Hiveguard

The Hiveguard is one of the two major factions (the other being the Remakers) in the upcoming War, featured in Perhaps the Stars. Upon the revelations of the assassinations of O.S., many citizens of the Alliance believed that the killings were justified in order to protect the most peaceful era of human civilization ever known.

Aesop Quarriman created the symbol of Hiveguard - a bull's eye pinned on the breast - during a meeting of the Senate, and it quickly spread from there.

Ojiro Sniper, the thirteenth O.S., is the de facto leader of Hiveguard, and has vowed to assassinate J.E.D.D. Mason to prevent the collapse of the Hive system into an absolute dictatorship.
