History
Arrival in the Solar System
When Crota, Son of Oryx and his spawn arrived at the Solar System and took over Moon, The Hidden Swarm served as the beachhead force for Crota's staged invasion of Earth and also tasked with protecting their newly erected lunar strongholds, the most infamous, the Hellmouth. As they silently build their strength over the centuries, a Titan named Rezyl Azzir happen to intrude upon the Hellmouth and met with the Hive Wizard Xyor, the Blessed and her consort Knight. Though Rezyl survived his encounter, it would ultimately Xyor's plan to curse the Titan with her dark whispers into becoming the infamous Dredgen Yor.
During the early City Age, the Hidden Swarm launched their Seeder Ships throughout Earth and engaged the Light-bearing Guardians at the Rusted Lands in the Eastern Flooded Zone; only one surviving Hunter warned the City of the Hive threat. Against overwhelming odds, the Guardians barely succeeded in repealing their offense at the Battle of Burning Lake; not realizing the true threat the Hive posed, they launched a counterattack on the moon, which was later called the Great Disaster.

Trivia
- It's unknown what Hive deity spawned the Hidden Swarm, as none of the known gods have been referenced to giving birth to this brood.
- Its most likely that they serve the Hive god Crota, as their commanders all follow Sardon, Fist of Crota.
- Because of this, the Hidden Swarm is the only Hive brood besides the Cult of the Worm that has no main god leading or breeding the brood.
