Enclave Malexis//SUBJ/Geopolitical Summary of Sector Malexis

 

----FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY----

 

The sector is governed at Malchar Prime by the venerable Grand Steward-Governor, Lord Benedictus Crax. Laying on the border of Ultima Segmentum, the sector is defined by its relationship to the fringes of the galaxy. The cold trade thrives here, and the exploits of Rogue Traders seeking buried secrets and riches beyond the blighted Ghoul Stars fill countless volumes in the Librarium Primus on the sector's capitol planet, Malchar Prime. Malexis has a proud history as a key supporting province and staging area for the Malcharian Crusade. Dozens of agri-worlds feed the hives across the sector, as well as the fortress worlds of Malchar IV, Oraxis, Thisellia, Rictus, and Sortia.

 

The sector is subdivided into four subsectors.  The overall seat of power resides in the Malchan Subsector.  It is home to six shrine worlds, four pleasure planets, and several dozen feudal and feral worlds.  The sector capital and sub-sector capital reside in the same system, but on separate celestial bodies.  Malchar Prime bears the seat of the Grand Steward-Governor, Lord Benedictus Crax, as do the finest palace hives of all Malexis.

At some point in the forgotten past, the seven moons of Malchan Prime were made into a collection of vast administrative fortress complexes called The Rookery.

The Malexis Sector itself is broken up into four subsectors, each of which is governed by a single gubernatorial throne world that pays tithes to the sector capitol at Malchar Prime.  The subsectors and notable points of interest are as follows:

 

 

 

Notable Imperial Guard assets include but are not limited to The Rictus Expeditionary Corps, The Malchan Praetoriate, The Sortian 3rd (Shrieking Griffons), and the war frames of the venerable house Alphyn, leige lords of the Justitian system.

 

Astartes elements present in the system include the Angels Apocryphal, who bear the holy charge of maintaining the integrity of the Segmentum's borders from the greatest threats beyond the fringe and the Stone Wardens, who are tasked with defending the Malchan Subsector specifically, as it is the hub of Imperial governance across Malexis.  They are also charged with the defense of the fabled Blackrime Bastion. 

 

The Angels Apocryphal have most recently been engaged primarily in the Rivenblight subsector, where splinter fleets of Hive Jormungand have beset many of the worlds on the borders of imperial space.  The Hive Fleet Jormungand, crushed by elements of the Death Spectres, bled several splinter fleets into the sector before it was defeated.

 

Drukhari raiding is common, as are the stranger, more sanity breaking threats that encroach from the dreaded Ghoul Stars.

 

Feral greenskins persist on a number of worlds within the sector, however large scale WAAAGHs remain below the Imperial average.  

 

Heretic elements active in the sector include an unnamed Word Bearers detachment led by the Arch Abomination Orbus the Resplendent and most recently, unknown elements of the Thousand Sons led by the arcane heirophant Pho'tek Katar.
