holvien

Holvien refers to a fictional alien species from the science fiction universe created by author Peter F. Hamilton. They are depicted as a highly advanced, insectoid race, originating from a planet within the galaxy. The holvien are characterized by their collective consciousness, meaning individual holvien are less distinct entities and more components of a larger, unified mind. This shared awareness allows them to achieve remarkable levels of coordination and problem-solving.

Physically, holvien are described as having multiple limbs and exoskeletons, typical of insectoid beings. Their society is structured around this collective mind, with a focus on efficiency and the advancement of their species. They are often portrayed as having a long-term perspective and a different understanding of individuality and emotion compared to many other sentient species in Hamilton's works. Their technological prowess is significant, and they have played a role in various galactic events and conflicts within the narratives they inhabit. Their motivations and actions are often driven by the needs and directives of their collective consciousness, making them a formidable and often inscrutable presence.
