It explains the hive fleets as countless living creatures bound into a single psychic organism by the gestalt hive mind.

INTRODUCTION\n\n\"They are coming!I fecl them scratching inside my mind.scratching,screaming.roaring.so many -so,so many voices.They're coming for us-flesh and blood,body and sou!!\"  \n# OVERVIEWOF THE TYRANIDS\n\nThe Tyranids are without doubt the most alien raceencountered by humanity.They have been likened toa galactic locust swarm,remorselessly hungry andtoo numerous to stop.They are a nomadic,space-dwelling race which has migrated from beyond ourgalaxy in search of new resources to assimilate.These they have discovered in abundance in theImperium of Man and the assorted alien races now intheir path.Tyranids only descend onto planets tototally strip them of bio-mass before moving on,leaving nothing but a ball of scoured rock in theirwake.  \nThe Tyranid hive fleets consist of millions of livingcraft,each home to billions of creatures,untoldthousands of monstrosities evolved from the bubblinggeno-organs of the ship's reproductive chambers.AIIof these creatures are born to serve the single entitythat is the ship,and the ship itself exists only as partof the entity that is the fleet.AIl Tyranid creatures areheld in a common psychic bond that enables them toact together as one organism.Individual Tyranidshave no distinct minds like humans and other.  \ncreatures -a Tyranid simply fulfils the functionsassigned to it by the greater hive mind.The smallermindless creatures are unthinking and instinctive,butlarger more complex creatures can make decisionsappropriate to the situation.
