The **Kerill Gang** is a notorious Hive Gang that hails from Hive Tijuanios and Hive Palermonius on the Hive World Zizilus.

## History

### Paradise of Profit

Zizilus began as a quite prosperous hive-world, its twin main exports of promethium and iron-wood lumber ensured a profitable life for even the lowliest hive-dweller, while various smaller businesses like mining and farming ensured ample employment. The plant life was especially hardy, and seemed to thrive off of the toxic refuse produced by the many hive-cities that dominated Zizilus' skyline. But, tragedy struck when a psychotic rogue trader, angered by the sight of the beautiful world, crashed his ship into the very heart of the central hive city, Hive Tijuanios. The great sundering caused a mighty chain reaction, igniting the great stores of prepacked promethium fuel and lumber within the many ports and levels of the complex, toppling the once great Hive-City. The majority of the denizens of the lower levels of Hive Tijuanios were either crushed by the compromised architecture of the Hive or fled into the surrounding forests, hoping to eke out some living in the great woodlands. The main bulk of the nobles who lived at the top of Hive Tijuanios' spire were either cooked alive by the fuel or jettisoned into space, their lungs combusting from the sudden pressure change and lack of oxygen. Soon, the fuel lines and repositories connecting the various Hive cities to Tijuanios began to leak and ignite themselves, turning the paradisiac forests and lakes into a burning, boiling hellscape. The fires burned for 3 years, and only Only 0.004% of Hive Tijuanios' population escaped with their lives, but the worst was still to come.

### Aftermath and Acrimony

Due to a large number of Zizilian noble houses being decimated by this act of hatred, their only surviving inheritors were the son and daughters and cousins they had sent away to live on their myriad distant country estates, and were therefore safe from the brunt of the effects of Hive Tijuanios' destruction. These would-be nobles however, were not the great paragons of industry their forefathers were. They were the lushes, cads, womanizers, drunkards, and black sheep of the families, who had been sent away from the main Hive so as to not jeopardize their House's business affairs and reputation, and allowed to oversee relatively minor and unimportant mining and farming ventures. Some were playboys and simpletons, others were junkies and lunatics, some were too cruel and sadistic, others weren't cruel enough.

After a customary period of "mourning" (i.e. great revels and silent celebrations), the descendants claimed their respective inheritances and familial staff and began to enjoy the various luxuries that the Patriarch or Matriarch of a House might enjoy. However, this was short-lived, as many found their fortunes greatly decreased by the incident, and many traders were highly wary of dealing with a planet so soon after such a massive upset. They also found themselves the target of much antipathy and anger from the other Hives on the planet, who blamed them for the incident which destroyed their main port and source of income. The smart ones ended up with a pittance, the simpletons ended up with nearly nothing.

#### The Blame Game

The blame did not stop with the nobles however, many in fact blamed the local PDF for not defending their home against this horrible occurrence, and shunned them wherever they went. The PDF became a reviled group, and their very appearance became a sign of cowardice and shame. They would soon find kindred souls and ample funding in the once great nobles of the Houses of Tijuanios and would soon form a terror that would dominate all of Zizilus.

### Before the Great Gang Riot

The Kerill Gang was founded during the 37th Millennium from criminals and deserters from the local PDF of Zizilus and impoverished nobles. In the beginning, the newly formed gang had only 100 gangsters. But within a few years, the Gang grew from 100 to over 200,000 Gangers. Their territory covers the lowest levels of the Underhive of Hive Palermonius up to the medium level of the Hive. This gang maintains good relations with the nobles. Shortly before the outbreak of the 'Great Gang Riot', they expanded the gang in other Hives and in the vicinity of Palermonius.

## Territory

While based in the ruins of Hive Tijuanios, the Kerill Gang has snaked its way into all of the hives on Zizilius, but they are most prevalent within Hive

In the endless political crisis and economic breakdowns, the Kerill Gang developed to the only reliable organization on Zizilius. Over time this gang took control over 30 Mines, 10 Factories, 1000 Farms, 2 Space Ports, 1 Bunker of the PDF, 10 Ports, 3 old research stations of the Magos Biologis, 5 Prisons, the old fortress of the Adeptus Arbites, 40 Barracks of the PDF, 4 railroad tracks, 4,000 Villages. The ruins of the lost Hive Tijuanios serve as the headquarters of the Kerill Gang. Through a few smaller gang riots, the Kerill Gang was able to expand its power and control over the other gangs from Zizilius. In the year 589.M40, they allied with a criminal faction of Here-Teks from the Adeptus Mechanicus.

## Culture

## Gang Appearance

### Gang Heraldry

The Kerill Gang's heraldry is very different, as only a red Headband with a black skull with 3 silver daggers under the skull.

## Leader and notable members

**Anatolis Alcapaver:** The leader of the Kerill Gang. Born in the lowest level of Palermonius. His hatred of the upper class. His dream is that all Arbites and nobles be killed or enslaved. He is a very brutal and charismatic leader. He says that "he has 249 People killed." He lead the gang since 580 M40.

**Tech-priest Theolos Fatalsachez:** Fatalaches started his career as Tech-priest in the highest level of the Hive. His criminal preference moved in the hatred of the nobles and the Mechanicum. He escaped to the lowest level of the Hive with his Skitarii, making his way with the Kerill Gang. Fatalsachez and Alcapaver made a deal ensuring safety in exchange for technology.

**Colonel Faith O´ Alesiser:** Colonel O´Alesiser was an Officer of the PDF. When the old General of the PDF was murdered, O´Alesiser was not chosen as the new General. O´Alesiser swore revenge. He deserted from PDF with several Vehicles from PDF to the Kerill Gang.

## The Great Gang Riot

In the year 476.M41 will the planetary government the hive gangs destroy. This is the plan from PDF and Adeptus Arbites:

* The 1st PDF-Regiment and Adeptus Arbites(4.000.000 man, 20 *Marauder Destroyer, 100* Heavy Mortar, 1 Baneblade, 4,000 Leman Russ) attack the lost Hive Tijuanios.

* The Adeptus Arbites (with 400.000 man, 100 Macharius, 10 *Marauder Destroyer) attack the* the old fortress Adeptus Arbites.

### Time Line

* **The year 476.M41:** The heavy fights and the attempts to implement the plan failing. The Kerill Gang lost: 500 farms, 3000 Villages, 3 factories, half from Sizilius, and 1 old research station of the Magos Biologis. The death toll increased to 1.398.000.345 victims. Colonel O'Alesiser was wounded by the siege of Tijuanios. The 3rd PDF-Regiment lost 50% their men and 60% of their vehicles. The 5th Gang army lost 90% of their men. The gang held the southern part of the planet.
* **The year 477.M41:**  After many battles, the western continent burned 3 for months. The victims of war were 2.334.000.000 deaths. The little Hive Neapolium was completely destroyed by PDF. On the Southern continent, the Kerill gang massacred 2.1 million innocent civilians in revenge for the destruction of Neapolium. The PDF, the Adeptus Arbites and the local police force lost more and more of Sizilius. The commanding general from PDF was captured and executed by O´Alesiser.
* **The year 478.M41:**  The planetary government disintegrated. The Kerill Gang had all the factories. The Hive Koyuton, Novus Yorc, Ventosa Urbe and Emor conquered. Victims of war stood at 3.456.000.000. The refugees from the then destroyed Hives were enslaved forcing them to become soldiers and workers for their factories. Many Hives capitulated without a fight. At the end of the year, there started the final battle; the conquer of the prime Hive Akalpuca. All armies of the Kerill Gang and the surviving Units of the PDF, the local police and the Adeptus Arbites were involved in this war.
* **The Battle of Akalpuca:** 10.000.000 men of the Kerill Gang attacked the Prime Hive, Akalpuca, with a garrison of an army from the PDF, local police, Adeptus Arbites and militias with 1.000.000 men. The first attack started with an air and artillery strike from the Kerill gang on the highest level of Akalpuca. 100.000 men from the Kerill, attacked the northern outer wall and 300.000 infiltrated the Hive by an underground cave from the 10 lowest levels. 200.000 men attacked the door. 400.000 men attacked the Hive from the mountain on the south side. The defenders tried to counterattack four times, in order for the attacker to be forced to retreat. Times to times have been the counter-attacks to fight back. In the third month, Akalpuca broke from the Southern part, under the artillery strikes. A small group of Kerill Tech-priest infiltrated the generatorium of Akalpulca and sabotaged it. The sabotaged generator caused an earthquake, nearly destroying the hive. All outer walls collapsed, a mountain of rubble opened a way to the 30th highest level and the defenders couldn't hold the walls. The defenders retreated to a few strategic points:
* The local Adeptus Arbites fortress
* The Barracks
* The Astropathic Station
* The Planatary Governor's palace
* The Aurum Tectumque depot
* The Bellum Prison.

* The local headquarters from Adeptus Administratum.

The Astropath station fell at first and half the astropaths were killed. The gold warren depot, fell second and was looted by the Kerill gang. After a counter-strike from PDF again, the Kerill Gang conquered. While at the attack of the Kerill Gang on the prison, prisoners of war revolted. The defenders from the local headquarters of the Adeptus Administratum attacked twice. They would repel and fall at the 3rd attack. Colonel O´Alesiser let the barracks of the garrison burn, before the attack. The attack on the Adeptus Arbites fortress took four days and ended with the complete destruction of the fortress. At last the governor's palace was attacked. The storm on the governor's palace started with a few small gunfights in front of the doors, 300 gangsters break through a side entrance. The garden of the palace fell. The inside doors withheld attacks from the Kerill gang for 5 hours. The final attack was led by Anatolis Alcapaver. Only various resistance nests performed resistance for a few hours.

**Aftermath:**

* Anatolis Alcapaver executed the Governor.
* The enslaving of the surviving members of PDF, local police force and Adeptus Arbites.
* 10.000.000.000 victims of War.
* 20.000.000.000 citizen was enslaved.
* The daughter has been the personal slave from Anatolis Alcapaver.
* The nobles have been enslaved.

## After the great Gang Riot

 *The Adeptus Administratum accept Anatolis Alcapaver as Governeur while he enhances the tribute around 200% and Tech-priest Theolos Fatalsachez helps with his contacts to Adeptus Mechanicus. In the next years let Anatolis Alcapaver* subsidiary of the Kerill Gang was everywhere on the Empire's founding. Zizilus has been a world of crime, slavery and prostitution.
