OUTLAW ARRESTED AND HUNG
After months of running from the Watchmen, Enforcer Patrols, Bounty Hunters and gangs, Van Saar Outlaw and murderer, Rickee Ficket was captured and hung in Coffin Heights at the start of the day cycle by Arbitrator Rodrigo.
The combined effort of the Arbites and Watchmen cornered the gang leader and his remaining few outside of the Blue Corner. Gang Members Hanzo” Knuckles” Vasili was shot while trying to run from the Enforcers and the rest were all executed in front of Ficket before he was hanged in the center of Coffin Heights.
HOUSE ORLOCK ISSUES ULTIMATUM
Spokesperson for House Orlock has issued a statement to the Noble House Greim and House Dealque.
“ Never before has this House been unable to fulfill its contracts. The back stabbing, sabotage and undermining of our trade routes and business efforts has left House Orlock no choice but to cease talk with both House and therefore all members of House Dealque will be treated as hostile should we come across them in Hive City or down below. Let House Vega of Tianos Hive also now that the fault of the broken trade lines is not the fault of House Orlock but of the shyster’s who live in the Spire.”
This statement was not received well by anyone here in Hive Primus- the implications of all out House War is dangerously close.

EL CHOTE DEAD- BAD DOGS DISBAND
The Lord of Sump Town is dead. He was killed yesterday night in a gang fight with long time rival Grimskull of the Destroyers. Both men scrapped it out in front of the Bad Zone Brewery while their gangs shot and fought around them. It was said that Grimskull got the best of El Chote, slamming him to the ground like a wild animal and choking the life out of the old dapper business man. He later vaporized Bad Dog ganger Bobby “ Chewi” Roberts with his melta gun.
The Bad Dogs have since disbanded and taken off their colors and handed over the keys and ownership papers of all their establishments to Grimskull.
It is indeed a sad day for the people of the North Zones and Sump Town will never be the same.
RED WOLVES HIRE WYRD?
Rumor has it that because of Red Wolves gang bad luck that Grimwal has hired to a wyrd to do his dirty work for him. The presence of an unsanctioned psyker will surely get that whole outfit outlawed if not bring down the wrath of Arbitrator Rodrigo.
GUILDER RESCUED BY CODICERS
Guilder Remo Valente was rescued from his abductors early this afternoon. The Van Saar Codicers were tipped off by an anonymous person that the Ficket Gang was holding him near the Blue Corner.
The operation was a smash and grab job and the Codicers also managed to haul in a majority of the gang , though Rickee and his closest mates were no where to be found.
Arbitrator Rodrigo is said to be impressed by Creed Hex and his crew and is considering making him the new Sgt. of the Watch since the violent passing of El Chote.

BULL DOGS SHOW THEIR TEETH
Three different incidents, three different locations- all at the same time.
The mastermind Malone of House Delaque has indeed showed the gangs of the North Zones just how much bite he has.
Four Bull Dog gangers were responsible for gunning down Red Wolves members “Big Happy” and “ Gunner Loko” and torching their club house in Diablo Hole down while the Wolves were said to be holding a deal with the Escher Shades in Green Water.
Across town in Badsville Malone himself called out Bad Dogs leader and Watchmen El Chote to a shoot out that took place near the Red Wastes so not to cause attention from the Enforcer patrol. Malone and three Bull dogs gangers accompanied him in the fiasco leaving one dead Orlcok, “ Stoney”, for El Chote to bury in the soft Hive Ash.
To really make a point though more Bull Dogs gangers ambushed members of Jester’s Iron Fists gang near the Dead Mans Run tunnels system. Sources say no one was injured but it is pretty clear that Malone means business.
HOUSE VEGA ?
While digging for mineral ore near Black Junction, members of the Death Dealers gang were assaulted by an unknown party and the fire fight that followed brought one more dead Dealer, “ Jax” and one captured assailant. The Death Dealers, not knowing what to do contacted the Dog Town Watchmen and handed him over to with no qualms.
Rumor has it the ganger is a member of House Vega in Tianos Hive. Suspicion and intrigue are quickly surrounding this story.
KALLAGRIM OUSTED- BECOMES GUN FOR HIRE
After the Red Wolves club house( and living quarters) were burned to the ground, the gang spent many hours drinking and arguing at Red Zeke’s Booze Shack.
Eventually the bartender threw them all out and the gang began attacking their leader Kallagrim. Onlookers were shocked when he decided to turn his back and walk away, allowing youngster named Grimwal to attack him from behind.
The incident ended quickly with the much larger and powerful Kallagrim Duffy aiming his shotgun at all the members.
He was later found found drinking and eating a hearty breakfast at the Golden Troll in Dog Town, he commented on the event:
“ Who needs those worthless chumps anyhow…they are a bunch of stooges…never listened to me or my brothet…I’m done with the gang life…but I am going freelancer…look for me at Morrissey’s Trade Post.”

DEALER OF DEATH IS SLAIN
In House warring is rarely seen in Hive City but down here in the under belly of great Hive Primus it is all too common. Cross town rivals Destroyers and Death Dealers both of allegiance to House Goliath have been known to have a few skirmishes out in the Red Wastes and near Black Troll Ruins.
Yesterday was no exception as they clashed in hostility over rights to turf and homage. The Black Troll Ruins will now be remembered as the place where Dred Hogan fell. The Death Dealer gang leader was slain in a seven on one melee in which ganger “Berserker”, of Destroyers , finally brought him down.
The Enforcers under command of Sgt. Hauk witnessed the battle as his men made sure the violence did not spread to the nearby settlements.
“ The leader, who was outnumbered, was swinging a chainsword like some sort of mad sump pirate…he was determined to go down swinging….”
Grimskull was heard toasting to the memory of Dred as a Goliath through and through though many believe he finally grew tired of Dred’s loud mouth and upstart mentality.
RETURN OF LAW AND ORDER
With Arbitrator Rodrigo now restoring order to our habitation pocket of the Underhive, thing seem to be returning to normal. Not much is known about this former Enforcer from Hive Tianos other than that he has a stern military background and his first plan is to sweep the tunnels and waste zones of outlaws, mutants and Rat Skins.
He will be stationed in the recently renovated Precinct House in Coffin Heights until a new Precinct is built in the Sprawls since it has the densest population.
HOUSE ORLOCK HOLD UNDERHIVE SUMMIT
The House of Orlock is holding talks to let their Underhive kin understand the situations with the Noble Houses and rival House Delaque. So far three representatives have gone as far as Down Town and Girder Falls to gather local Orlock gang leaders, businessmen and heads of familys. The recent deaths of Orlock agents in Dog Town point to Delaque assassins, but no offical word has been given.

REST IN PEACE KILLIAN DUFFY
Killian Duffy was laid to rest on the outskirts of Diablo Hole, buried next to his former gang members and family. Killian died from several gunshot wounds during a conflict with the Ratskin Renegades known as Tunnel Ratz.
Duffy and the Red Wolves managed to fight of the would be raiders but not before being hit by a multitude of Ratskin autoguns. Friends of Duffy and the Red Wolves gang have vowed that his death not be in vain and revenge will be served one way or another. Killian’s younger brother Kallagrim will head up the gang now.
GUILDER ABDUCTED!!!!!
Popular Guilder Remo Valente was reported missing to the Merchant Guild when a member of the Escher Shades found a ransom note and handed it over the Watchmen. Apparently The notorious outlaw “ Ficket’s Gang” is behind the abduction and want the Merchant Guild to pay up or deal with one less Guilder.
A spokes person for the Merchant Guild gave a statement today after talks with local bounty hunters, gang leaders and the Watchmen.
Baldo Steinhurd meet with local press members outside the Guild warehouse in Sump Town:
“ Mr. Ficket and his band of thugs have not a clue what they have just done. The Guild will not hand over a single credit chip to those that would bring harm to one of our own. I hope he makes peace with the Emperor and understands the consequences that he has just made for himself and his lackeys. “
The Merhcant Guild Federation has now doubled the reward for Rickee Ficket and placed it as dead or alive.
HEIST AT THE SIN INN
A group of masked bandits held up the Sin Inn last night and was able to clear the credit vault of over six thousand credits. A Bull Dog ganger named” Sneaky T”, says he think someone let the robbers in the back door.
“ They had someone on the inside. They had to. No one just waltzes in OUR front door and demands creds…it’s okay though….we know who the thieves were.”
When asked who the Delaque gang was going after he simply said “ No comment”.
We hope the Bull Dogs get back what was rightfully theirs.
