Hivecult

The Hivecult is a Genestealer Cult that can be found across many worlds in Imperial space, though it originated on the Hive World of New Gidlam. It has spread across the Segmentum Solar in recent solar decades. Its leaders are particularly interested in infiltrating Imperial military units to make their expected uprisings much easier. The Hivecult are militant, organised and hierarchical. They infiltrate not only the criminal underworlds and hive city gangs of their host planets, but also the Astra Militarum regiments that recruit from them. To the Hivecult, it is a divine duty to be armed and dangerous. Unusually warlike and overt in their practices, the Hivecult combine the fanaticism of the broodkin with the destructive might and martial training of the conventional Imperial military.
