Clove

Clove is a Hive World in the Hazeroth sub-sector of the Calixis Sector. The nobles of House Landsholt have many of their members in high positions of Clove's infrastructure, including planetary governor Tesnius, the world’s High Tithe Master Arlatius, its Chief of Arbitration and Enforcement Helatius and Cardinal Dantius Landsholt, overseer of the Hazeroth Arch-Diocese and member of the Sector Synod, all of whom are siblings. The tight-knit nature of the Landsholt nobility has kept the planet firmly in their control, even as others in the Hazeroth Sub sink into control of other groups, such as the Adeptus Mechanicus.
A cult of Imperial faith known as the Cloudspeakers of Clove are based here, though not officially recognized by the Ministorum.
==Paradise Lost, Found, then Lost Again==
In 298.M41 a Rogue Trader named Salgut Falkin entered
the Koronus Expanse and set sail for the uncharted
regions beyond. He had but one task to perform before
he was free to make his fortune however he saw fit—
30,000 colonists accompanied his fleet, individuals
judged surplus to the requirements of the Hive World
of Clove in the Calixis Sector. Falkin was eager to be
rid of his unwelcome passengers and quickly located a
world that seemed ideal for their uses, a verdant planet
of tropical islands and warm azure seas. Stopping
only long enough to oversee the deployment of the
colonists’ prefabricated habdomes, Falkin continued on
his voyage.
Twelve years later, the Rogue Trader returned to the
world, now dubbed New Clove by the colonists. His
adventures had seen his fleet decimated and his fortunes
in tatters following a series of encounters with the
Eldar. He paused on his return journey, to discover that
the colony he had left over a decade before was now a
thriving community, populated by happy, healthy, and
prosperous colonists. Falkin immediately set himself up
as Imperial Commander of New Clove, hoping to enjoy
a life of luxury. Unfortunately for New Clove, the Eldar
had tracked Falkin across the expanse and discovered
what was to them a long-lost Maiden World. The Eldar
demanded the immediate withdrawal of all humans
from New Clove, and when Falkin refused they invaded,
forcibly ejecting the intruders once and for all. Falkin
and the remainder of his flotilla disappeared in to the
expanse once more, never to be heard from again.
==Unique Equipment==
Scav-Glysten
This drug is an unexpected by-product of the polluted effluvient
dumped by the forges on Synford. Scavengers found pools of the
oily liquid, and discovered that drinking it lessened some of their
normally foul body odors. The hives of Clove refined the liquid to
create Scav-Glysten, which is injected for maximum effectiveness. Once in the bloodstream it moves to the pores, altering sweat glands and other natural processes from emitting any scents,
pheromones, or anything else that could be used for tracking. After repeated doses the user’s eyes will take on an unnatural appearance like an oil film, with rainbow patterns across the cornea.
Scav-Glysten use imposes a -30 to any tracking attempts
to detect the user via scent for 1d10 hours. They also gain the
Concealment and Shadowing skills when attempting to hide
from or track animals.

Clovis Mark IV Plasma Gun
While the Clovis Munitorum is deservedly known for its
shoddy and low-quality manufacturing, this gun represents
a genuine attempt to imitate an ancient high-quality weapon
using recently-sanctified designs discovered just decades
earlier. The goal of manufacturing a more powerful plasma
gun met with failure, however, given the near-impossible task
of properly applying the underlying holy sciences involved;
the Dark Age of Technology still remains a shadowy beacon
over humanity which may never be grasped. The Mark IV
pattern nevertheless became an accidental success of sorts, as
its weaker collimation system produces smaller, more diffuse
plasma spurts. Though it has lesser power than standard (and
better manufactured) plasma weapons, the Mark IV allows the
user to spray several blasts with one shot, providing effective
suppressive fire against even heavily-entrenched enemies.
This weapon may be fired on Maximal Setting, but not while
on fully automatic---single shot and semi-automatic only. This
weapon may be equipped with any plasma gun ammo.
