Mid-Hive

Mid-Hive

The middle levels house the working class, including factory workers, artisans, and traders. It is bustling with markets, hab-blocks, and manufactorums. The Guildhall of the Artificers, a place for skilled craftsmen, is a notable landmark.

Primary Landing Platforms

Primary Landing Platforms

Huge adamantium platforms extend like the petals of a flower from the main structure, each large enough to accommodate gunships, shuttles, and small Imperial transport ships. From here, the spaceport’s formidable void shields flicker with barely visible energy, protecting the landing vessels from the planet’s harsh weather and occasional hostile incursions.

The Administratum Offices

The Administratum Offices

A central wing of the spaceport is dedicated to the Administratum, who process the endless paperwork of Imperial bureaucracy. Towering data-slate stacks and scroll-laden shelves line the chambers, where scribes and cogitators record every transaction and tithe.

The Armoury and Defense Bastion

The Armoury and Defense Bastion

Beneath the spaceport, a heavily fortified bastion houses the spaceport’s defense systems. Heavy bolter turrets and lascannon emplacements cover every approach, ready to repel attackers or rogue vessels. The Armoury within is stocked with weapons, power armor, and supplies for the Adeptus Arbites, PDF troops, and even Space Marine contingents who may visit the port.

The Manufactorum

The Manufactorum

The Manufactorum serves as the relentless industrial heart of the hive, a sprawling complex where the clanging of machinery blends with the acrid scent of burning oil and molten metal. Within these towering structures, the Tech-Priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus command legions of servitors and skilled workers to fuel the war machine of the Imperium. The constant threat of malfunctioning machines and catastrophic failures looms over this place, where every corner hides shadowy figures and whispered secrets.

The Spire Districts

The Spire Districts

Home to the wealthy and powerful, including high-ranking members of the Adeptus Mechanicus, influential nobles, and successful merchant guilds. It features opulent estates, advanced cogitator libraries, and sanctums of the Omnissiah.

The Underhive

The Underhive

The Underhive is a sprawling labyrinth of shantytowns and derelict machinery, where the forgotten and downtrodden scrape by in the shadows of a society that has long since abandoned them. It pulsates with life, chaos, and desperation, where gangs stake their claims in the ruins of a once-great civilization. Here, the Redoubt stands as a grim fortress, a testament to the violent power that gangs wield over the disenfranchised populace. The air is thick with smoke, and the cries of traders echo through the alleyways, promoting the wares of the black markets that thrive amidst the ruins.
