Hive Soldier Drone

“	Soldier drones created to protect their Hive and enforce control over the workers. Stronger and less intelligent than a worker, freedom-seekers are rarer and usually end up finding mercenary work.	”
–Game Description

Western Hive Soldier Drones are a Race in Kenshi. They are a subrace of the Western Hive.

Hive Soldier Drones don't make great outpost builders because of their many skill penalties. Their inability to wear helmets can make them a bad choice late game, as Soldier Drones have no way to protect themselves from the Duststorm or Gas Weather Effects aside from the meagre 20% protection from Swamp Ninja Rags.
