→The Sludge Seas
===The Sludge Seas===
Chocked with ash, thick with chemicals and poisoned by heavy metals, the sludge seas are all that remains of Necromunda’s ancient oceans. The consistency of the sludge varies from a thin, chemical soup to viscous polluted mud. Near the equator, the sea’s surface has solidified into a crust of sludge, baked hard by the sun. Conventional ships are useless in such conditions, and only flyers or hover vehicles cross the seas. It is even rumoured that some [[mutant]]s even live in these areas, utterly isolated from the rest of Necromunda.{{Fn|1g}}
The sludge seas support their quota of hives. Some have been built on massive piles, driven deep into the sea floor, while other (relatively small) hives have been constructed on massive floating platforms anchored in position. On more than one occasion a floating hive have broken free during an ash storm and sunk or capsized. Survivors of such disasters are rare.{{Fn|1g}}
