Necromunda
is a game of fierce combat between rival gang fighters
in the dangerous underworld of the Necromundan Hive
Primus.
The hives are ancient and incomprehensibly vast cities,
built up, layer upon layer, stretching ten miles into
the planet's atmosphere. To those who live in the depths,
the dark and ruinous Underhive offers every opportunity
for wealth and power. Its collapsed caverns conceal
the riches of the distant past: rare and precious metals,
unfathomable archeotech devices, wondrous mutated fungi
and much more. It is also a place of danger, where mutant
creatures, renegades and killers hide from the laws
of House and Hive.

And, of course, there are others who want the riches
of the Underhive for themselves. Outside the hives the
planet's surface is covered by endless miles of toxic
ash wastes and the atmosphere is so polluted that it
corrodes the hive's armoured walls. Above is a harsh
sky and the sun's deadly ultraviolet light. Beyond the
planet itself is the wider galaxy and the great realm
of the Imperium of Man, an empire of a million worlds
held in thrall by the Adeptus of Earth. But such things
are nothing but legends in the Underhive where sky and
space, planets and even the ground itself are concepts
so wild and abstract that many refuse to believe they
exist.
