Sector 9-Gallows has ruptured, draining a toxic lake to reveal a lost ancient vault. A lethal, radioactive Dust-Blight is filling the air. Outlaws, Squats, Enforcers, and more are diving into the sludge to strip the central Iron Sarcophagus before Upper-Hive waste pumps refill it forever.
Sector 9-Gallows (“The Sump-Pipe Vaults”)
Deep below the standard industrial zones of Hive Primus sits Sector 9-Gallows, a forgotten network of colossal, ancient drainage junctions and rust-choked vaults.
For centuries, this sector served a single purpose: filtering the toxic run-off from the noble spires far above. It is dark, damp, and smells of old iron and chemical sulfur.
Recently, a massive seismic tremor—a "Hive-Quake"—fractured the foundational strata. The disaster shattered the ancient central cistern, draining a massive toxic lake known as the Sump-Eye.
As the sludgy waters receded, they revealed a perfectly preserved, long-lost subterranean processing vault from the early days of Hive construction.
The sector is now a gold rush. The Guilders call it The Dust-Blight Dividend.
The Clock is Ticking (The Blight)
The receding sludge left behind a hyper-concentrated, radioactive airborne powder known as The Dust-Blight. It ruins machinery, clogs respirators, and causes a slow, hacking cough.
The sector is only breathable for a few months before the Upper-Hive maintenance cycles pump millions of gallons of fresh toxic waste down to refill the vault, burying it forever. Your gangs are fighting for scraps on a strict deadline.
The Great Outlaw Influx
Because Sector 9-Gallows was officially scrubbed from Enforcer maps decades ago, it has become a haven for those fleeing Lord Helmawr’s law.
Criminal syndicates, mutant outcasts, and rogue tech-heretics are crawling out of the pipe-networks to claim a piece of the Dividend.
The established House Gangs (Goliath, Orlock, Escher) are fighting not just each other, but a desperate, lawless undercurrent that has nothing left to lose.
The Central Prize: The Iron Sarcophagus
At the center of the campaign map lies the Cistern Engine Prime, a massive, pre-collapse atmospheric processor.
It is rumored to contain pristine, uncorrupted cooling cores, archeotech filters, and structural blueprints that the Merchant Guild will pay millions of credits to acquire.
Every territory your players fight over is just a stepping stone closer to breaching the Iron Sarcophagus.
Gang Flavor Hooks
For Traditional House Gangs (Orlock, Goliath, Escher): Your masters in the mid-hive have demanded you secure the sector's perimeter. Lock down the old processing lines, extract the mineral wealth, and ensure the Outlaw filth doesn't disrupt the flow of tithes upward.
For Outlaws & Criminal Syndicates: The Enforcers won't come down here because of the toxic fumes. This sector is your new empire. If you can seize the Cistern Engine, you can filter your own clean air and water, building a permanent black-market fortress free from Helmawr's reach.
For Enforcers : The upper-hive high command is officially turning a blind eye to the sector, meaning you have no backup, no official jurisdiction, and no rules. You have been deployed as a black-ops containment squad. And since Sector-9 Gallows doesnt exit on precinct maps, neither does its denizens. Your goal is to confiscate the archeotech from The Iron Sarcophagus before the criminal syndicates can smuggle it out, and to execute any Outlaws or rogue tech-heretics that threaten Lord Helmawr's tithe.
Ironhead Squat Prospectors: Your Charter Master logged the seismic data of the hive-quake and immediately recognized the ancient structural signatures of lost hold-tech. The House gangs think they are exploring a garbage dump, but you know this is a sacred, unexploited mining vault. You are here to cut through the rust, hold The Rust-Sieve Grates, and reclaim the Cistern Engine Prime for the Guild of Coin. Anyone standing between your power-picks and your ancestral masonry is getting turned into industrial scrap.
For Outcasts & Scavengers: You were born in the pipes, and the upper-hive scum are invading your home. The Dust-Blight Dividend is yours by right of survival. Strip the copper, weaponize the toxic runoff, and starve the invaders out.
