To spinward (hence the name) of Calixis proper lies a wild and vast sub-sector called only 'the Periphery' (if you keep going you eventually reach the Scarus sector). The sub-capital (such as is) is the war-torn world of Kulth. The area is also known as the Spinward Front - for the region has been involved in a three-way struggle between Imperials, orks and the renegades of the Severan Dominate for many centuries. The Imperium usually has the upper hand, but with the Reaving of Finial and the Vortex opening up...no doubt the orks and rebels will rise again!

This peculiar warp anomaly lies at the edge of the galaxy. It's part of the belt of warp storms that separates Calixis from the Halo Stars. More specifically it sits trailing of the Koronus Passage and rimward of the Spinward Front. The sorcerers say that all manner of reavers and daemons are emerging from the Vortex (it is usually a closed circle, more likely to suck things in than let them out). If this is true it could prove an excellent distraction - and a source of possible allies/recruits. It's a long way off though.

Paradise world located beyond the fringes of the 6th Circle of Finial. A planet of great, sunbathed oceans and numerous island and archipelagos. Settled since hallowed antiquity, but only a few sea-hives remain to bear witness to lost greatness.

Conquered by Castor and his allies shortly after his ascension to Lord of the 10th. Serves as a forward base for those raiders operating in the deep. Queen Mikaela rules the planet (but she of course answers to Castor) from the capital island, but there are many semi-independent fief-islands that have been granted to loyal raiders and servants.

The world was depopulated by a visitation of the Tyrant Star. It has since been repopulated, in no small part by slaves from Zephyr. Diamantina is being rebuilt as a beacon of faith and allegiance to the Word.

World is named after the Queen's flagship. Formerly known as Kazim.

Sector fleet base for the 6th Circle of Finial. Heavily fortified and garrisoned.

Site of a great naval battle between the 10th Host and the Imperium. Great victory for the 10th, made possible by the defection of the CA Lord Hax and her captain.

The meaning of the name has been lost in the mists of time.

Shrine World on the fringes of the 6th Circle of the Finial sector, approximately 150 ly from Diamantina (Kazim). Famous for the devotion of its citizens and several holy sites guarded by the Sisters of Battle. Rugged terrain. Population 470 million, mostly settled along fertile strips of coastline or in conjunction with holy sites.

First visited by Castor en route to Calixis. Tricked the Canoness-Superior into providing him with 2 squads of Sisters, giving the fledgeling Daughters of the Word access to much-needed equipment (and some potential recruits).

Currently the site of a major invasions of the 10th.

Imperial frontier world located on the fringes of the Josian Reach, not far from the Meriates cluster. Completely uninportant in the larger picture. There is a small, but growing following of the Word there.
