Ok, so I've got a new game starting Hive Tarsus and with a overview written I thought that I should ask for some feedback if there' something I've missed or something which makes no sense whatsoever. Some additional perspectives would be very useful here I think.
Spires: This area is almost entirely dedicated to the Army of Scintillan Protectorate and the orbital docks above as well as some other official Imperial or local things. Among them the great Radio Station with which the hive communicates with Ambulion, Gunmetal City and Hive Sibellus, as well as various landing pads and other support for the orbital dockyards and wharfs above.
Upper Hive: This is for the poor and is ruled by violent gangs and criminals “lords”. People here are generally outcasts and leftovers from the Middle Hive’s population as well as a smattering of mutants who can easily conceal their deviations. But the people still consider themselves loyal subjects of the Emperor, if not the Imperium. There is also secure communications running through the hive between the Spires and the Lower Hive which are kept under strict guard. It’s not uncommon for vigilante cults to venture into these areas in search of recidivists to bring the Emperor’s justice to.
Middle Hive: Just like all other Middle Hives this is where the majority of the population lives and it makes out most of the hive. Here are both vast living hab blocks as well as factories of different kinds. But most importantly it’s the seat of the Goldenhand auction hall and the associated offices can be found.
Lower Hive: Here are the middle class of merchants, officials and more specialized craftsmen. Here is also the Chatedral of Illumination as it squats and spreads it glory to the hive.
Underhive: Where normally the worst of the Hive would be gathered here is the nobility. In their subterranean mansions they live in great luxury and with overwhelming wealth. Strong forces of Household guards guard them and the freezing cold temperature makes for an additional layer of defense. All accesses to the Underworks are securely sealed and constantly guarded.
Underworks: The great sewers and mines beneath Hive Tarsus extend for miles from the great edifice. Here are the mutants and the descendants of abandoned miners gathered to fight for what few resources that actually exists. Thanks to the fact that the Underhive shields the Underworks from the rest of the hive the mutants and “miners” can live in relative peace down in the darkness. But away from the attention of the Ecclesiarchy heretical cults can flourish and there are hidden ways which leads upward to other levels of the hive for the bold and mad.
Hiveskin: Running along the hive except for the Underhive, this is where the mutants and the worst cast-off from the hive have been gathered and where they make a out a miserable existence. The Magistratum makes sure that the scum living in the Hiveskin does not bother the rest of the hive, with exception for the Upper Hive.
