'''Hive Primus''' (or also known as '''Hive One'''{{Fn|4c}} and '''The Palantine'''{{Fn|3a}}) 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.{{Fn|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 ThisFn|3a}}
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.{{Fn|5}}
