Queen Mothers are the supreme rulers of the entire Xenomorph species, with even the infamous Queens and lesser-known, but more powerful, Empresses as their subordinates.

Queen Mothers nest in lairs consisting of six orbs arranged around a central orb, in which they will reside. These orbs are interconnected, and contain the prized royal jelly, which molts a Drone into a new Queen Mother when the existing one dies.

They are protected by enlarged, elite Drones.

Physiology

Queen Mothers possess acute telepathic and empathic abilities, allowing them to call to their hive over vast distances. One was even capable of melding to the minds of humans during the infestation of Earth.

Like their subordinates, Queen Mothers are capable of laying eggs.

Background History

The first Queen Mother was kidnapped by Ellen Ripley, leading to anarchy and chaos on the Hiveworld.

While a Drone was molting to take the previous Mother's place, several deviant, red-tinted Drones were born and rebelled against the primary hive, leading to the creation of a rival hive, led by a red-hued Queen Mother. Massive warfare broke out between the two subspecies over the genetic abnormalities.

A fleet of Colonial Marines were sent to retrieve the Mother's royal jelly, in order to synthesize a highly-addictive drug known as Xeno-Zip. They chose to nuke the Red Mother's hive, to distract the Drones of the original nest while the jelly was being extracted.

The new Queen Mother of the original nest was shot, after it had killed a scientist during the extraction process.
