Samson IV: Imperial world on the coreward edge of the Hazeroth sub. The site of the 10th's first major engagement under its new Apostle, Castor Rebelius Xandor. One Marine Strike Cruiser was lost to system defenses before the Word Bearers could effect a landing and pacify anti-orbital systems. After looting and general merrymaking all unshielded urban areas were subjected to orbital bombardment by the 10th's Battle Barge. Samson IV is currently plagued with pirate and xenos raids - it will also be unable to meet its upcoming tithe.

Kazim: Imperial world existing in an area of space lying between sectors Finial, Calixis, Scarus and Ixaniad. Captured by Castor to serve as the forward base for the Calixian raider force. There are two major continental (polar) land-masses. Neither is heavily populated. The majority of the 100-million strong population is housed on a major island chain near the equator. Around the capital island there exists a number of hive-like off-shore habitats of great age. After pacification the planet provides some recruits, plus edible bio-mass for the fleet and raiders. Lesser islands have been awarded to affiliated warbands to secure their loyalty - the fate of the inhabitants of these fiefs are varied, but universally appalling. A genestealer infestation was uncovered on the planet. The stealers were purged, but their Patriarch is till unaccounted for.

Cyprian's Gate: Located coreward of the Hazeroth Abyss, only nominally part of the Calixis Sector. Extensive black market and cold trade connections. Infamous pleasure planet for the rich and powerful from coreward Calixis and rimward Ixaniad. Scoured by the 10th as part of one of their first forays into Calixis. Launchpad for further infiltration of Calixis.

Consovor: A feral world close to Kazim that has never been cataloged by Imperial explorators. Or rather it was cataloged, but the Inquisition altered the records to show only uninhabitable and resource-poor worlds. ]I[ Renthor established a secret base at an ancient and abandoned hive. The daemonhost Karnak Zul led Castor here. Now taken over by the Word Bearers, expanded and turned into a secret base for the 10th Host. The world is geologically very active and characterized by lots of rugged terrain. The primary plant life is fungal. Macro-insects and other over-sized vermin dominate the ecosphere. The feral human stock has a high rate of mutation and the wilderness has a large beastman/mutant population. Human sacrifice is a common part of the local religions. There are very few remains of any high-tech human settlements. Most likely the humans are either descended from a long-lost colony that quickly collapsed or from marooned space-farers. There is consequently very little chance of archaotech salvage.

Zephyr: Shrine world at the spinward edges of the Finial sector. Famous for its many fortress-monasteries where Sisters of Battle train. Castor tricked the Abbess into providing his 'Crusade' with a number of Battle Sisters. A few survived to become Daughters, most did not.
