### System

Tamay Cluster

**Nulenus** is an Imperial Death World and home to the Nulenus Ravagers. Previously a highly productive Industrial World, Nulenus fell into a millennium-long civil war during the Age of Strife. Unrestricted usage of chemical and biological weaponry destroyed the surface of Nulenus, forcing those that survived deep underground.

Much of the population of Nulenus now survives in societies centered around giant tunnel boring machines that had originally been used to extract the planet's valuable mineral resources. These nomadic, tunneling cities (called Göçebe in Nulenus native tongue) are forced to move constantly to escape predation by the mega-fauna that exist in the Hollow, the underground cavern networks discovered after the civil war.

Nulenus was rediscovered by the Alpha Legion Gamma Harrow during the Great Crusade. The Harrow assisted in restoring a sense of semi-unified normalcy on Nulenus and in return, Ravager War Parties began serving in allied formations in future campaigns.

Though limited in number, Ravagers became well-known for their ferocity in battle—a reputation which they maintain.

## Factions of Nulenus

Due to the lack of a centralized government, much of Nulenus is ruled by various Houses and Clans that are the most powerful in their corresponding drill-cities. Conflict between these factions is possible, albeit uncommon, as their need to work together is required for survival. During the Great Crusade, the Ravagers formed large war parties that consisted of a conglomeration of the Houses and Clans of the planet with each contributing a specific aspect to the war party that made it an effective combined arms military force.

### House Heyrettin

House Heyrettin is considered by many to be the most powerful of the Nulenus' factions. Many of its member show latent psychic abilities, but nothing powerful enough to make them full-fledged psykers. Their psychic attumentment, however, does allow those of House Heyrettin to commune with some of the natural fauna of the planet. During the Age of Strife, after many generations, other factions of Nulenus saw religious significance in House Heyrettin's ability to tame Tucupines to raise their cavalry. When Ravager war parties began fighting with the Imperium during the Great Crusade, House Heyrettin warseer's commanded them.

### House Aktuna

The Göçebe of House Aktuna are the most populous on Nulenus and they exist as a client-state to the Göçebe of House Heyrettin. During the Nulenus' civil war and many of its conflicts, House Heyrettin subjugated House Aktuna and they have been a critical part of the Heyrettin military ever since. Due to their large size, much of the regular infantry in a Ravager war party consists of members of House Aktuna and they can be easily identified by their red and black colors.

### House Zarakolu

Ravagers of House Zarakolu are renowned hunters and marksmen. Capable of tracking down all forms of prey and taking them down from a great distance has made them a valuable component to Ravager war parties. A distance and somewhat aloof peoples, House Zarakolu is best characterized by their intricately design las-jezails and the blue and white robes that define their hunters.

### House Ozhan

House Ozhan are the mysterious tech-wizards of Nulenus and the smallest of its main known factions. Despite their small size, though, they hold considerable power, second only to House Heyrettin, due to their unrivaled skill with machinery. Members of House Ozhan live in every Göçebe, as they are the only ones with the knowledge of maintaining and repairing the massive boring machines upon which all of Nulenus survives. The House Ozhan Göçebe is also the only machine with facilities to properly build and construction machines of war, Ozhan's primary contribution to war parties.
