If you've read the (awesome) Dark Nest trilogy by Troy Denning, you should take a look at this news story on the BBC website.

Apparently, a species of bugs known as the Argentinian Ant has conquered the planet, establishing a worldwide colony of interrelated nests... all, somehow, without us being aware of it. The whole thing seems disturbingly reminiscent of the way the Killik Colony operated in the Dark Nest crisis....

Have the Killiks returned? Is the Argentnegra Nest an invasion? Have our Jedi Watchmen become Joiners? Where are our Imperial Garrison, the stormtroopers of the 501st? What do DelRey and Lucas Books know about these events? THE WORLD DEMANDS ANSWERS!!

We'll bring you more news on this story as we get it!

UPDATE: We've managed to contact Dark Nest novellist Troy Denning for a comment on this breaking news. Speaking exclusively to TF.N, he says: "It's a terrible shame that my warnings have gone unheeded for so long. Now ants have created the greatest empire in history, and we'll soon be rubbing forearms instead of shaking hands."
