,better english
'''Gangs''' are violent, territorial groups that can be found throughout the [[Imperium]]. [[Hive World]]s are known for their extensive amount of gangs. Even [[Terra]] has a huge amounts number of gangs ; formed from the destitute non-adept population.
Hive world gangs are often part of the powerful rival families of the hives. Some gangs (known as brat gangs) are from the nobility of hive world cities. Powerful lower level gangs are sometimes legitimized by the [[Planetary Governor|Planetary Government]] as the hive world's [[PDF|planetary defense forces]]. From there they may be recruited into the [[Imperial Guard]].
