The Thirteenth Hour - Xicarph

by DM B  

The only city Quaddis sports is called Xicarph—if indeed it can even truly be called a city. Xicarph, situated at Quaddis’ northern artic pole, is a sprawling vision of grandiose palaces, marble plazas, fecund gardens, and echoing amphitheatres—all bath… more »

Gorgonid Mine

by DM B  

The Gorgonid Mine remains the most important single mine on Sepheris Secundus, accounting for nearly 10% of the world's Gross Planetary Product. Directly beneath Icenholm the Gorgonid is like a gargantuan tiered cone turned on its head - the greatest… more »

Icenholm

by DM B  

The capital city of Sepheris Secundus is Icenholm. Built around Drusus' ancient star fortress this city of millions literally floats over the Gorgonid Mine. It is from here that the Royal House of Sepheris Secundus rules (with the ancient and decrepit… more »

Imperial Worlds

by DM B  

  In an effort to make it easier to picture a ‘Typical Imperial World’ I’ll try to paint an OOC picture of one. You won’t find any worlds that are exactly like this, but you’ll find plenty of variations over this theme. So this is intended to provide a… more »

Calixis Sector

by DM B  

  Cosmography: The Calixis sector is fairly large as Imperial sectors go, covering a large and ill-defined swathe of space to the galactic North, rimward of Ixaniad sector and trailing of Scarus sector. To trailing lies the Fydae Great Cloud (and beyon… more »

The Misericord

by DM B  

The chartist vessel the Misericord is easily the most infamous civilian ship in the Calixis sector. It is an ugly and enormous starship, looking like a barnacle- encrusted, spacefaring whale, from which jut haphazard clusters of engines and towers, and… more »

Tranch Insurrection

by DM B  

Timestamp: 807.M41 Location: Tranch, Adrantis sub, Calisis Sector Situtation: A mutant uprising in the soot warrens of the minor (by Imperial standards, by Calixian standards Tranch was an important world) industrialised hive world of Tranch rapidly d… more »

Reth

by DM B  

Historically, Reth has been entirely dependent upon its reputation as a paradise world. Consisting largely of a vast archipelago of thousands of golden islands scattered across a shallow warm turquoise sea, its climate and environment are said to be per… more »

Illeville/Driscol City/Skaltine/Baraspine

by DM B  

Driscol City is any outlying 'spire' (it's not really a spire, more of an underground complex cut into a rocky ridge a dozen clicks outside the capital) of Skaltine, the planetary capital of Baraspine. more »

Koronus Expanse

by DM B  

The Calixis sector is bordered to rimward (in this case that's the same as galactic north) by the Koronus Expanse. This vast region stretches from the outer edges of the galactic disk and into the galactic halo, where young vibrant stars are rare, and… more »

Fydae Great Cloud

by DM B  

Trailing of Calixis lies the vast stretch of wild space called the Fydae Great Cloud. It is named partially after the massive star cluster of the same name (the Fydae Cluster) and partially after the Great Cloud, which is a mass of interstellar gass and… more »

Scarus Sector

by DM B  

The Scarus Sector lies spinward of Calixis (together with Ixaniad it's Calixis' closest sector neighbor). The old hive world of Sinophia (Calixian Periphery) was once a hub for ships going to and from Scarus, but in the latter half of M41 most trade… more »

Ixaniad sector

by DM B  

Several hundred lightyears to coreward, beyond the troubled regions of Hazeroth and Adrantis, lies Ixaniad Sector (regularily misspelled 'Ixanid Sector'). The most common route between Scintilla and Ixaniad goes by way of Fenksworld in the Josian Reach,… more »

Interlude - Vern's Brief on Scintilla

by DM B  

High orbital view of Scintilla and her two moons Scintilla is the jewel in the Calixian crown. It is the second most populous planet in the sector and by far the most productive - although it has only half the population of Malif, it has twice that… more »
