Approximate pages referanced listed, I have the Omnibus with the book in it, not the book on it's own.
It was arranged with the outer habs and manufactories running along the River Hass to the North, with two bridges leading inside the main Hive, one rail, and one road.
Central to the hive was the Main Spine, surrounded by more habs, the Commercia district, and the Shield Pylon in the very center. To the west was the Hass West Fort, which was manned by [[Vervun Primary]] troopers and officers, such as [[Ban Daur]]<sup>2</sup>, the City Landing Field, and more habs outside the great walls.
To the southeast was the Croe Gate, northeast was the Ontabi Gate Fortress. To the south, the Hieronymo Sondar Gate led into the Square of Marshals, which was bordered by the Anko Chemical Plant. The Veyveyr Gate, also to the south, was bordered by the Ore Works and the Basilca.
Various mining districts lay outside the southern gates, with The Spoil and the Mud Flats to the southeast, past the walls. <sup>1</sup> The Hive was a busy place during most times of the day, with many of it's citizens attending jobs for the various Noble Houses, such as Sondar or Chass. Public address plates displayed holos about the day's news.<sup>3</sup>
A producer of large quantities of materials for the [[Imperial]] [[Crusade]] that was occurring in the [[Sabbat Worlds]] [[sector]], it was drawn into the crusade directly when it was attacked during an attempt to conquer the world for [[Chaos]]. Initially, the inhabitants of Vervunhive thought they were under assault by the rival hive of [[Ferrozoica]] in a replay of the "Trade War" of 90 years earlier. However, when [[Commissar]] Kowle led a Vervunhive armoured division out to meet the forces of 'Zoica', it became clear that this was no conventional assault; the Zoican army massed in the millions. In comparison, Vervunhive could muster approximately 500,000 troopers out of a population of over 40 million people. What made the force imbalance all the more disturbing was that Ferrozoica was approximately 1/3 smaller in population and size than Vervunhive.
