Overview
H.I.V.E or the Higher Institute of Vengeance and Extermination is a gang of mercenaries, outlaws and bounty hunters based in Zaun and led by Husk. They work under Silco has his developmental Zaunite secret police, although, they tend to act on their own accord, independent of Silco's orders.
Compared to the Zaunite Gangs, H.I.V.E is much smaller. Their small numbers are made up by their use of highly weaponized technology, experience in combat and self-imposed drive to enact Vengeance on Piltover by any means necessary, even if it's working with Silco.
While they are working under Silco, H.I.V.E continues to have a strong hatred towards the Piltover enforcers. This animosity is likely the cause of a personal grudge rather than any noble ideal.

Locations
The H.I.V.E hideout is built out of an old abandoned airship factory on the second level of Zaun. It is pitch black other than the artificial glowing light of chemtech piping through the factory. Inside houses multiple generators, powering some of the most powerful of Silco's soldiers, the Chem-tanks.
- Training Grounds. New recruits are often trained within the facility in an old aircraft hanger. The base is made of molded brick with moss shrouding the sides infected with different combinations of unsavory chemicals.
- Laboratory. One of the many functions of the H.I.V.E hideout is their laboratory. After the creation of Shimmer, it was still yet to be perfect for recreational and controlled use. H.I.V.E have spent years refining the drug, making it suitable for both injection and consumption, possibly even for medical use.
Leadership
H.I.V.E takes on a hierarchal system with Husk as the Hive Commander or overseer. She has full command over every action the gang makes and for good reason. From a middle-level Zaunite turned Piltover enforcer, Husk was once seen as a traitor to her home. But once she was hit in the leg by a paralyzer by her fellow enforcer, she learned they would never see her of anything more than her past.
