'''Hive Primus''' (or '''Hive One'''{{Fn|4c}}) is the capital of the [[Hive World]] [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]], and the setting for the [[Necromunda (game system)|Necromunda]] game. The hive is known across Necromunda as the Palatine after 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.{{Cite ThisFn|3b}}
==Overview==
Primus is effectively the planet's only spaceport, as it possesses the only shipyard and landing field large enough to handle orbital carrier ships. This is intentional on the part of the planetary government, as it ensures the planetary ruler, Lord Helmawr has a monopoly in off-world trade.{{Cite This}}
The [[Imperial Fists]] Space Marines maintain a fortress in the hive - the original purpose for the Imperial Fists' presence on the planet being to clear out an invasion of Orks, which had occupied and devastated three entire hives. The presence has since become permanent.{{Cite ThisFn|5}}
Necromunda's fortress-precinct - the [[Adeptus Arbites]] planetary headquarters - is also located in the hive.{{Fn|33a}}
==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. {{Cite ThisFn|4a}} The Noble Houses consist of [[House Catallus|Catallus]], [[House Greim|Greim]], [[House Ko'Iron|Ko'Iron]], [[House Ran Lo|Ran Lo]], [[House Ty|Ty]] and [[House Ulanti|Ulanti]]. {{Fn|44a}}
==Hive City==
Below the Spire is the Hive City, separated by a large [[adamantium]] barrier known as "the Wall". The Hive City is five miles in height and home to billions of people. {{Cite ThisFn|4b}}
