UPDATE!! Utter Chaos and The 451 Ore Chasers clash over The Ashen Forge
See update below our original story.
Sources with the Underhive Hackers Collective (UHC), have leaked some classified information from the Palantine Enforces and other authorities. The leak reveals that a wave of gang violence is about to erupt within the Drake Sector.
According to the leaked intel, four gangs are currently preparing for skirmishes over coveted and densly populated neighbourhoods of our sector. The gangs are:
 | The Shockwaves, a House of Blades gang led by Electra Shockwave, who specialize in electrocution and shock weapons. |
 | Vicious Vixens, another House of Blades gang led by Mad Mave, who are known for their ferocity and speed. |
 | Utter Chaos, a Golliath gang led by Earl, who rely on brute force and heavy firepower. |
 | The 451 Ore Chasers, a scavenger gang led by Brasher Bull Fist, who scavenge and trade ore and scrap. |
The intel suggests that the two rival House of Blased gangs are both eyeing Popov’s Lab, a neighbourhood in the north of the Cluster that contains a valuable Synth Still, a device that produces synthetic alcohol. The Synth Still would be a lucrative asset for either gang, as they could use it to produce and sell their own brand of booze.
The intel also indicates that Utter Chaos and The 451 Ore Chasers are after some unspecified neighbourhoods, but that they are likely to clash with each other or with other gangs along the way. The intel warns that a blood bath may be imminent and that all citizens should be vigilant and stay indoors.
I’m publishing these leaks to expose the corruption and incompetence of the hive authorities and corporations, who have continue to fail in protecting citizens from the gang violence. She also claims that she has more intel to reveal and that she will continue to hack and leak until justice is done.

UPDATE!! Utter Chaos and The 451 Ore Chasers clash over The Ashen Forge
Sources with the Underhive Hackers Collective (UHC), have confirmed that a violent skirmish has broken out between two gangs in the Drake Sector.
The skirmish is currently taking place in The Ashen Forge, a neighbourhood in the south of the Cluster that contains a Slag Furnace, a device that melts down metal and produces slag, a by-product that can be used as a fuel or a weapon. The Slag Furnace is a valuable asset for both gangs, as they could use it to produce and sell slag, or to sabotage their enemies.
According to the sources, the skirmish started when Utter Chaos launched a surprise attack on The 451 Ore Chasers, who had only recently set themselve up in the slag furnace after it was abandoned by Van Saar. Utter Chaos are reported to be using their heavy weapons and explosives to blast their way into the neighbourhood, causing massive damage and casualties. The 451 Ore Chasers are hoping to use their existing knowledge of the terrain to their advantage.
The skirmish is escalating into a full-scale war, with both gangs calling for reinforcements and allies. The sources warn that the Slag Furnace is at risk of overheating and exploding, which could cause a massive firestorm that would engulf the entire neighbourhood and beyond. They urge all citizens to avoid The Ashen Forge and its surroundings at all costs.
