Leman Sector

picture of the Leman Sector`s Banner with additional Servoheads holding it up

In the vast region of imperial space called Segmentum Tempestus lays the renown Leman Sector, named after Leman Russ, Primarch of the sixth legion the Space Wolves, the one who brought the sector into compliance. The worlds of this wealthy region of space have produced many heroes, regiments of valour and works of art. Among the legions of defenders, nearly every fighting force of the Imperium can be found. Space Marines, Titan Legions, Order Militants of the Adepta Sororita, Imperial Guard Regiments, Imperial Knights and more have sworn to protect the sector.

As an ancient sector, is the Leman Sectors since millennia a major centre of production, commerce and faith. Manufactorien have produced needed war material for thousands of years, while the academies of the Schola Progenium produced new Adepts, Commissars, Naval Officers and many more important officials. Adepts in the Administratum Hives of Naxos Prime keeping the bureaucracy of the neighbouring sectors running, while the bank clerks on Septon Prime manage the massive flows of money running through the world's banks and the lowly Ministorum worker maintaining the armouries on Frankia, each of them fulfilling valuable tasks. All of this is done to keep the Imperium running in this trying times.

The sector is itself is separated into five subsectors and borders the Pearl Zone, a region outside imperial control with the only few entrances being heavily guarded.

## History

### Pre-Imperial Time

Not much is known about the history of the Sector before the Imperium. Most data come from archaeological and geological surveys. The earliest known event was the supernova of a star (now known as black hole BH630233) 42 million years before the Imperium. Eldar archives tell off events happening during the War in the Heaven and local civil wars 21 million years before Humanity left its planet and began its journey into the galaxy.

First Human settlers arrived in the Sector and the surrounding areas in M14 after thousands of years in generation ships or sleeper ships. Local Knight Houses sprung up on many worlds but the millennia brought most of them down. A golden era for the Leman Sector was the Dark Age of Technology when Humanity was at its zenith and living like gods. But then came the Rebellion of the Men of Iron and the Age of Strife, destroying most of the wonders and achievements made during this time. Few worlds were left standing, like Frankia but shattered beyond its past.

### Great Crusade

The once-young Imperium of Man brought back the light to the Leman Sector early in the Great Crusade. Leman Russ, the Primarch of the Sixth Legion - the Space Wolves - personally was the torchbearer, bringing back hope and prosperity. One of the first worlds contacted was Frankia where the smallest nation-state named Bascou was at the forefront of the integration process. Most of the worlds still inhabited had been peacefully brought back, while others needed some convincing or outright violence. As the last threat to the Sector was annihilated by the Vlka Fenryka arrived the agents of the Adeptus Terra and members of the Order Elucidatum, the secret police of Malcador the Sigilite, consolidating the newly formed sector. Old beliefs were eradicated and replaced by the Imperial Truth, ancient technology studied, new technologies and techniques long-lost to the worlds brought back, and massive infrastructure projects were started to improve the sector's industrial base. With the new economical boom and trade between planets, who had been isolated for millennia exploded the population on the planets further increasing the industrialization, rebuilding efforts and the colonization.

When called to serve in the ever expanding Great Crusade, millions followed. Thousands of regiments were raised and hundreds of vessels, military, civilian and logistical built. Psykers were dutifully surrendered to the Black Ships and the Tithes paid. With the patriotism for the Imperium and the Emperor arose not only a spirit of diligence but also something precarious. Faith. In the atheistic Imperium, faith was outlawed and yet still people found a new religion, a new god. Of all things, the Emperor the man who forbid any religious practices excepting the Mechanicum became for some a god. The nascent Imperial Cult stated slowly to gain some influence among the population, not enough to be noteworthy for the mass but enough for the agents of the Order Elucidatum. Suppression operation were started, but the museums of the Leman Sector display in the M42 proudly the artefacts of the Imperial Cult dating back to the Great Crusade.

### Horus Heresy

Peace did not last. In the year 005.M31 came it to the disaster which marks never left the Imperium. The Horus Heresy.
The Leman Sector was spared from the worst of the Heresy, only seeing some cult rebellions and one closing in Emperor's Children and Alpha Legion fleet, which was destroyed by a task force of Space Wolves and Imperial Armada forces including vessels from the sector. More important was the mobilization of soldiers and resources for the war efforts. Regiments were raised in such a short of time that they rivalled the number of regiments raised during the Great Crusade. Forced relocation of population became a common practise to fill the manufactories, and laws regarding the creation of servitors were loosened to satisfy the demand for them and the rising number of arrested rebels.

### Age of the Imperium

Escaping mostly unharmed from the Leman Sector, had the sector good starting conditions. Where entire sectors had been devastated, had the sectors survived. No Agri World had been burned, meaning the hive cities of the planets had enough food to eat. Only a few mining stations and outposts had been attacked by pirates, which meant the manufactories had enough resources to operate. The fuel stations may have been strained during the conflict, but they produced enough to fuel the civilian fleets and the navy patrols. Only a few punishment actions against disloyal subjects were dealt out by the victorious

Thankfully, saw the aftermath of the Horus Heresy no immediate disasters and the sectors' industry profited from the galactic rebuilding effort, increasing the overall wealth of the sector. This should not last. In M32 erupted a second disaster, threatening the Imperium as a whole. The War of the Beast. As massive Ork fleets ravaged their ways through the Imperium, one found itself over Kardake Prime, the greatest Fortress World of the sector. In a wave of pure savagery landed, the Xenos and laid waste to the warrior caste of the planet. The beleaguered defenders were finally saved after a one-year-long siege and the demographical loss of the warrior cast by Space Marines.

Kardake Prime might have heavily suffered, but with the other systems of the Leman Sector evading any attacks, was the sector's early golden age not prematurely ended. Contrariwise, the war played a role in the Lemanian Golden Age. Historians have studied for generations the relationships between the two great wars and the golden age, and the results in how far the rebuilding efforts influenced the age is still not answered satisfactorily. What is know was that massive terraforming programs created new habitable worlds, like Septon Prime in M34, or made planets more habitable. Many Hive Cities have been built or greatly extended to house the rising population, and new infrastructure and factories were built. Reforms of the laws allowed change in ways never thought possibly, while a reformed Sector Government managed to increase Its and the Imperiums influence on the planet. The Hochmeister Chapter was founded during this time, and construction in M34 begun to make the Forge World of Guria into a massive shipyard. Military campaigns against the Dark Eldar Kabals further increased the security of the Sector. The Ecclesiarchy during this founded many of the ancient monasteries and financed the construction of the most magnificent cathedrals while many of the regiments from the sector were raised for the first time during this period.

But alas, the Lemanian Golden Age came finally to an end in M36. Historians have identified many reasons for this. The loss of several technologies, power games between Planetary Governors and the Sector Command, new taxes levied by the Ecclesiarchy to finance its move back to Holy Terra, resource depletion on the Mining World Becks Well and the increased influence of the Ecclesiarchy in the sector. The Brides of the Emperor operated during this time in the sector and were promised the Cemetery World Mortem as a base for operation, something what was implemented only one millennium later. Frateris Templar from Prixan were often called to enforce the will of Vandir.

Improvement came with the end of the Age of Apostasy, when the Ecclesiarchy lost its dominating power in the Imperium and the dissolution of the ravaging mobs of the Frateris Templar. Some reforms were made and Adepta Sororita Orders joined the defenders of the Leman Sector, but the sector failed to connect to its once golden past,

### A new Millennium

The passage from one millennium to the other was a galaxy width disaster. The Great Rift tore the galaxy in two pieces and the Astronomicon`s light did not even cover Imperium Sanctum and astrophatic communication was barely possibly. During such dark times reigned panic in the sector, only calmed by force and the presence of the Sisters of Battle and the Space Marines. Finally, on the one hundred day, the light of the Astronomicon reached the Sector and news of a miracle was pronounced, the return of Primarch Roboute Guilliman. A wave of enthusiasm swept through the Imperium, and his reforms changed many things to the better. New warriors, the Primaris Marines, joined the established Chapters and the industrial complexes soon started to produce new war material for the Indomitus Crusade. On each world marshal new regiments of the Astra Militarum, new vessels are constructed on the shipyards to replace the incoming losses, veterans of many conflicts can now be found on many worlds training the new recruits alongside the refugees settled on in the sector and sections of Hive Cities long abandoned are again inhabited. With new Tyranid fleets appearing in the Segmentum have those numbers only risen and fortifications on planets and in the void have been begun to be constructed for the case that the Great Devourer may come for the worlds of the Leman Sector.

It is said that the Leman Sector prospers and is lucky in times of galactic crisis, but only the Emperor on his throne can know if this will stay true or the ravages of the new 42nd Millennium may swallow another sector.

## Notable Astronomy

* **Pearl Zone:** (partly). The Pearl Zone is an area surrounded by 19 White Holes, Black Holes who collapsed. It is a home for many pirates organized into a loose pirate confederation. Xeno groups like Eldar Corsairs and Ork Freebooterz have also settled down there. Common raid targets are the trade routs near the Peal Zone but sometimes. The Imperial Navy Fortress World of Saamod located in the entrece to the zone forms the first defencive line against raids from the pirates and prevents in this way most damage for the trade in the Sector.
* **Hepai Prime:** Hepai Prime, the main Mining World of the Sector, is to 83% made up by metalls. Imperial Scholars are clueless how such planet could have formed itself, and a theory claims that Hepai Prime was artificial created or at least manipulated into its modern composition.
* **Celok 239:** An asteroid serving as a pirate den for the low-life in the Leman Sector. Pirates, Mercenaries, Criminals, Renegades and Xenos meet at this location in its construction and make buisness with each other. A width range of illegal goods can be found there.

## Space Stations

* **Habitat H34:** One of the many space stations in the Leman Sector is the Habitat H34, a station specialized in the production of fuel and secondarly in star fighters. H34 is ruled by a Mega-Cooperation which used to have an very tight influence on the lives of its population. Such policy resulted in a criminal uprising in 354.M37 which overtook the Habitat and ruled it for six years until the Hochmeister Chapter recaptured the station.
* **Regal Space Station:** The Regal Space Station, located in the Madator Subsector is a space station built to function as a logistical hub for the local Battlefleet and vessels travelling though the sector. An aerotech tower allows Astrophats in a range of 10 light years to use the station as a navigation point. Hydrocultures and factories on the station supply docking vessels to refill their fuel tanks and food storages or repair some damage. Crew members meanwhile can visit the stations laisure quartier.
* **Kasacà Space Station:** A mobile Imperial Navy repair and port station and the docking place for the Golden Hand Battlebarge the home for the Blood Guard Space Marine Chapter. Kasacà is also the home for many families of Imperial Navy members.
* **Tradestation Gammitus:** One of the many Space Station constructed for trade. Known for the place were the peace treaty was signed, which ended the Ambalosa War, a conflict between Rogue Trader Houses.
* **Prison Station D-37:** D-37 is one of the many prison stations in the Segmentum which holds captured pirates or voidsmen caught in criminal acts. Most prisoners are later sent to mining stations for years as a kind of punishment. Secret airlocks allow in the case of prison riots the fast execution of the rioters.
* **Shrine and Hospital Station Saint Nightingtal:** This Station serves as a beacon for the injured, ill and the faithful honouring local saints from all-over the galaxy. Massive medical wings can house 60.000 patients without problems and can still be used as a quarantine zone for the sick ones. Local facilities train mediciners and Sisters Hospitalers for the surrounding Subsectors, while entire levels were given over to shrines for local saints from the entire galaxy.

## Sector Governance and Culture

### Politics

Scypio Valerian is since 999.M41 the officiated Sector Governor, elected by the Sectorial Collegio, the parliament of the Leman Sector. The Senatorial Collegio with its 205 senators, sometimes also called delegates internally, and the Sector Command, the executive council, form the government body of the Leman Sector. Operating from Hive Highseat on Septon Prime and further elements in the Administratum spires on Naxos Prime, has the sector government ruled the Leman Sector since its founding during the Great Crusade.

The Sectorial Collegio serves to represent the planets and the various power groups in the Leman Sector, with its senators forming the many committees inside the sector administration. Commitees can change sometimes drastically in the affiliation of its members but ancient treaties have ensured that most of those have a minimum of seats guaranteed to one or more factions. Senators are faction-bound when voteing about the laws proposed by the Sector Governor. In contrast to popular assumption, are the senators no independent actors, rarely voting against the will of the faction leadership. More important is the Collegios role to fill the committees, represent their homeworlds and serve as power indicator of their faction. The more senators a faction has in the Sectorial Collegio the more seats in the various offices are filled by people willing to follow the faction's ideals. Electoral Changes, the term for the replacement of senators by their homeworlds or by other means. How a senator can become a member of the Sectorial Collegio depends on his homeworld or the sponsoring organisation.

The Sector Command is the executive body of the Leman Sector, filled by the highest representatives of the power groups in the Leman Sector, who are also the leaders of their institutions inside the sector as well as if applicable the leaders of their factions. The Sector Governor functions here also as a mediator between the institutions and factions, and the maker of final decisions.

The Sector Command is structured in 095.M42 in the following way:

 Adeptus Ministorum
 Adeptus Mechanicus
 Adeptus Arbites
 Adeptus Astra Telepatica
 Adeptus Munitorum
 Astra Militarum
 Navis Imperialis
 Inquisition
 Merchant Navy

The following Factions exist momentarily in the Sectorial College of the Leman Sector:

* **Principes Faction:** The conservative faction with strong ties to most Adeptus Administratum Adeptas and the Ecclesiarchy. Owns 2.035 seats.
* **Laristen:** Laristen are the faction which follows the philosophy that the Sector government should help the common people more often. Owns 1.065 seats
* **Vaum Party:** A party supported by Rogue Traders and Merchant Captains. Vaum Party demand less trade restrictions. Owns 503 seats.
* **Elitist Faction:** Most members of this party are aristocrates. Owns, 397 seats
* **Pretorian Party:** The most militarized party. Owns 672 seats
* **unaffililated electors:** 328 electors who aren`t member of any faction.

The political power struggle between the Administratum and the Ecclesiarchy, which is traditionally shifted towards the Administratum with 2.709 electors being counted to the Administen while the Ecclesiarchy has only 2.101 electors behind it. 190 electors are counted to the Neutralist, who don`t position themself towards one group, hampering themself this way but can also find themself becausde of their neutrality in important positions if the both groups can`t endforce their candidads.

### Currency

Each planet, which is not a Primitive or just Feudal world has a currency. Coins can have the form of squares, circles or even be triangular, while paper money is mostly rectengular, although square version exist. As Sector currency is the Throne and is accepted on each civiliced world. Controlled and regulated banks regulate the money flow.

## Power Groups

### Imperium

#### Ecclesiarchy

The Ecclesiarchie is a major player in the politic of the Leman Sector and rules several worlds. Influcene comes from the churches soft power, missionary work, social work and ownership of buisnesses, and hard power in the form of the Adepta Sororitas and Death Cults like the Yellow Turbans, who are more a militia and auxiliary force for Adepta Sororitas and Inquisitors than a regular Death Cult.

#### Imperial Adepta

The most influential Adepta is the Adeptus Administratum thanks to Naxos Prime and the Tempestors. Ammong the divisions are the Departmento Processium (processing paperwork), Estate Imperium (record keeping) and the Departmenta Exacta (Tithes) are the biggest and most influential. The later can also count on the cooperation with the Tempestors Space Marine Chapter. Another influential Adepta is the Adeptus Fidicius responsible for the controll of financial matters.

The second most influential Adepta is the Adeptus Ministorum, the Ecclesiarchy, can count on the faitful and the Adepta Sororitas. Additionally can the Ministorum count on its fast network of social facilities and programms, not to forget the ones cooperating with them. During the Age of Apostacy was the Ministorum also the most influential Adepta in the Sector.

#### Inquisition

The Inquisition has a strong presence on several worlds like Sankt Gallen and operated from the Inquisitorial Fortressworld Vespet Bastion. A network Accolytes has infiltrated the most important power groups and this way keep the Sector loyal. Several smaller Ordos like Ordo Babarus (monitoring pre-industrial worlds) or Ordo Astra (overseeing and studying of stellar cartography) have a relativly strong presence in the Leman Sector, operating from Vespet Bastion.

### Adeptus Arbites

The Adeptus Arbites are the Imperiums version of a federal police force, being better trained and better equipped than local Enforcers and hold much more power than their planetary counterparts. Arbites are Terras "soft" power which keeps even Planetary Governeurs in check and can support the local Navy forces in anti-piracy operations through their small fleet of Arbites Strike Cruisers. Leman Sectors Arbites operations like the mentioned anti-piracy operations, riot fighting and mondane tasks like training new recruits are done on Septon Prime in the Arbites fortress named Fortress of Order.

### Renegades

* **Yellow Hand Syndicate:** The Yellow Hand Syndicate comes from the world of Frankia and has spread itself in the entire Sector. Most gangs belonging to the Syndicate are vasallized Hive Gangs who do the dirty work, while criminal enterprises do the more complex jobs. Unlike other gangs or crime organisations can the Yellow Hand gangsters rely on the use of Lasguns giving them an edge in combat situations.
* **Pirate Confederation of Madaska:** The Pearl Zone is home to many pirate groups and the biggest pirate group is the Pirate Confederation of Madaska lead by Felicia Navadores. Operating from the world of Madaska, the only settled world in the Pearl Zone, are they a threat to local shipping, although only a smaller threat for the Leman Sector thanks to a local Naval Fortress protecting the local entrance to the Pearl Zone.

* **Clan Habik:** Clan Habik is one of the few Skaven Clans existing in the Galaxy and claims an uninhabited system for themself. Fortunally for the Sector use their raiding and mining fleets an abandoned Webgate for their operations which let them far away from the Sector.
