The '''Northern Foundry Collectives''' (also known simply as the '''Northern Collective Hives''', '''Northern Collectives''', or '''NorthCol''' for short){{Fn|1b}} were a cluster of [[Hive|hive cities]] on the planet [[Verghast]].{{Fn|1a}}
==History==
During the [[Siege of Vervunhive]], the Northern Collective sent reinforcements to aid their ally, [[Vervunhive]], repel an invasion by the [[Chaos|fallen]] [[Ferrozoica|Hive Ferrozoica]].{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}} Ten [[regiment]]s of [[PDF|auxiliaries]], comprising some 20,000 infantry and 5,000 armoured vehicles, were mobilised in support of Vervunhive, although some speculated that this gesture was made out of pragmatism rather than honouring their alliance, as NorthCol would have been the next target if the Zoicans had continued to advance north past the [[River Hass]].{{Fn|1b}}
In addition, the [[Imperial Guard Regiment]]s sent by the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]] to aid Vervunhive mobilised at the lift port of '''Kannak''' in the Northern Collectives, as the [[void shield]] protecting Vervunhive prevented them from landing there.{{Fn|1b}}
