Editing Hive Blues No 5 (section)

== Government ==
The planet is ruled by a tyrannical dictator named the Overseer. Nobody knows if this person is a man or a woman as he or she always appears clad in a customised and fearsome crimson Power Armour. By means of fear, intimidation, violence and spying on the populace as well as military might the Overseer rules with an iron grip since the rise of this government. The Imperium, by large, doesn’t mind as the productive output of the Planet (mainly weapons and ammunition) has increased since the Overseer leads the noble houses.

The government maintains its own, standing army of the Overseer. Any able bodied man or woman can join the army but most nobles rather join their houses local militia. So the army usually recruits from all sections of the hive (and sometimes they even mob up people from the lowest levels). Only the very best make it into the Hastus Special Forces (HSF), an elite cadre of soldiers wearing crimson battle armour also serving as bodyguards of the Overseer. Law enforcement typically is under the purview of the local section governor but there exists a secret special police which is directly working for the Overseer.
