Home World Dilemma

[celes]

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me out of my fluff rut. I'm trying to draft together the beginnings of an IA for my DIY chapter, but I can't figure out where in the galaxy to place their home world, nor can I seem to come up with a name for it. Here's some of the background I've come up with so far:

 

- My chapter's name is the Ascendant Suns, they were created in the 26th Founding.

- They have close ties to the Adeptus Mechanicus and use slightly newer/more advanced tech than other chapters.

- They maintain 2 scout companies and specialise in reconaissance/information warfare in combination with surgical mechanised/airborne deployment.

- Most of my characters are named after stars, constellations or astronomers.

 

I'd like to put them somewhere that has a strong concentration of technologically advanced worlds, lost forge worlds etc., or near enemies that are technologically advanced such as the Tau, Necrons, Eldar or even some of the races that haven't been so fleshed out in the fluff or get passing mentions in a codex somewhere. The trouble is, there aren't any galaxy maps that can display all of the information that every player will want, and I'm not even sure anyone's really set out a lot of the info I want anyway. I'm just after a rough area or even just a sector to place them in for now, then I can fill in the blanks as required.

 

Help please?

For future DIY posts, put them in the Liber Astartes.

 

There are star maps but most named planets are off limits as they have preordained fluff with them, just make up a planet and say its in a particular sector (Segmentum, Obscuras) and is in proximity to this alien race etc.

Anywhere on the Eastern Fringe would work for advanced alien races. You've got Tau, a few Eldar Craftworlds, most likely there are a few Necron tomb worlds so pick a spot or make up a system in an empty area.

 

Here's a really good map. Someone has made an update to that map here in the Liber and added in loads of other DIY Chapters so I'll have a root around and find that for you.
