War queen

War queen

An ultra-heavy mech with a built-in mech gestator. Fed with appropriate resources, the war queen can form small war urchin combat mechs within its massive carapace and deploy them into combat. Even more than other mechanoids, the war queen resembles a giant, living insect. All war mechs can be terrifying, but humans tend to find the war queen disturbing on a deeper level.

A war queen is a mechanoid added by the Biotech DLC.

Summary

War queens are mechanoids. They do not eat and are immune to toxic fallout and temperature extremes, despite having a Comfortable Temperature range. Like all mechanoids, they are vulnerable to EMP attacks. Warqueens have a 45% EMP resistance, meaning they are stunned for 45% less time.

As an enemy

You can summon a hostile War queen with a mechanitor and a mechband antenna, which requires the Basic Mechtech research. Summoning the war queen destroys the antenna. However, they are not exclusive to summoning, as strong enough mechanoid raids may feature one or even multiple.

When summoned, it will be accompanied by other mechanoids. The amount of other mechanoids depends on how many times you have summoned a War quee before, but is independent of wealth, time, or colony progress. They will crash down in a ship after a random amount of time ranging from a few in game hours to days. They will not attack immediately, but will instead act like a raid and "prepare" before launching their assault.

Defeating a hostile War queen rewards the player with a Powerfocus chip, regardless of source. One is required to research High Mechtech, and they can also be used to create various mechanitor gear.
