'''Hive Primus''' (or '''Hive One''') is the capital of the [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]] [[hive world]], and the setting for the [[Necromunda (game system)|Necromunda]] game. The hive is known locally across Necromunda as the Palatineafter the fortified palace of [[Planetary Governor]] Lord [[House Helmawr|Helmawr]] which is located at the top of the hive's spire. It is the largest hive on Necromunda, and is part of the Palatine Cluster, which consists of several hive cities separated by many miles but connected at different levels through a network of travel tubes and through roads across the wastelands.
==Overview==
==The Spire==
Hive Primus's Spire forms the hive's upper layer, penetrating the cloud and pollution cover. It is the domain of the six Noble Houses and of Lord [[Gerontius Helmawr|Gerontius]] of the Imperial House Helmawr.
The Noble Houses consist of [[House Catallus|Catallus]], [[House Greim|Greim]], Ulanti, Ty[[House Ko'Iron|Ko'Iron]], [[House Ran Lo|Ran Lo]], Catallus [[House Ty|Ty]] and Ko'Iron[[House Ulanti|Ulanti]].
==Hive City==
* [[House Cawdor|Cawdor]]
* [[House Delaque|Delaque]]- a mysterious House whose motives never seem clear. It is rumoured that some members of other Houses (even Noble Houses) are secretly in their employ. They make significant use of spies and prefer to hunt down their foes silently and with the minimum of fuss. Customarily dressed in long coats that conceal plenty of weapons, Delaques affect shorn heads and whispering voices, a presentation that only aids their reputation for espionage.<sup>1-p.10</sup>
* [[House Escher|Escher]]
* [[House Goliath|Goliath]] - Seen as barbarians by the other houses, the Goliath's are the most physically imposing of the houses. They are fierce enemies of the matriarchal Escher.
==Underhive==
Below the Hive City is the more polluted, violent and lawless underhiveUnderhive. There is no constant or definite border separating the Underhive from the main hive city. Fighting between the gangs of rival Houses is mostly confined to this level of the hive.
