The Hive (Resident Evil)

After making several breakthroughs, Umbrella gave birth to the Hive. The Hive is a secret underground facilty deep under the streets of Racoon City where Umbrella scientists live over many months working on important chemical research. The Hive is supposedly the location where the T-Virus was first created. Dr. Chalres Ashford is the head programmer of the Hive and was placed with all Hive related responsibilities, becasue of this he produced the 'Red Queen' a highly intelligent computer system which governs the entire Hive. Unfortunatley due to circumstances an inciddent occured and the Hive became inactive. Umbrella dispatched troops to investigate the situation however they never returned. Many speculate that the incident down in the Hive was the cause of the epidemic in Racoon City.

There is not much information on the Hive because of its secrecy. The games dont make much reference to Hive however the lab under the Spencer Mansion in the first Resident Evil videogame is thought to be the actual Hive. There is little detail to suggest so but most people believe this to be true.
