Gruel Gang

A stronghold from which the Spyrers can operate, a Spyrer Base Camp is heavily fortified and highly mobile, moving with the Spyre Hunting Party gang so they always have a safe place to recover from battle and hone their skills. This one is the base of the Scions of Power.

Many of the ancient domes that honeycomb the underhive eventually collapse under the weight of time, leaving treasures trapped beneath the wreckage and the structure above liable to fall apart at the smallest misstep.

Everyone must eat, and the corpse farms take the flesh of the dead and make it into the corpse-starch that feeds the hive. Underhive corpse farms do a brisk, if shunned trade in the bodies of the dead.

Settlements dot the underhive. Most are scrap-shanties, peopled by the brave, the foolish and the desperate. Some are even willing to risk the danger of the wastes to build a life for themselves. This one is the base of operations for Hot and Sticky.

Reeking of liquor, sweat and blood, a drinking den is where many hivers go to numb their sorrows, or to find their courage at the bottom of a bottle of Wildsnake or Second Best.

Violence is life, death, and entertainment in the underhive, and some of the most feared fighters are made on the cinder floors of fighting pits under the eyes of baying crowds.

Much of the light and power in the underhive relies on taps into energy conduits or barely functioning generators. Those that control the source of such power can let it flow… or cut it off at a whim.

Narco dens are filled with the scent of exotic smoke, and the bubble and hiss of fume-bottles and chem-injectors. Rich and poor alike come to such places to chase dreams and forget nightmares.

The Needle Ways are the vents, crawl tunnels and pipes that thread through the mass of the hive. Those that can navigate them can pass unseen between almost anywhere

Fortress, gaol and place of execution, a Palanite precinct-fortress is the authority
of Lord Helmawr, stamped boldly into the very structure of the underhive in
rockcrete and plasteel for all to see. This one is the base of operations for the Strugat Squad.

Stacks of fuel drums and tanks fill this half-forgotten stash, enough to keep a factory running, or burn half of the Sump down if a stray spark catches it.

Vast agglomerations of refuse gather in areas of the underhive in drifts that shift like dunes in a desert.

Glowing with heat and spattered with molten metal, a slag furnace smelts slag and ore so that the metals they contain can be poured off.

Effluent and polluted water drains down through the hive to catch in brown pools, forming lakes of fuming, iridescent sludge.

Stinger mould is a rare fungus that grows where rad-waste has saturated a fungus sprawl. The fungus can be deadly, but also offers near-miraculous healing properties.

Constructed from tangles of reclaimed pipes, vats and cylinders, a synth still in skilled hands can produce the finest poisons, medicines and narcotics.

An underhive tech bazaar buzzes with the calls of bullet merchants echoing above haggling tech- prospectors, while agents of the Gun-guild watch and take their due.

The fastest ways through the underhive often cross chasms, sludge rivers or pass through bottlenecks. Gangs often set up tolls at such points, extracting credits from those who wish to pass swiftly and safely on their way.

The tunnels that run through the hive are the primary ways that people move between locations. Those that control them can move freely and attack where they wish.

Workshops in both the underhive and out in the wastes tend to be a combination of different scrap yards, festooned with belts of ammo and strewn with the carcasses of machines. The denizens of such places are often strange recluses, who mutter to their machines and create disturbing totems out of their rusting treasure.
