Magellanic Cloud" and the "Small Magellanic Cloud". By no means covering the entirety of the clouds, nonetheless the Hive Collective has a hold on millions of worlds connected by the Webway, with the total number of Hives not known to anybody but the High Broodmothers. Xarai Space is known to be full of interstellar gas, dust, and debris, and can be rather dangerous to travel through without knowing one's course. Xarai Space is connected to the Milky Way by the "Magellanic Stream", a corridor of fast-moving gas and dust clouds connecting the two. This is a vital stream for Xarai trade, and connects their relatively isolated homeland to the Milky Way Galaxy at large. This stream is one of the jugulars of Interstellar Trade, and is protected by the Xarai, as well as their allies, such as the Directorate, for the maintainance of commerce and the rare resources and minerals found in Xarai Space.
