Cthoniac-kampagnen er den overordnede betegnelse for en serie af konflikter, der opstod i Cthoniac-systemet omkring 140 jord-år efter Citrix Maledictum i det 41. årtusinde.det dækker over en serie af større og mindre slag mellem styrker fra imperiet, kaos og flere aeldari flåder.

Kombatanter

Adskillige uafhængige styrker var involveret i konflikten. Selvom deres motiver ikke altid stemte overens, giver det dog mening at dele dem op i tre, mere eller mindre allierede fraktioner:

Imperiets styrker

Order of the Cardinal Mistress
Blodenglenes femte kompagni
Nissens rogue trader

Kaos-tilbederne

Peters nurgle
Kris’ khorne
Nixons kaos

Aeldari

Lasses Whisper of Anaris
Lars’ Lugganath
Jakobs Sam-Hain

Logos Superior,

I have gone over the reported sightings of a constellation of planets orbiting the star known as Cthoniac in detail. From three different sources, we now have a somewhat detailed understanding of the system.

The system appears to have been obscured by a perpetual warp storm for at least 73 Terran years. Only with the emergence of the Great Rift has the previous warp storm receded. Our reports of the system comes from traders and Imperial envoys operating in the region.

Cthoniac itself is a class K orange dwarf star, with expected lifespan still amounting to billions of years. There are five planets in total orbiting the star.

The first is within terminal distance of the star and is reported to be barren, lifeless and uninhabitable by any known lifeforms.

The second, Hive World Cthoniac Secundus, was mentioned in the annual reports of a group of explorers of the Adeptus Mechanicus in 73.2 previo VCM.M41, and appears to have been inhabited then by an estimated 42 billion people across at least five hives.

The third, Cthoniac Tertius, is a very small mineral-rich planet, apparently functioning as a mining outpost delivering raw materials for the factories of Secundus in the time before the warp storm arrived and isolated the system.

The fourth and fifth planet are gas giants, and although some evidence of gas-mining operations exist, according to our intel these operations have ceased long ago.

Cthoniac Secundus: Anden planet fra systemets stjerne og hovedplanet for systemet. Tue-verden med flere større tuer og store ubeboede områder. Planeten har to måner, en stor ved navn Stigia og en mindre ved navn Jaculus.
