Editing Hua Yuan (section)

==Notable Gangs==
Hua Yuan is home to staggering amounts of gangers and criminal organizations, most, however, are largely insignificant. There are some gangs that either play an integral part in Yuanese society, or simply are dangerous enough to warrant great amounts of infamy.

===The Ketsueki Ronin=== 
A vicious biker gang dedicated to Khorne, who they refer to Boss Brass or the Red Sensei, these pompadour'd headhunters place honour above all else, to the point where if they take the head of an unworthy foe, or if they use cowardly tactics to defeat the enemy, they are honor bound to take their own lives for Boss Khorne to save face. Headed by the hideously scarred Kenji Zugaikotsu, also known as Kenny Skullface on account of half his face missing after a fateful encounter with an Exterminator's shotgun. The experience apparently made the greaser hear the voice of the Red Sensei himself, and vowed that the Hive would be bathed in the blood of his master's foes.

===The Pale Lotus Sect===
An odd gang even in Hua Yuan, these cultists are based in the former sanitation ducts of the original ship, they have been around since the Jade Flame Sect, however instead of borderline heretical psudeo-Imperial teachings the Pale Lotus Sect is highly heretical, worshiping the Heavenly Father and actively spreading his blessings amongst the Hive. These Nurgalite Monks are surprisingly clean for a chaos cult of their leanings, and are in fact exceedingly tidy and well kept, and often patrol the ship and lower hive seemingly attempting to maintain sanitation and cleanliness. It is not corporeal filth that the Pale Lotus Sect embraces but the degradation of the soul, preaching that should embrace their mortal suffering and shun everything save the embrace of the Heavenly Father. Adherents lives slowly begin to rot away around them and their surroundings fall into greater squalor as they wallow in their own self pity, but also attempt to upkeep their own image to appease the Heavenly Father as the Heavenly Consort does. A strangely hypocritical monastic order the sect conflicts the zealous Jade Flame Sect and the Ecclesiarchal Forces, while only the later is aware of the true meaning behind their heretical innuendo. Beyond their beautification of the Hive the monks of the sect also practice a great deal of animal husbandry. Breeding plague rats and other foul beasts to hawk their meat or let them loose in the upper levels to plague heretics with the Heavenly Father's corporeal gifts, which only exist to show the heretic how meaningless the body is. It is through this vector that the taint of Nurgle is brought to hive, held at bay by the Xenos threat lurking in the shadows and by cultists more rabid than themselves.

===The Chengguan===
The Chengguan are a private security and detective agency on paper, but are little more than thugs for hire. Founded by Zou Chen in the lower hive, rumors of the ruthlessness violence these gangers committed spread throughout their corner of the Hive. Eventually they were hired by a noble family to settle a territorial dispute, which is where they got their big break and renown. They butchered their rival's forces so thoroughly that no one is quite sure who exactly they were fighting anymore, only that they’re no longer around. Once the most extensive and well known “guns for hire” gang around, they have no central structure, only a loose bureaucracy that ties each outfit together. Most of their work involves suppressing worker riots and maintaining civil order for noble houses, but they are known to take any job, from being hitmen to private detectives. Members dress in expensive uniforms of magenta and cyan, using money extorted and robbed from the people on their turf to buy the most state of the art equipment around. Anyone can hire a Chengguan to do any job, as long as there’s money and violence involved.

===The Bloodied Rat Sect===
Born in the sinful pits of the lower hive, the Bloodied Rats are a redemptionist cult, believing that Hua Yuan is doomed because it has been led astray from the Emperor's light. They have no central leadership or command structure, identifying their brothers by the list of sins and battle rites tattooed all over their body. They wander the hallways of the middle hive flogging themselves in repentance, and act out violence on those they perceive as committing transgressions against the Imperial creed. They damage property, beat and kill transgressors, and even perform ritualistic self-sacrificial acts to make a public statement, such as suicide bombings. Because of their encompassing list of sins and tendency for violence, a vast number of them find themselves in the penal regiments of Hua Yuan. They see this as a great honor, fighting (see:dying) for the Emperor as their ultimate purpose, rushing into battle with a religious and suicidal fury.
