General Gholf is futhermore a soldiers soldier. in the armageddon style game we played to similate the military assault on teh ork city, his counter was one of the more succesfull of the game. While other troop units got wiped out he drove deep into the ork city. He's a can do go and quite franfly not ploitical at a;;. He is not a general staff creature. He has a sizable military behind him and is not afraid to use it. The only thing we have not descerned is what is actaul ambitions are once all this has finished.

Hmmm... I think I start to get confused about this mining-world thing.

The "groups", as far as I realized, is ...

"The people" (Maron Krest) whose aims are a stop to this zombification (getting rid of Dr. Zamato) and to get independt (get rid of the rule of the Dictator-in-Exile).
"The Regime" (Dictator-in-Exile/Dr.Zamato) who will try to keep their position as ruler (Dictator-in-Exile) and not to allow the colony to get any independency.
"The Military" (General Gholf) is mainly caring about themselves and "public safety & order". Of course, this means keeping their actual power and perhaps the "status quo". And they try to quarantine the mining colony. And this is "first concern".

And their is no link between "the Military" and "the Dictator-in-exile"? This so called "Dictator" seems to be a toothless tiger. Why has "the military" not removed him to put an end to this zombie-thing going on and quarantined the world themselves?

A yes I see the source of the confusion. The dictator in Exile is more of a name (we couldnt come up with anything better) and a symbol of his circumstance. There is another planet in this tiny warp empire, an ocean world where the supreme leader of this warp Empire lives in a fortified underwater palace. So far he has been only alluded to and is a rather distant figure. Along with the Church patriarch he was one of the powers who did not see eye to eye with the imperium arriving. His 'exile' is a rather symbolic, a division of power where as the supreme leader he doesnt get to live on the main planet of Madidae Cavus.His source of power is not military, but rather of influence. The civil service answer to him and only. By the civil service I dont mean mere pen-pushers but a literal caste of technocrats who stand apart from society who have resources of their own (see the background I wrote) As for the link between the military and the dictator in exile there is only in so much as like the Munitorium the military needs the Civil service to maintain operational. Im not sure the military actually dislike the dictator, more that the political situation has changed with the arrival of the Imperium and that they believe that he is being stubborn. If he just came on the same message they would probably wouldn't mind him becoming governor to keep the status quo (but the dynasty already has someone else lined up....)

I think that where we were going with the campaign is that by the time they reach the Dictator in Exile on the ocean world the PC's should already have figured out that something is definetly rotten at the top and not just a stubborn dictator. Im not sure where I'm going with all this. There are a couple of other planets around this tiny human collection of systems that that have secrets/suggestions I could tie into the whole campaign.

MFST 12: Red Lacromorph home world. Silent world of hive/warrens. Nothing has been heard from this world for hundreds of years. The xeno bogeymen of Madidae Cavus. I randonly generated the creature using the Xeno Generator from the Dark Heresys GM toolkit. I came up with a "Bipedal, Averaged sized,Warlike,natural weapons" xeno creature which when using a the daemon generator table from "lost and the damned" for a base creature it came up with a rabbit. Thats right. The feared xeno form is a redfurred tursked rabbit-like xeno warrior.Toting a meltagun like weapon. Some other planets have automated militray hardware left behind by the xenos during the last war which have to be cleared our. Of the actuall xenos nothing has been heard...yet.
