The Icy Grip of Sepheris Secundus
Located in the Calixis Sector, Sepheris Secundus is a frozen world with a galactic position of 52/34/CS/NNE. This unforgiving environment is home to a hardy population of miners, laborers, and nobles, all bound together by a strict feudal system.
A World of Darkness and Toil
Sepheris Secundus is a planet shrouded in darkness, its surface perpetually hidden beneath thick clouds. The landscape is scarred by massive open mines, their depths plunging into the bowels of the earth. The air is thick with toxic fumes, and the ground trembles with the constant rumble of mining operations.
The Feudal System: A Legacy of Oppression
At the heart of Sepheris Secundus’ society lies a rigid feudal system, where every individual is bound to a lord or noble. The nobles, in turn, owe allegiance to the ruling monarch, Queen Lachryma III. This system has been in place for centuries, with the nobles maintaining their power through a combination of tradition, force, and control over the planet’s resources.
The Mutant Underclass
Beneath the feudal system lies a subclass of mutants, individuals twisted by the toxic environment and forced to live on the fringes of society. These mutants are often relegated to the most hazardous and menial tasks, their existence a mere whisper in the winds of Sepheris Secundus.
Inquisitorial Interest
Sepheris Secundus has attracted the attention of several Inquisitorial factions, each with their own agenda for the planet. The Rekongregatators see Sepheris Secundus as a key world in the sector, one that holds secrets vital to the reform of the Imperium. Meanwhile, the Monodominants seek to undermine the mutant population, viewing them as a threat to the established order.
Imperial Presence
Despite its importance, Sepheris Secundus is largely ignored by the Imperium, with only a token presence of Adeptus Arbites and Ministorum clerics. The planet’s distance from the Imperium’s core worlds has allowed it to maintain a degree of autonomy, but this independence comes at a cost.
A History of Bloodshed
Sepheris Secundus’ history is marked by countless uprisings and massacres, as the feudal system has been repeatedly challenged and reinforced. The ruins of ancient kingdoms dot the landscape, testaments to the transience of power and the enduring legacy of oppression.
As the darkness closes in around Sepheris Secundus, its people remain trapped in a cycle of toil and suffering, bound to the whims of their noble overlords and the crushing weight of the feudal system. Will the Inquisition’s interest in the planet bring about change, or will Sepheris Secundus remain forever locked in its icy grip?
