The Hua Yuanese are infamously xenophobic, passively discriminating against outsiders, both in their Hive and amongst foreign populaces. The Garden is home to many an internal faction and all the rivalries that come with it, but they will always unite against an outsider force. This attitude of theirs is what led to struggles of maintaining Imperial dominance.

	Pets are not too common in the lower areas of the hive, usually seen as a drag in resources and either eaten or bred to fight. Once one reaches a certain status or standard of living, one can afford to keep such things, especially amongst the many noble spires topping the Walled Garden. Nobles often breed or collect a variety of impressive beasts to show off their wealth and status as well as any other tacky adornment they may have.		Pets are not too common in the lower areas of the hive, usually seen as a drag on resources and either eaten or bred to fight.

Nobles often breed or collect a variety of impressive beasts to show off their wealth and status as well as any other tacky adornment they may have.

	One can usually determine the loyalties of a noble or merchant house by observing the animals they keep if shown nothing else; Hua Yuanese nationals will usually keep creatures "native" to the Hive, be they the docile Rainbow Centipede, Spire Hawks, finely bred Rat Hounds, impressively muscled Guardian or Pit Dogs, Alligators, Core Dragons or even some forms of pseudo sentient fungal creatures as well as the usual variety of boutique creatures bred from vermin stock, such as Orchid Mantises and albino bats. However those who kowtow to the Imperium or cozy up to the Praetorians often keep creatures foreign to the hive, usually in the form of Horses, bears, and Tigers and other large mammals as well as the ever popular eagle.

However those who kowtow to the Imperium or cozy up to the Praetorians often keep creatures foreign to the hive, usually in the form of Horses, bears, and Tigers and other large mammals as well as the ever popular eagle.

	Trophies are often kept as a symbol of status, especially amongst gangs and some militant sects. They can come in the form of capes made of scalps, tassels made from monk queues, the bones of enemies, bullet casings for every kill one has made, as well as possessions of the slain. However a common trophy amongst gang leadership is the acquisition of an ~~enemies~~ pets. In a mirror of the nobility above the bosses and sect masters take great pride in being able to feed and care for their beasts. Some are used as prized fighting animals, while others are treated with a level of care one would reserve for one's children. Some more bloodthirsty gangs and many sects will often prepare a ritual meal composed of the trophy beasts, fueling the very true rumors of the very bizarre Hua Yuanese ~~pallet~~. These meals feed into another facet of Hua Yuanese culture involving bizarre and otherwise overly complex meals with exceedingly strong alcohol and depending on the social setting exotic drugs, followed by a morning of cleansing tea and a two ~~days~~ fast.

These meals feed into another facet of Hua Yuanese culture involving bizarre and otherwise overly complex meals with exceedingly strong alcohol and, depending on the social setting, exotic drugs, followed by a morning of cleansing tea and a two-day fast.

	This often translates into the Guard, where soldiers will often keep dogs or other similar beasts that they find on the battle field and keep them for morale or an extra set of eyes, and during particularly trying times, as food. After a deployment these beasts are usually left to fend for themselves in the abandoned FOBs or are eaten. Often, however, guardsmen will pay handsomely to secure the passage of animals they've grown attached to back to their garrison or their families. These beasts rarely survive the journey back to Hua Yuan. Sometimes a particularly exotic or faithful Beast will be presented to a unit commander as a meal or a trophy gift. Commanders, especially at the Regiment and Division level enjoy displaying their animal companions, as it reinforces their image as leaders worth respect in Gardeners of all levels.

	Xenos Beasts, such as Squigz or Kroot Hounds are never eaten, and ~~even rarer still~~ are kept as pets. Those that do attempt to keep such things are either executed by a Commissar or reported to the Arbites and then the Inquisition. However commanders that would acquire such a beast usually seek approval from the Commissariat and the Inquisition, which are the same channels one must go to through to keep Xenos remains or Xeno-tech as a trophy. Such requests are usually denied and the item in question is confiscated for Inquisitorial study, but ~~their~~ are cases in which a battlefield commander can display a creature such as a Kroothawk. These beasts typically don't last long in the toxic air of Hua Yuan, and those that do are often neglected in favour of less heretical companions.

Lad's Latrine. Ladies Latrine. Basement and cellar. Storing for drinks, grub, weapons, etc The Main Bar. Juke box, bar top, tables, a specially reinforced dart board, electronic mahjong games because the last real-piece mahjong game happened, a guy was found out to have five of the same tile (it sparked the ten block rule), unusually competitive darts with a carefully maintained complicated betting board, and arm wrestling table (Do NOT wrestle Chromes, mutes, or abbies. Heretics, Gangers, and Imperials are fair game. The occasional Xeno that hasn't been dusted already...well normally the bar gets really quiet and we just let 'em be in their way. For ten blocks at least).		Space is at Premium and The Forlorn Stork has six rooms. Back room where Shang cooks up the grub.

Handlebar mustache, bionic eye, chromed arm, hard gut, worn beret, and bar apron, Ole Hester is the very picture of retired ex-pat, speaks the district-cant in an unmistakably Praetorian accent. All he does is gruffly remind folks of Rule Zero of the Forlorn Stork, a rule that's been in place at the watering hole for over two centuries, and please don't play that new trash on the jukebox keep it Praetorian or at least classic, it's all he's got left of home.

	While the Stork is etched in stone most clubs are transient. Be it a locked down Hab block, an emptied out Exterminator or Enforcer FOB, or even a dry sewer drain. Party starts, word spreads, venue fills up. Inevitably the place gets shut down, either because of Xenos, gang/cult/Sect wars, or enough bad shit has finally accumulated the the Enforcers or Arbites come to shut down the party.

	Music- At the time of the fateful voyage of the Hua Yuan, there was a peculiar music trend within some of the more isolated Imperium worlds. This genre of music has long since died out in the rest of the Imperium, but due to Hua Yuan's period of isolation and tendency for conservation, this music has found a prolonged lifespan within the Hive's walls. Typically consisting of loud, fast synthesized music, it is exported in very limited quantities to the rest of the Imperium, considered ~~esotaric~~ and ~~quant~~ by those wealthy enough to have time to waste on such matters. While not outlawed per se, it is highly frowned upon and not legally exported.

	The Grand Cathedral and Sororitas Abbey are built on the cliffs overlooking the main hive, separated by the Harsh atmosphere, but close enough that operations within Hua Yuan are easily performed. The cliffs are carved out into a gigantic aquilla, symbolizing the Imperium’s domain over the Hive. The exclusion and hostility by the natives, and the protection offered by the Sisters of Battle led to a large Imperial district that grew around it, going down the cliff and the surrounding lands. The Cathedral was designed to almost echo labyrinthian Hive, with seemingly endless mazes of dungeons and mausoleums. Members of the Administratum ordered a very large orbital dock be built to allow easy and Imperium controlled access on and off of the planet. As a result, the Cathedral has become quite iconic, as it is the first and last thing seen on the moon. This was designed with a more symbolic intent in mind, showing the Imperium’s dominance and power, acting as a reminder to whom the hive belongs to. This also rendered pre existing docks mostly useless, outside of smuggling and black market deals.

This also rendered pre existing docks mostly useless, outside of smuggling and black market deals.

	The Sisters are often thought of as the real power behind the Imperium on Hua Yuan. They’re the source of much tension, but are too useful to be ignored. Their brave defence against a Tyranid attack earned them much acclaim within the hive, especially the current Abbess, whose leg was torn off by a raver she beat to death, despite her distaste for her celebrity. Yuanese keep their distance from the sisters, who are viewed with fear and awe. The Yuanese are aware of their destructive capabilities and extreme measures of dealing with mutants and heretics, leading to their presence seen as a bad omen. They’re seen as outsiders who dress weirdly sombre, represent the Imperium and their dominance over Hua Yuan, an Imperial insult to have women lord over them, flaunt their excellent equipment in the faces of the less fortunate, and use dangerous amounts of fire in their purges, causing anxiety over the flames spreading in their cramped hive. Despite this, no one denies their zeal, they’re selfless defence of hostile strangers, aid of the poor and downtrodden, and important and influential relation to the Imperium, just begging for marriage opportunities		The Sisters are often thought of as the real power behind the Imperium on Hua Yuan.

	The Sisters are pushing a long game of political and religious dominance, much more blatantly than the Matchmaker. The Yuanese Ecclesiarchy is divided between local and Imperial dominance, and the Abbess wants to mend this rift as soon as possible, annoyed by how stubborn the Gardeners are. The religious theatre of Hua Yuan is engulfed in utter chaos as different factions push their own agendas and plans, undermining and preventing the schemes of others in the process. This state only got worse following the Tyranid attacks. Nobles began buying land and building “vast” new churches and cathedrals instead of houses or industry in war zones. This caused numerous problems, leaving the sisters and sympathetic clergy now much more overstretched than before trying to man all the new stations. It is not an uncommon sight to have small clusters of Sororitas working in a quiet corner of a much larger repurposed floor, alongside Hospitallers performing genescreening in deephive.

	Because the Cathedrals are sponsored by noble houses, they often house relics and Exterminator trophies inside, displaying them to the public. Some have chambers dedicated to the heroes of the Imperial Guard, having their names and accomplishments carved over the entirety of the walls, with the more notable and directly traceable trophies presented in the center. Banners of the Guard forces adorned with purity seals are a common sight in these cathedrals, often of fallen forces, despite the most common being the banner of the 1st.

	Hua Yuan is an Earth-sized Hive world, on the Eastern Fringe of the galaxy. It boasts an atmosphere comprised mostly of Neon and Kaihonium, a valuable gaseous ~~element~~ useful for several industrial processes. One of several moons of a large Gas Giant, Hua Yuan is geologically dead, and generally without remarkable features on its surface, aside from a massive equatorial canyon seemingly torn into the crust. However, despite this, the moon boasts rich deposits of several different elements, including adamantine. The atmosphere of the planet is extremely turbulent, with lighting storms giving the planet's entire surface an ominous glow as the skies are split by orange lightning, and make human habitation of the planet's surface all but impossible. As a result the majority of the planet's surface remains untouched by the hand of man, but in the depths of the equatorial canyon a sprawling hive reaches deep beneath the surface, marked only by the towering spires of the superstructure of a long-wrecked spacecraft.
