Well, since the Hive is as close as our moon, presumably we've been living in (eh... under) our own little bubble for quite a while and only recently began our push outward.

My money is on either they've got some kind of portal buried at the core of the Moon that was opened and allowed them to escape (maybe during the Golden Age, we cracked it open and thus started the Great Stamping), or at the very least they put it there as the nearest FOB to their target of The Traveller.

If you liked the Chopper, I hear the sparrow drives quite similar to that.

I am excite.

So if I run in to things with a sparrow they blow-up?

I guess that explains why there seems to be no more glass after the end of the Golden Age.
