Notes on Life in the Hive by LG., Historian and Traveller | Rogue Trader Wiki

"The world turned out to be completely different from what I had imagined. My distant home of Alvi-ar-Tani, though swathed in black sands, is nowhere as hot as this stone cocoon. Not even the force field can shield us from the embrace of the local star! In daylight hours, staying close to the outer walls would be insane - a person would either suffer heat stroke or simply be boiled alive. The surface does I not have the time to cool after darkness I comes, so living here is like being encased in a steam barrel at all times. Throne be praised, the upper city has cooling zones that provide welcome relief! Despite the predatory prices and absolute disdain the locals have shown toward my quickly lightening purse, the glacial gardens remain my favourite place to relax.
