This is just going to be a little dump thread of new updates as I launch another campaign following the exploits of my last, in the Dread Mandragora Sector. Greatly perished by this point in history.
Campaign Introduction Narration
It is the year 442.M39. The Mandragora Sector has fallen to the darkness and depredations in the five decades following the fall of the sector fleet. In light of the crippled state of the sector, the Inquisition of the Ordos Mandragora have fallen back to Phaenon Prime, to reconstitute their center of power and military assets as they prepare for their own, clandestine crusade to reclaim the sector.
Inquisitor Gerin is one such man. He has traveled far and wide across the remains of the perished Mandragora region, searching for the answer to the sector's Salvation. After decades of research, contending with the threat of heresy blossoming across the sector, he has discovered the location of the Pillar of Penitence; Once a might flagship to the Mandragora Black Fleet, the Pillar holds within it many secret weapons of the Inquisition and dread chaos artifacts that could be used to turn the tide against the Xenos, the Heretic, and the Malleus. Long lost to the warp rifts of the Discordian Wells, a passage in the warp has opened for the first time in decades.
In his haste to procure passage to the Void-Yard of Mandragora, he has absconded with six of his acolytes to investigate the remains of the hulked warship. It has taken him many tireless months, racing against time to arrive at the Void Yards before the calming swell closes. Thus, the acolytes find themselves absconded from across the Mandragora Sector aboard the Spirit of Saint Elnar, a modest and humble Fueler Transport, to unveil the secrets held beyond the shattered hull of the Pillar.
Setting
New Mandragora Sector, 430.M39
The Void-Yards of Mandragora exist in the Sea of Cindars (former sub sector region)
The Sea of Cinders
The Sea of Cinders was always a perilous region of space long before the warp rifts opened in Mandragora. Hundreds of celestial stars, bursting with solar flares across the region made the region nigh inhospitable to human life. Gaseous bodies that drift in the region constantly setting aflame have caused many wayward ships to have been destroyed or crippled in the past.
As soon as the Spirit of Saint Elnar emerges from the warp, the void shields of the ship react immediately, protecting the crew from the constant bombardment of the deadly solar flares and radiation that seep throughout the region.
