Acropolis Hive
Acropolis Hive is dominated by House Cawdor, where the faithful gather, and Redemptionist gangs enforce their own form of justice.

Armageddon
Armageddon is a hive world synonymous with brutal warfare, a hive world constantly ravaged by conflict with Ork forces and other alien threats. The surface of the planet is scarred by battles fought in the past, and the sky is often darkened by ash from the numerous industrial facilities dotting the landscape.Avoid cliché fantasy tropes (no mysterious hooded figures or intricately-carved boxes).
Cadia
Cadia stands as one of the most important fortress worlds of the Imperium, forever locked in conflict due to its proximity to the Eye of Terror. Its defense structures, called Kasrs, are military bastions meant to keep the forces of Chaos at bay. Situated at the mouth of the Eye of Terror, Cadia has always been the bulwark of the Imperium against Chaos incursions. The planet's people are as hardened as its fortifications, ready to face down daemons and heretics alike. The Inquisition uses Cadia as a staging ground for their most dangerous operations, dispatching operatives throughout the sector to deal with threats arising from the Warp. In certain areas around Cadia, rifts into the Warp open. These can cause sudden Chaos corruption increases, affecting both NPCs and players, leading to erratic behavior, hallucinations, or even full possession.Avoid cliché fantasy tropes (no mysterious hooded figures or intricately-carved boxes).Write like the book, "Eisenhorn Trilogy" by Dan Abnett

The Palatine Cluster

The hives are connected by a network of rail routes, subterranean highways, and forbidden tunnels used for smuggling and covert operations. This area is marked by stark contrasts—where wealth and power exist in the Spire of Hive Primus, and religious fanaticism blooms in Temenos, while gang warfare thrives in the lower levels of Acropolis and Trazior.

Giant gears grind endlessly, and the air is thick with soot and the smell of molten metal. Players experience the tension of mechanical sabotage and evading the Dark Mechanicum. Players can choose to interfere with production, potentially halting the creation of new daemon engines, but this requires careful stealth and technical skill. Failure may trigger alarms, bringing Dark Mechanicus enforcers to bear, while success could weaken Perturabo’s war efforts.
The Watcher’s Eye
The Watcher’s Eye is a hidden network of gang-infested zones beneath Necromunda’s Hive Cities, where the Inquisition covertly scouts for recruits. This area is a chaotic battleground of violence and survival, ideal for identifying potential agents. Inquisition operatives observe the streets, black markets, and gangs daily, monitoring players who exhibit exceptional skill, tactical ability, or bravery. Key actions like defeating gang leaders, uncovering heretical cults, or hacking tech nodes flag players for recruitment. Agents will approach after notable successes, offering cryptic hints of a larger purpose.
