Novella Shio

`**Novella Shio**

also known as Nova, is the fourth and youngest main character. She is also the one with the most mental health issues.

Nova is 18 years old, lives with Kristel, Clarissa, and Malory and attends the same classes as Malory but majoring in ICT and computer engineering. She works in the town's pet clinic owned by Landon Miller whom she also has a crush on since she first met him at age 10 when he was an intern aged 18.

Nova is smart, intellectual, insightful and analytic. She also suffers from a dissociative personality disorder, DPD.

Until her 8th birthday, she had a lovely and lively household with her two parents. Her mother was a homemaker and her father worked for an oil company and often traveled to different countries, mostly Arabia, for his work, keeping in touch with Nova and her mom through letters.

After Nova turned 8th and her father began to contact them less and less, staying away from them more and showing less interest in his wife and daughter, eventually just leaving them behind to start a new life in Arabia.

After her father left them, her mother began to drink heavily and became incapacitated. Her mother believed Nova's father met with foul play but shows signs of her knowledge that he left them behind to start his own life.

Since a young age, Nova had to take care of the household, cleaning, and cooking as well as regulating the bills, food and money for the household as she mothers spend it lavishly on alcohol and mentally abusing Nova. Nova still attended school and slept only as much as 3 hours a day. She also had a cat she took care of since she was 5 years old. At this time of her life, she began to develop an alter ego to cope with the hardships, abuse, and neglect by her mother.

She eventually left the house at 18 to live with Kristel, Malory and later joined by Sasha and Julie.

Zodiac sign: Gemini

In the spin-off book, Nova's double personality is a serial killer, with a body count of 5. She kills Natasha in a heated argument, pins it on Landon and gets him arrested.

Mandalore

### Notes

Mandalore was once the former capital of the Mandalorian State. It enjoys a level of autonomy unrivalled by any other sector or sub-sector in the Imperium.

Mandalore is a type-I planet found within the Imperium of Andarra. It is famous for its unique culture that prioritises the diversity of its members and the adherence to The Way. Furthermore, it is the capital of the Mandalore sub-sector.

In .M17 A.D., the Mandalore sub-sector was separated from the rest of the Imperium through a series of warp storms that essentially drew a line between Imperial and Mandalorian space. The sub-sector declared its independence from the Imperium and pursued its own agenda for almost two millennia until it was ultimately reintegrated into the Imperium with the signing of the Treaty of Hiigara at the end of the Second Galactic War

## Geography

The planet has often been compared to pre-warp Terra with its natural beauty. Sprawling mountains cover the landscape and azure-blue oceans span as far as the eye can see. One of the planet's most notable feature is the massive crater found near the northern pole of the planet.

Despite its pristine condition, the planet is filled with dangerous fauna and flora. Giant creatures roam the vast plains of Mandalore, destroying entire villages in its wake. The people of Mandalore were thus forced to adapt to their harsh environment, which contributed greatly to the creation of their culture and philosophy.

## History

### Pre-Imperium

Mandalore was once home to an ancient alien race known only as the Precursors, who are rumoured to have created the warp relays, the Eye of Maw, and even the immaterium. Ancient ruins can be found throughout the planet's landscape, though any attempts to venture into these ruins have always yielded no results.

The planet was first colonised by humanity right before the Great Collapse in M7 A.D. Back then, the planet was named New Terra for its resemblance to humanity's homeworld Due to the low amount of colonists that came to the system, they were able to conserve much of their resources. Nevertheless, the planet suffered the same catastrophe that ravaged the galaxy, plunging the system into a state of isolationism. Their low numbers also came with a disadvantage as many of the settlements on Mandalore would find themselves under attack by the dangerous wildlife that thrive on the planet. These circumstances forced the scattered tribes to unite under the rule of a single man named Mandalore the Vigilant. He created a strict hierarchal order that espoused values such as honour and honesty, which would ultimately culminate in the creation of The Way. Through his actions, his new society was able to conquer the rest of the planet with relative ease. For a period of time, there was peace—but peace was not a prospect that the true followers of Mandalore should achieve, for, with peace, their way of life would falter into obscurity; and with the loss of their life, they would revert back to their prey status prior to Mandalore's unification.
The Obvious Identity (album)

**"Is everybody happy?"**

This article is about **the debut demo album by Cardiacs, ***The Obvious Identity*****. You may be looking for **the song with the same name**.

## Singles from *The Obvious Identity*

***The Obvious Identity*** is the debut demo album by Cardiacs, released under the earlier name of Cardiac Arrest. It was recorded throughout June 1980 and was self-released in the same month. It was their first album of any sort and was Michael Pugh's only other appearance with the band after the 'A Bus for a Bus on the Bus' single.

## Background and production

The album was produced by Cardiacs leader Tim Smith at Crow Studios in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, UK. It was recorded with the punk/DIY ethic in mind as Smith had little cash to invest in the project. The master tapes were duplicated onto as many old cassette tapes as Smith could find. An anonymous member of the band has been quoted as commenting that "the recordings were so shit it wouldn’t matter if they were copied onto washing-up sponges." About 1000 cassettes were produced.

## Release and promotion

*The Obvious Identity* has never been reissued, and is consequently one of the rarest Cardiac Arrest/Cardiacs releases. However, many of the pieces from it have either been reissued on other Cardiacs releases or have had live versions appearing on other albums.

Model-21 Anti-Ship Ion Cannon

The Model-21 Anti-Ship Ion Cannon is an Imperial energy weapon designed to disable large ships. It is typically found on the ground, but these cannons can be mounted on ships.

## Design Specifications

The weapon ionizes hydrogen gas by allowing a hydrogen atom to capture an additional electron. When a hydrogen atom gains an extra electron it forms anions. Thus, the weapon utilises these anions by accelerating them through a particle accelerator. Within the accelerator, the negative ions are released into an ion acceleration chamber. This chapter contains an electrode with an alternating electric charge of up to 1,000,000,000 (109) volts. While the charge on the electrode is positive, the ions would be attracted to the negative charge of the electrode, and would thus gather around it. Next, the negative charge repels the negative ions and accelerates them to near the speed of light. The resulting beam of anions passes through a chamber filled with low-pressure gas wherein collisions with the gas strip the extra anions, thus rendering the beam neutral. Finally, the beam is released from the chamber where it will disrupt the structure of the target through its kinetic energy. However, what sets this weapon from the rest of the Imperium's arsenal is its ability to disrupt a ship's electronics system as the cannon has the additional side effect of producing electromagnetic radiation. As a result, they are often used in conjunction with MAC cannons as these weapons are highly effective against ship shielding; its background EMP could also disable a ship's electronics system, rendering the ship effectively immobile for a period of time.

## Variants

### Model-21 (A)

The Model-21 was the first variant recovered by the Imperium. The design for the ion cannons was recovered by the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus prior to the start of the Great Crusade. It is one of the most common—and weakest—variants, producing a total output of 100 gigawatts.

### Model-21 (B)

Unlike the A-variant, the Model-21 B is one of the most powerful energy weapons in the Imperium's arsenal. This model has a total output of 5000 gigawatts. Due to the heavy energy usage, these weapons can only be mounted on large ships such as light cruisers or battlecruisers.

## Lyrics

All my mind’s pissing out of me pouring brain.
It’s my slave.
And I’m counting on kitchen clean for the masses,
I can save, yeah, I can save.
I can save and I'm amazed that I can save and I’m amazed that I can save and I’m amazed!

Pissy eyed gaggling’s over tomorrow after eighty after ay!
Time in now, really.
No! Not entirely now, I lied;
Now I delay.
Need some funds money undone
Me on some for money undone.

I know where I don’t want to be,
Out looking for people in trouble.
Oh, hello shadow! You go away and you
Warm me up like only your fire can do,
Warm me up like only your fire can do.
More of the same,
More of the same old highs.

Kiddie voice piercing my nodder like a nail
And I can kill.
Yeah I stabby all kill Acne Thunderer blaster I can kill,
Yeah, I can kill!
Storm of feeling good fun; fuck my animal heart and ache
And heart and ache.
Tiring now dishing out all my fancy almond ache
And arm and ache.

Leaf all my money, oh my!
Me need some funds money undone
Me on some for money undone.

What’s in my hand?
Its your beady-eyed blade on the edge of my tongue,
Its your Belly-eyed bleeder.
Only just begun to rebuild him,
But will he turn out like you’ve done?
Whoa!

Tiring wait till these things can fly,
Now that I sit inside her fire,
My feet firm higher Me filled with gloom.
Warm me up like only your fire can do,
Big belly-eyed bleeder on the top of you.
I know where I don’t want to be,
Out looking for people in trouble.
Oh, hello shadow!
You go away and you warm me.

Primordial

The Primordial is believed to be the last surviving member of the Precursor race. They managed to escape the devastating conflicts that brought their race into ruin and has presumably lived in exile since the destruction of their cosmic civilisation.

Many have claimed to see Them in their dreams, but none could provide sufficient evidence to confirm of Their existence. However, it should be noted that the Primordial has some connection with aether users as almost all incidences concerning the Primordial involved known psychic users. Notable individuals include Historian Lynn Asifah and the Mother of Mothers, Genetrix.

Whoever they are, what their purpose may be, is uncertain even to the brightest minds in the galaxy. But whatever intentions it may have, it would most likely have something to do with the Flood...

Squalor is at large in tidy suburbia
Filth and dirt abound in every corner yes
Things left on the floor
Abandoned foodstuffs and things left on the floor
Piles of dirty stuff left to go off and things
To go off and things

Got to tidy up my room tidy my room
Put my things away and make it spick and span
Make things spick and span

Cast aspersions on my lifestyle
Cast aspersions on my lifestyle
Cast aspersions on my lifestyle
Cast aspersions on my lifestyle
Take it Sarah

Squalor
Is
At large
In
Tidy
Subur-bia

Squalor is at large in tidy suburbia
Filth and dirt abound in every corner yes
To go off and things

Human

Humans, known scientifically as *homo sapiens*, are a spacefaring species native to Holy Terra. They first achieved interstellar travel after uncovering the Charon Warp Relay in the 23rd century, where they would rapidly expand as their own political entity until they were incorporated into the Old Republic.

Most humans in the 21st millennium live in the Imperium of Andarra, an authoritarian regime under the rule of the late-emperor Karl Franz; but there are countless billions of humans who live beyond the Imperium's borders.

## History

### Age of Terra

Humanity is considered as a relatively-ancient race by most species in the galaxy, though they were unable to progress as quickly as some races—like the Illyrians or Secorians—due to their turbulent history. However, their isolation from the rest of galactic affairs allowed them to develop their own distinct perspective on a wide variety of matters which greatly contributed their rise as the galaxy's foremost species.

The period before the discovery of the Charon Warp Relay is referred to as the Age of Terra. Not much is known about this period, but it is assumed by most Imperial scholars that humanity partook in a brutal conflict that resulted in the widespread destruction of Terra which rendered the planet uninhabitable for almost a century. When the warp relay was uncovered, humanity wasted no time in unlocking its secrets, and thus achieved interstellar travel soon after its discovery.

### Golden Age of Technology

Mankind entered a technological, cultural, and societal golden age that lasted from M3 to M7 A.D. The race expanded quickly to its neighbouring star systems, colonising planet after planet. Eventually, humanity made first contact with the Secorians at New Shanxi, though they did fight against one another over a minor dispute regarding the activation of the system's local warp relay. As part of the Treaty of New Shanxi, humanity was given association status in the Galactic Republic—a massive interstellar government that prided itself as an egalitarian society.
Sivik Cobra

Sivik Alteria Cobra, otherwise known as Cobra, is an Imperial High Inquisitor who serves as the leading representative of the Inquisition in the Senatorum Imperialis. He has served the Imperium of Andarra for much of his adult life and is infamous for his cynical approach to life, which led him to commit many atrocities for the Imperium and the Mother of Mothers.

## Early Life

Cobra was born to human parents on the civilised world of Reach. His parents were cruel people, needlessly abusing him for their own entertainment. He killed his parents when he was nine-years-old—a crime that got him into jail for over a year. During this dark period, the wardens of the prison recognised Cobra's ability to control people that were years older than him. Eventually, the Inquisition received word of this 'child prodigy' and released him on the condition that he would serve in the organisation for the rest of his life. Cobra instantly accepted the offer.

## Career

### Inquisitor

In the fifteen years after Cobra was released from jail, he built a reputation for himself as a cold, but efficient, man. His works are legend—he exterminated the heretics of Osgiliath, purging the world of its many sinners and crowning it as a new shrine world to the Holy Mother; he drove the Hondi to extinction; and cleansed a hundred worlds for the Holy Mother.

Nevertheless, his reputation as a heartless man does not stand against scrutiny. In Cobra's perspective, he does what needs to be done, for he understands the state of the Imperium down to the most minute detail. His presence instills fear and devotion to the people who encounter him; his mighty blackships patrol the vast emptiness of the Imperium, destroying any who threatens humanity. As the Inquisition are given limitless autonomy to do as they see fit, Cobra does not confine himself to the strict morals of the Imperium.

### High Inquisitor

Cobra was promoted to High Inquisitor in 871.M21 A.D. after the previous High Inquisitor, Cato Sicarius, was brutally killed by an abhuman during one of his purges. Since his promotion, Cobra has acted mostly independently from the agenda of the Imperium, conducting secret raids against the New Republic whilst undermining many of the functions in the Senatorum Imperialis that he deems 'unnecessary'.

His deadly reputation meant that rumours have circulated concerning his true allegiance. These rumours speculate the possibility that Cobra—and his colleagues in the Inquisition—might have been responsible for the widescale devastation of the Gothic Revolts and, ultimately, the sudden death of Emperor Karl Franz.

## Personality

Cobra is an ultra-nationalist who does not fear using Machiavellian tactics to ensure the stability of the Imperium. He is not afraid to go against the various adepta that form the Imperial government so as long as it expands his agenda for what he thinks the Imperium needs—a strong and capable government that does flounder itself in the bureaucratic mess of the Adeptus Terra.
Economic Revitalisation Act

### Terms

* The following corporations are allowed to participate in the affairs of the Senatorum Imperialis: Alphabet Inc., Schultz Energy Corp., Sicarius Heavy Industries, and Teta Consortium.
* In return, the aforementioned companies shall share 15% of their annual profits with the Imperium.
* Corporations are restricted from engaging in business with Xenos without an official permit of approval from the Adeptus Administratum.

### Results

* Megacorporations permitted to participate in governmental affairs.
* Certain worlds are designated as Corporation Worlds.
* Massive boost to the Imperial economy.

The Economic Revitalisation Act of 797.M21 A.D. was an Imperial law that sought to improve the economic state of the Imperium of Andarra by granting greater powers to megacorporations, thereby encouraging these corporations to further entrench their businesses in the Imperium. Some corporations, such as Sicarius Heavy Industries, hailed from the New Republic, thus solidifying the dependency between the two nations.

## Overview

The law was born when Emperor Karl Franz visited the backwater planet of Bosgavina where local officials abused their positions of power by siphoning funds from the public. After a swift crackdown on the corrupt elements of the planet, the Emperor began to ponder the possibility of loosening the Imperium's economic stance on trade. For millennia, the Imperium sought to establish an autarky—an independent state capable of fueling its massive demand for goods by producing said goods on their own. However, this led to the Imperial durn losing much of its value as the nation continued to pursue a policy of isolationism from the rest of the galaxy.

The Emperor's plan was simple: Allow a small number of influential corporations from across the galaxy so that they may have an incentive to engage in trade with the Imperium. Furthermore, he opened the Imperium to new trade agreements with various galactic powers, like the New Republic and the Valgryan Union.

### Result

After the law was passed in 797.M21, the Imperium was flooded by a sudden influx of trade from thousands of opportune traders. Two New Republic megacorporations—Sicarius Heavy Industries and Alphabet Inc.—entered Imperial markets and began to establish themselves as two of the four powerhouses in the Imperial economy. The value of the Imperial durn skyrocketed overnight as investors poured billions of credits into the bourgeoning Imperial economy.

However, some people in the Imperium believe that the Emperor might have compromised the inherent values of the Imperium by engaging in foreign trade, particularly those who align themselves with the Creed of Andarra faction.
Warp Relays

Warp relays are massive transit devices scattered across the Milky Way galaxy, typically located within star systems, that allows space-ships to travel vast distances of vast at an unprecedented rate. The warp relays are commonly believed to have been created by the Precursors who once used the warp relays to connect their vast, interstellar empire. Unfortunately, the warp relays mysteriously malfunctioned in M7 A.D., forcing the civilisations that once relied on these devices to create their own versions of FTL travel.
Book of Sorrows

Ancient beyond comprehension, the Book of Sorrow is said to have predated the Precursors themselves. Its pages chronicle events that once was and what will be. Those who try to comprehend its secrets never returned the same, their minds pushed to the point of near insanity. However, this has not stopped scholars from exploring its dark secrets; it is even believed that those who wield the powers of the Aether are capable of reading the book without its dreaded side-effects. The Book of Sorrows currently resides within the deepest bowels of the Library of Terra, locked behind a golden gate guarded by the Empress's Chosen.

## Overview

The exact history of the Book of Sorrows is unknown, but it was ultimately discovered by the forces of humanity during the Great Crusade. The Holy Mother recovered the ancient text from the Rakatans of the Alpha Centauri system. Why the Rakatans had the book remains a mystery. When the Holy Mother set her eyes upon the grimoire, she pointed at it and ordered her Chosen to seal the text in the deepest chambers of her great library—if the God Empress herself feared the contents of the book, then perhaps its contents was not meant to be read by the mortal eye. Its pages have long since calcified, producing a boney texture that ends at the last page of the book, where it ends with a blank piece of raven-black paper.

### Summary

It is the role of the Chancellor of the Imperium Libraricus to decode the mysteries locked behind the runic language of the Book of Sorrows. As of Karl Franz's reign, the Libraricus have only decoded ten out of forty verses, scattered unevenly from chapter to chapter. Nevertheless, the contents of the book can be summarised into four segments:

1. Dawn—in the beginning, they Ruled.
2. Time—cosmic forces, great and small, embark on a pilgrimage.
3. Hubris—decadency is a plague whose tendrils corrupt even the purest of souls.
4. Insight—why, what, how [does life persist in a dying galaxy]

Lynn Asifah, chancellor of the Imperium Libraricus, has been instrumental in deciphering the mysteries of the Book of Sorrows. However, since she first opened the pages of the Book of Sorrows, she—

NOVA Bomb

> *"Dear alien bastards... We are in possession of the most powerful nuclear device ever to grace this beautiful galaxy. When detonated, it can destroy entire worlds. You've seen Concordia Dawn. Consider your choices wisely, Xeno scum."* — High Inqusitor Sivik Cobra
>
>

The NOVA is a powerful nuclear device created by the Imperium during the waning days of the Great Crusade. At maximum power, it possesses the ability to shatter entire worlds.

## Design and Mechanism

The bomb consists of nine hafnium-based nuclear fusion warheads in an encased shell made out of an unspecified material. Within the design of a NOVA warhead is a red matter particle that collides with the bombs. When activated, the red matter is released from its container, allowing it to collide with the nuclear bombs; and the shell compresses and traps the blast within a fraction of a second, intensifying the blast and intensifying the blast yield by a thousandfold.
Officio Amicitia

The Officio Amicitia, colloquially known as the Office of Friendship, is an Imperial adepta dedicated to the maintenance of the Imperium's relations with the various nations of the galaxy. It is a peculiar adepta as many of its members hail from the Imperium's greatest rival—the New Republic. The adepta is represented by the ambassador of the New Republic as a symbol of mutual respect, despite their xenophobic attitude towards the Republic. The Office was first introduced by Emperor Karl Franz shortly after the enactment of the Xenos Act of 849.M21.
Forge World

A forge world is an Imperial term for the numerous planets that are under the direct control of the Adeptus Mechanicus. These planets are responsible for producing many of the Imperium's goods as well as the development of new technologies through the recovery of pre-Collapse technology. Much like the cardinal worlds of the Adeptus Ministorum, these forge worlds also serve as massive cathedrals to their Machine God.

Unlike the sprawling factories found in an ecumenopolis, a forge world *is* the factory. Massive industrial zones cover the landscape as their forgeries ran hot with magma drained from the planet's core. Mighty fleets are constructed within these factories, and some of man's greatest technologies can all trace their origins to the secretive labs of a forge world. Monolithic titans walk across the surface, guarded fiercely by the tech-guards of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

Like its owners, all of the forge worlds in the Imperium operate semi-autonomously from the rest of the Imperium. Nevertheless, they are subject to the whims of the emperor who can call upon vast legions of tech-priests to procure unquantifiable amounts of ships, munitions, and materials for his grand Imperium.
Cardassian Incident

The Cardassian Incident, or the Nitroean Insurrection, was a conflict fought between the Imperium of Andarra and the United Rebel Front over control of the Cardassian Sector.

## History

Fighting erupted after the Emperor of the Imperium, Karl Franz, was almost killed in an explosion on Cardassia on 5.2.804.M21. The council told the Imperium that they were not involved in the assassination attempt, but it was discovered that some of the members of the Cardassian Order—including Grandmaester Anakin—had been collaborating with General Nitro and his insurrection. The Inquisition responded by executing Anakin and his accomplices in front of the entire order. The Nitroeans seized the chaos that was created and struck back against the Imperial forces on the station.

A massive firefight ensued, resulting in the death of many of the order's members. The Inquisition abducted many of the psykers into their blackships while the spartans of the Iron Lords legion slew the rebels with ease. However, the combined Imperial forces were no match against the powerful pyskers of the order and were summarily forced to retreat from the station. Fortunately, the Emperor was able to be evacuated shortly before fighting erupted.

Meanwhile, the Nitroeans were able to drive out the Imperial forces from Requiem

## Lyrics

Don't pity me
My sun shines only for me
Occasionally gives me hope
For the day I always wanted

I know the part that's never learned by anyone-two
So stick it up your arse by the left Mr Soldier
I'm safer on my own
When you go home
You'll all be in boxes so piss on you
Fighters right or wrong

Look at me now
Wow I'm impressed
You'll see when you
See me on the beach
See me on the beach
See me on the beach it gives me
Hope for the day I always wanted

Uniform a man of action
Uniform a man of action
Blame him to save blaming me
I can't quite reach him
Seeing is believing
But it never occured to me to do so anyway

I feel as high as the moon
But never mind it's hope day soon
It's plain to see I'm only bluffing
Man of action see him suffering
Dead men tell no tales
It seems that I'm halfway home

Blame him to save blaming me
And hurting someone pointlessly is
As easy as ABC
So carve me out an effigy

Passive action leaves no traces
Dead soldiers with silly faces
Mr "S" holds all the aces
Playing games and winning races
My soldier I kill you
Though I loved you more than all the world
The thought of dying makes me ill
I'm scared because I want to kill
So Blame him to save blaming me
And hurting someone pointlessly is
As easy as ABC
So carve me out an effigy

War in Heaven

The War in Heaven was an apocalyptic conflict fought between the Precursors and the Reapers which resulted in the total extinction of the Precursors and their dreaded foe.

## Overview

In the beginning, there was one—the Primordial, an ancient being older than the Precursors themselves. They were the First Precursor, and as They sang his music, the universe exploded into existence. Over billions of years, the Precursors gave created life across the cosmos and constructed monolithic megastructures that stood the test of time.

However, sometime in the distant past, far before the Illyrians first took flight in their craftships, a mysterious threat known as the Reapers emerged from the darkest corners of the universe. They waged a bloody war against the Precursors throughout all of the universe, so much so that they breached the Aether in order to exterminate the scattered pockets of the Precursors. As their numbers dwindled, the Precursors turned to more desperate solutions, amassing vast quantities of resources towards the construction of countless superweapons that were capable of stopping the Reapers. In the Book of Sorrows, it faintly describes the events that preceded before the Precursors ultimate annihilation. They were constructing a number of superweapons that were capable of exterminating the Reapers, but what happened to those weapons or the mysterious disappearance of the Reapers remains unknown.

## Prophecy

In the last surat of the Book of Sorrows, it stipulates a prophecy—that one day, when the life of the firstborn was snuffed by adamantium, a great reckoning will be unleashed upon the universe. The Reapers, or whatever is left of them, will return and they will return to the galaxy with a great flood that would sweep across the cosmos until all of life is extinguished.
Astra Sparticus

The Astra Sparticus, known colloquially as the Spartans, is an Imperial adepta representing the three legions of Spartans that defend the Imperium of Andarra from any external and internal threats. They are immortal beings, genetically-engineered by the Holy Mother to serve her during the Great Crusade. In the early days of the Imperium, there were millions of Spartans roaming across the stars, conquering planet after planet in the name of their Imperial majesty, but those times are but a fading memory. Few remain after Galatan's Rebellion, where only four legions remained loyal to the Empress while the squabble beneath the Arch-traitor's feet as he launched a grand crusade against his own kin.

They are the Empress's Children, the mightiest warriors the galaxy has ever seen. They are humanity's greatest accomplishment, and they know no fear, only the bells of war.

## History

### Great Crusade

Every spartan can trace their lineage to the massive genetic labs stowed hidden away under the surface of Luna. When the Holy Mother united Terra under the banner of the Imperium, she set a course to humanity's first colony, for the gene-cults of Luna were rumoured to possess biological knowledge that surpasses Her own. A bloody campaign was fought against these gene-cults—one that lasted an entire decade, for every time Her mighty thunder warriors defeated the gene-cults in battle, they would simply dig deeper. Ultimately, Her campaign proved to be successful once the last of the gene-cults were integrated into Terra's bourgeoning domain. After a decade of brutal fighting, the Imperium sails the stars once more. There, in the deepest room in Luna, the Empress connected with the powers of the aether, breathing new life to Her creations—ten thousand genetically-engineered humans, injected with the fantastic powers of the aether. Then, the awakening. Galatan Oriona, leader of the Thousand Sons and future Warmaster of the Imperium, awoke from his slumber.
For four hundred years, the Spartans paved the foundation on which the Imperium stands today. A million worlds were integrated into the Imperial fold
Galatan Oriona

Galatan Oriona, colloquially referred as Galatan, was the former warmaster of the Imperium of Andarra and once-trusted friend of the Mother of Mothers. He later fell to the whispers of the aether, betraying the Empress and sparking a decade-long civil war known as Galatan's Rebellion.

His body and soul were obliterated by the Empress, removing him from existence. Although his spirit was crushed, his betrayal has often been viewed as an act of defiance against tyranny by critics of the Senatorum Imperialis.

## History

### Early Life

Not much is known about Galatan's early life other than that he was born to a poor family that resided deep in Siber. At an early age, he possessed the potent ability to manipulate matter. His family left him for dead in the frozen tundras of the Siber, forcing the young Galatan to survive on his own for a time. He was six years old when his family abandoned him.

His psychic ability, however, was extremely unstable and he would not learn of this fact until later in his life. Nevertheless, his profile caught the interest of the newly-crowned Empress of the Imperium, who saw him as a potential candidate for one of her greatest projects.

#### Indoctrination into the Astra Sparticus

Galatan was contacted by the Empress via vague telepathic messages. Through these messages, Galatan's interest piqued, and so he ventured away from the Siber in order to investigate the origins of these messages.

### Outcome

StalemateMandalorian victory against the Republic (seizure of Ilum and Concordia Dawn)

### Casualties

2 billion civilians (est.)500 million troops (est.)

256 ships (est.)

The First Galactic War was a galaxy-wide conflict fought between the Imperium of Andarra and the New Republic that saw the creation of the Andarran demilitarised zone and the legitimisation of Mandalore as an astrapolitical entity. Fighting broke loose when the Imperium seized a number of Republican worlds in the Outer Rim, provoking the latter to declare war on the Imperium.

## Background

### Relations between the Imperium and the New Republic

Ever since their first contact in the Corellian Skirmish, the Imperium and the Republic has maintained a hostile relationship with one another as they both saw each other as a menace to galactic peace. The Imperium view it as their duty to unite the galaxy under the banner of the Holy Mother and spread Her divine will—a prospect which the New Republic adamantly refused.

### The July Plot

In 7.254.M17 A.D., a group of human supremacists in Concordia Dawn revolted against the New Republic on the basis that their planet had been tainted by the dirty hands of the Xenos. Their leader, Gilbert Ferdinand, secretly organised a coup d'etat against the local planetary governor, which he executed on the 9th of July. Though his revolution failed, it was powerful enough to send a message to the Imperium that the human population that lived in the New Republic are not content with their Xenos overlords.
Mother of Mothers, Genetrix

The Mother of Mothers, also known as Anathema, is the founder of the Imperium of Andarra and the protector of mankind. Her powers are unmatched by any **psyker**. After the **Solar War**, Anathema mysteriously vanished without a trace, leaving behind a message stating that Ciaphas's son, Yarrick Franz, rule as the next emperor of the Imperium.

## Early Life

### Pre-Collapse

Not much is known about Anathema's past, other than the fact that she is older than any human alive. Her origins are rumoured to have hailed from the lush plains of Khazaria, but that is highly debatable.

She spent the majority of her life spectating humanity's progress. She was also known to have meditated in various locations, from Siberia to the Antarctic. As she saw humanity's progression into a spacefaring species, she developed a rigid moral code that she would later compile into the **Laws of Making**. She dabbled in a myriad of subjects, from biology to **aether magic**. However, for countless millennia, she simply observed humanity's rise to power, only intervening in the most dire of circumstances.

The discovery of the charon warp relay motivated Anathema to research deeper in the currents of the warp. During this period, she was rumoured to have been plagued with nightmares that saw glimpses of mankind slipping into an eternity of darkness and despair. Ultimately, her worst fears became a reality at the advent of the Great Collapse, when the warp relays mysteriously malfunctioned, rendering interstellar travel impossible.

Inquisition

The Inquisition, officially known as the Imperial Inquisition, is an Imperial adepta that plays an integral role in the Senatorum Imperialis. It operates independently from the rest of the Imperium, but the organisation still holds its fealty to the Emperor and the Mother of Mothers.

## Overview

> The Imperium is Her body, and we are Her shield against the dark tides of the Immaterium
>
>

The inquisition was first founded by the Holy Mother to monitor the day-to-day activities of the citizenry and root out any corruption, wherever it may appear. Its numbers are legion, and unlike the various other adepta that form the Imperial bureaucratic system, its operatives are allowed to operate freely; for in their eyes, the Holy Mother and her Chosen Emperors come first above the duties of the Adeptus Terra.

Time has changed the Inquisition. Where its halls were once filled with the unified cries of devotion for the Imperium and the Holy Mother, corruption and deceit run rampant with no signs of stopping. Its operatives are fanatics to the core—some tread on the fine line that leads to chaos. Nevertheless, most of its inquisitors maintain the same oath that the inquisitors of yore once swore to the Holy Mother.

In recent years, the Inquisition has seen a number of minor reforms. Steered by High Inquisitor Sivik Cobra, the Inquisition has returned to its roots whilst retaining some of the qualities that have proven to be effective against their secret war against the enemies of mankind.

## Hierarchy

The Inquisition is a massive organisation, but it cannot possibly function properly if everyone was equal. Only the Emperor and the High Inquisitor can promote an individual. When a High Inquisitor passes away, its rank is automatically assumed by the oldest Lord Inquisitor available in the Inquisition.

Great Crusade

The Great Crusade was a massive operation launched by the Mother of Mothers following the Imperium's rediscovery of warp technology. The crusade lasted for four hundred years and it saw the start and end of many smaller conflicts, like the Ullanor Crusade, the First indomintus Crusade, and the Concordia Crusade.

## History

### Background

The galaxy was plunged into darkness when the warp relays suddenly—and mysteriously—malfunctioned, preventing the ships of the Old Republic from traversing the great void. Trade ceased to exist, and countless planets fell into disarray as their populations rebelled against their masters. Humanity was among the many races affected by the Great Collapse. Until the 7th millennium, humanity had expanded rapidly across the galaxy, colonising world after world. Their homeworld, Terra, was revered as a centre of hub and culture; its skyscrapers grazing the very skin of space itself. Inevitably, when the Solar system was cut off from the rest of the galaxy, the planet fell into ruin. Those who did survive the cataclysmic riots succumbed to hunger as the planet had come to rely on interstellar trade to sustain its massive population. In just a century, the surface of Terra was an irradiated wasteland, its inhabitants mutated beyond comprehension.

However, beneath the rubble lay humanity's greatest hope. Deep within the mountain ranges of the Himalayas, Genetrix—the Mother of Mothers—emerged with an army of custodians. After millennia of conquest, Terra was finally under her rule, and thus she proclaimed the creation of the Imperium of Andarra. Following the conquest of Terra, Genetrix set forth her vast legions of thunder warriors to reclaim the solar system.

## Lyrics

Clean that evil mud out your soul.
Sweet heaven, save me from that candle.
Burned it up, it burned; it stank so strong
Of hell fire.

Heaven can only know what unholy sights and sounds
All we innocent babes has made in them dens.

All spawn of my own flesh and blood,
All spawn of my devils own strumpet,
Them olden days and them hard times,
And merciful heaven only knows
What unholy sights and sounds
All we innocent babes has made in them dens.

Weren’t you afeared, little lambs down there
In all that dark down there
In that deep place made all flesh; all blood
For those eyes of mine?
What a joy devine.

Providing it’s for free,
Let’s have a look at what paradise is like.

This is heaven all right, but there’s a
Man outside with a gun.
