Hive Queen and Leviathans

Oct 21, 2015 Syren link
Since Itani has more sectors that Serco, does that mean that Itani has slightly a few more areas where hive queens are than Serco? Also, Leviathans have not been spotted by my group of 'Hive Queen and Leviathan Searchers'.

Second question:
How long does it take for a hive queen to appear?

Third Question:
When a hive queen is destroyed, does it generate another one?

Fourth question:
Do hive queens generate their own robots, or do the robots jump to them?

*Sorry for having you guys to answer so many of my question... I'm curious about these...*

Not the right forum but I'll answer.

There are two types of Hive. Dynamic and Static.

Static Hive will always respawn, and are not really affected by larger actions like Hive Skimishes.
Static Queens appear in a random (empty) sector per system. Only one per system for Static Hive.
Static Hive Queens can also appear in Dynamic Hive Systems. If you kill a Static Hive Queen, another will instantly respawn in another random empty sector. Follow collectors to find Static Queens.

Dynamic Hive is the Hive which is tied to the "Hive Skirmish" missions.
This only occurs in Serco Space (Rhamus (central), Initros, Dantia),
Itani Space (Metana (central), Cantus, Setalli Shinas) and
Grey Space (Sedina (central), Latos, Odia).

Dynamic Hive is Headed by the Leviathan in the "Central Hive Skirmish" mission, taken in the Central system of Dynamic Hive as noted above.
The Dynamic Hive can be destroyed for over 24 hours. Eliminating the Leviathan can wipe out that type of Dynamic Hive for a while.
Hive Queens are found in both the Central (4 queens in sector) and Critical Hive Skirmish (1 queen per sector) missions.
If you defeat a Hive Queen in the Dynamic Critical Hive Skirmish, it can take up to an hour for a replacement Queen to spawn.
Hive Queens in the Leviathan Sector are much faster to respawn, approximately once every 20-25 mins, but there are four of them.

So.

1) Yes technically.
2) Dynamic Central (20-25mins), Dynamic Critical (about an hour), Static (Instantly in-system)
3) Yes, with times ranging as shown above.
4) They are the creator of smaller robots, so, yes. The Leviathan Creates the Queens, the Queens create everything else.
