Weird, i thought i remembered rules for ("GM" or third player-controlled) arbites in the "Outlanders" expansion back in the day?

That's true cant recall if Arbites where amongst them tho, there where the co op idea where you would fight pretty much anything, stray chaos marines, genestealers ect.
Really think it a shame they did not include that in the game instead of the ever repeat of fighting another gang or 2.
The Arbites where not a gang at that point tho, that was in a journal i would guess and i know the later comunity Necromunda edition had Arbites gangs as well as some other.

my bad, you're right! i mistakenly thought that the arbites were included (albeit not as a persistent "gang" with experience and injuries) in the Outlanders expansion. checking my trusty old hardback copy of the old rules (which includes Outlanders), it seems that i got "adeptus arbites" mixed up with rules for an "arbitrator campaign" (where a GM would guide two or more regular gangs through a campaign with special scenarios, but the _arbites_ rules are not yet there).

I guess the arbites rules must have appeared in the "Citadel Journal" (before GW split it into separate publications for each of the "specialist games"), and i have some memory of reading them (in particular their special combat shotguns/ammo), which is weird because i don't think i ever had a single issue!
