			'''Autopistols''' can have an extended 30-round clip. If you fit them with one, they cannot be holstered and must be fired two-handed or the weapon imposes a -10 penalty to Ballistic Skill Tests.

In practice this means pistols; anyone seen walking around with a longarm will be viewed with extreme suspicion and fear, and besides, it would get in the way of your work.

Some people can only afford simple hand-to-hand weapons such as knives or clubs, or simply prefer to carry something small that won't get in their way. Uphive, it is said, the merchant families and noble houses have taken the tradition to absurdity, carrying either incredibly ostentatious weapons like lacquered bolt pistols, or even just belt-swords forged from gold and crusted with shining gems.

			=====Gangs=====
			Violent gang activity isn't very common in the parts of the hive that Lazarus has grown up in, although further into the Underhive it's as common as breathing as people struggle to survive.

	===Hive Vanguard===		===Hive Vanguard===
	~~To come!~~		Hive Vanguard on the north side of the planet soars up five miles into the sky, a black mass of structure that tapers as it goes, the upper spire well away from the thick, dank lower levels which are in turn beshadowed by the ring of nine subhives that sit radially around Hive Vanguard, each over a mile tall in its own right, and each connected to their looming parent by thick arterials pumping transports and power back and forth.

			Look more closely at the lower levels, and you can see the densely-packed Imperial architecture that has grown up over a thousand years, gargoyles and lifter platforms and defense lasers littering the steeply-inclined surface. Behind these ferrocrete and plasteel walls teem untold millions of inhabitants, all of them packed away in thousands of dense hab-blocks each consisting of hundreds of individual hab-units stacked atop one another and looking out into the narrow streets that the neighbouring blocks also look out into, and which feed the inhabitants to the tramlines and mass transport trains.

			Low in the hive city is Subsector T, which holds the workers for Factorum Level Theta, which produces the all-important Component Theta-436-T. The families of technomats and assembly line workers that live in Subsector T are each assigned a single hab-unit. Each such unit is 2 metres from floor to ceiling and has one bunk room, two metres square, with two sets of bunks; and one living room, with a total area of twenty-one square metres and including a one-square-metre shower pod and a food preparation area as well as a table and four chairs (unfixed). If you are lucky and your unit is on an outer edge of your block, you will have a window onto the street.

			In Hab-block 9467-Green, there is one such hab-unit. It has four listed occupants: Frastus and Ethina Jakes, and their offspring Lazarus and Zee Jakes. The Jakes family are lucky - their unit not only has a window, but it also is on the very top level of Block 9467-Green, so that they have nobody living directly above them.
