Dalthus

Dalthus is a mining world in the Hazeroth Abyss of the Calixis Sector. On Dalthus, Inquisitor Octus Enoch uncovered a xenos-worshipping coven, only to discover its foolhardy Warp-dabblings had attracted not the alien overlords the cult members had sought, but the daemonic servants of Nurgle. Octus sent a cell of Acolytes to aid the Ordo Xenos in the battle, and during the event one of his Banishers averted an incursion that might have cost the lives of billions.
==The Folly of the Prefect Majoris of Dalthus==
When the Rogue Trader Lady Sun Lee was granted her
Warrant in 538.M41, it was on the condition that she
put in at the mining world of Dalthus in the Hazaroth
Abyss. The mining interests that ruled the world
had been tardy in paying their dues, and the Calixis
Sector authorities wished to apply a little pressure to
its Imperial Commander. Lady Sun Lee arrived in-system
and immediately commenced a continuous
broadcast extolling the glory of the Imperium and the
great honor the mining clans were soon to enjoy by
receiving her state visit.
The planet’s rulers were sent into a panic, believing
themselves about to be paid a visit by a senior delegation
of Adeptus Terra representatives expecting to receive the
tithe. Throughout the week it took for Sun Lee’s flotilla
to reach the inner system, the planet’s Prefect Majoris
launched a desperate round of tithe-raising amongst his
subjects. By the time the lady Rogue Trader arrived at
Dalthus, a cargo vessel’s worth of the dainty trinkets
for which the world is known had been readied for her.
The prefect received Sun Lee in what passed for luxury
on the mining world, showering her and her retinue
with gifts. Three weeks later, the Rogue Trader made
her excuses, having loaded up her vessel with the gifts
the prefect had offered, admonishing him sweetly to
remember to pay the tithe when the Emperor’s counting
boat arrived in a year’s time. By all accounts the prefect’s
face was a picture. He disappeared soon after, unable to
meet the coming tithe having opened his vaults to the
Rogue Trader Lady Sun Lee.
