Necromunda Squats

The planet of Necromunda has a small squat population. These squats although not full citizens are afforded the same rights as any other abhuman, i.e. to not be arrested for being a squat. It has been known for squats to turn up in house Van Saar gangs. It has also been known for squats to form their own gangs. These gangs are frequently outlawed and almost always under suspicion but due to the squats natural stubbornness this doesn't tend to stop them.

Lawful: A squat gang start off lawful, with five territories, trading at the standard trading post etc. They are not Outlanders.
Under Suspicion: The authorities are always suspicious of squat gangs, for this reason several special rules apply. The squat gang only gain half the usual income from working it's territories. Any modifier on the outlaw table which varies between positive and negative is always considered negative. The gang must roll on the outlaw table after each game even if they are not reported. If the gang is reported then they must roll on the outlaw table twice and accept the lower result. If the squats are outlawed they have a guild price as normal, if this is payed off they return to legal status but are still Under Suspicion. If the squats roll a deputised result on the outlaw table they are not deputised but are no longer Under Suspicion. If they roll a deputised result when not Under Suspicion they are deputised as usual.
Hired Guns: The squats can hire any hired guns they can afford with the exception of bounty hunters. Bounty hunters will not work for a gang which is Under Suspicion.
Settlements: There are not many squats on Necromunda. To represent this settlements do not provide squat gangs with juves.
