A skull surrounded by eight mechanical claws: the symbol of House Van Saar

The House of Van Saar is one of the six main gangs in the city of Hive Primus on the planet of Necromunda. Van Saars are well-known for the superiority of their arms and equipment. Their technology is no more cutting-edge than any of the other Houses, improvement being virtually absent throughout the entire Imperium. Nonetheless the House's manufacturing procedures are clear-cut and its completed products are of the utmost quality. The Noble Houses of the hive are known to pay handsomely for Van Saar made goods thus; as a result, the House is undoubtedly the wealthiest in Hive Primus. 1 Due to this familiarity with Imperial weaponry, as well as the ability to improve it and their combat abilities Van Saars are often recruited by the Imperial Guard as "High Utility Conscripts".2

The Van Saars have a well-earned reputation of being serious minded and sombre people, with a deeply deep-seated emphasis placed on order and hierarchy. Like the other gangs of Hive City the Van Saars have a style of clothing which distinguishes them from others. In their case this equates to a close-fitting body suit intended to defend and sustain the wearer in the harsh hive environment. Semi-permeable membranes in the suit reduce the loss of the body’s dampness whilst numerous spots on the material change colour to inform the wearer of airborne pollutants and reduced levels of oxygen.3
