'''Brat Gangs''', also known as ''Brats'',{{Fn|1c}} are [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]] [[gang]]s that are composed of high status youths, who live in its [[Hive]]s' upper levels.{{Fn|1a}} Brat gangs, rebellious, inquisitive and privileged, are mainly concerned with upholding the honor of their households. They often clash with other Brat Gangs but also travel to their Hive's lower levels, to raid other gangs and to rampage among the lower status populations that live there.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}
Brat gangers can be quite well armed due to wealth and access to imports. Exotic weaponry is favoured.{{Fn|1}} On the eve of 40th Millennium the [[Helot cult]] [[Cult of the Exquisite Corpse]] arose from the manufactoria of [[Hive Prosperine]] and what began as a localised rebellion in a pharmaceutica plant had within a week turned into an unrest the Hive Prosperine [[Palanite Enforcer]] corps was hard pressed to contain. Spreading uphive, hundreds of Brat gangs throw in their lot with the workers, seemingly just for the thrill of it.{{Fn|5}}
