{{Main|Clan House#Hive Primus}}
Hive City Primus is controlled by six Houses houses of manufacturers that each control their own section. Each of these powerful Houses houses controls a number of hive gangs which enforce the Houseshouses' territorial control.
*[[House Cawdor]]
*[[House Delaque]] - a mysterious House whose motives never seem clear. It is rumoured that some members of other Houses houses (even Noble Housesnoble ones) are secretly in their employ. They make significant use of spies and prefer to hunt down their foes silently and with 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.{{Fn|1a}}
*[[House Escher]]
*[[House Goliath]] - Seen as barbarians by the other houses, the Goliath's Goliaths are the most physically imposing of the houses. They are fierce enemies of the matriarchal Escher.*[[House Orlock]] - House Orlock is responsible for producing ninety percent of all the iron ore in Hive Primus, earning the house the moniker "House of Iron". House Houses Orlock and Delaque have been at each others other's throats for the last five years, following the assassination of Lord Hagan Orlock by members of the Delaque.
*[[House Van Saar]] - a House that deals primarily in mechanical goods, House Van Saar is known for the fine quality of their items, ensuring a good reputation and a high asking price for their work. As a result, they are the richest House in the Hive City. Wealth brings with it certain benefits, and so any Van Saar seen abroad is likely to be wearing the finest in armoured bodygloves and equipped with potent weaponry.{{Fn|1b}}
