to start things off we need a 12d100 to find out what forces we have present on the Agri-moon

Rolled 9, 40, 18, 66, 2, 84, 68, 95, 55, 46, 6, 90 = 579 (12d100)

>Standing Army: 50% / 1d10 / 2d10
>Defence Lasers: 15% / 1d10 / 1d10
the 2 you rolled, if it had been a 1 then this agri would would have had titans on it as well.

So we don't have any
Armoured Force
Titan Force
Private Armies
Naval Force
Orbital Station(s)
Missile Silos (planet)
Missile Silos (orbital)
Mercenary Force: 30%
Which, due to only being a moon and having such a large navy on Vei, I think is fitting
I need the above rolls, please. If we can get separate rolls for each of them it keeps it simple

Rolled 5, 3 = 8 (2d10)

We were so close to Tractor Titans

>>89984684

Well, as this moon doesn't have any full time workers, I suppose you don't need to police Servitors.
Need a 2d10 for the Militia next

The OP of thread 2/3 said he was working on some notes to set it up on 1d4chan, I only took over as we were nearing the bump limit. A kind anon saved the last 3 threads on suptg though, we can build from there

>>89985013
The population can also be seem 52 since, the lowest result in table was asking for a 10d10 and that's what we got.

>>89985046
That reminds me to archive this one as well.

Couldn't have rolled it better, exactly what they needed
>>89983960
>The most common foodstuff for the average imperial citizen in the Vei system is the Veivian Banana. Grown in huge agri domes on Al-Vivus this fruit is hardy, flavorless but can grow even in nutrient poor soil and grows from a seed to a ripe fruit in a matter of weeks; perfect for industrial scale farming.
The fruit itself is similar in size to the ancient Terran banana, but instead of the vibrant yellow it has a dark purple exterior, that borders on brown when ripe. The flesh of the fruit is tough with a similar texture to ground up grox meat, but is very filling.
The fruit is harvested and processed on the Agri-Moon, being turned into everything from nutrient paste, canned, dried, or even shipped out raw in large stasis containers to be served to the more affluent members of regular imperial citizenry.
I like it anon

After these next 2 rolls (3d10 for Standing Army, and 2d10 for Defence Lasers) We'll have finished rolling this Agri-moon. We can either roll up
>>89976533
a Skitarii army to go with our forge world as this anon suggested
Or move on to the Mining-moon around Vei-6 in picrel

Rolled 4, 1, 7 = 12 (3d10)

>>89985196
Let's see how many and how well the servitors are armed.

Rolled 2, 5 = 7 (2d10)

>>89985196
Defense lasers

I think next we roll the mining world, and then we do the skitarii.
That's because they might be stationed on the three moons, so it might help flesh them out.

>>89985382
>Standing Army: The normal full time, fully trained warriors of the planet. Usually known as the Planetary Defence Force (PDF).
>Size: Small
>Quality: Poor/Medium
>>89985411
>Defence Lasers: Huge laser batteries that can fire on orbiting ships.
>Size: Tiny
>Quality: Poor/Medium
So, about what we would expect for a moon that only has 52 full time inhabitants, most of them being administration staff I expect, and a handful of "standing army", probably a single squad.

>>89985437
For the Mining-Moon, the Planet Class is obviously:
>Mining World: Metal and mineral-rich planets, covered in city-sized mines and refineries, producing a fuckton of raw materials for the local Forge world, possibly extracting plasma (for direct use or as a fusion catalyst for nuclear transmutation to needed materials) from the stars or rare gases from the Gas Giant they orbit as well. Often the retirement home and final resting place for criminals and 'criminals' alike.
We need a 4d10+15 for the tech level

Rolled 2, 4, 6, 6 + 15 = 33 (4d10 + 15)

I'd hope so, as 99% of the workforce are augmented.
God I wish we had those Titan Tractors

We still need

2d10 for Ministorum
1d5 for Inquisition
the table for the next part, Axial Tilt, is on the planet generator on 1d4chan if someone wants to take over rolls (or the original OP from thread 2/3 comes back) then feel free
I'll be back in the morning

>>89984684
Given that we seem to have a flat out Titan Legio based in system, I'd be willing to just handwave it.
Then again, being that the mainstay engine seems to be the Imperator, it could be that they tried, only to discover they were too destructive for use.

Now the next roll would be size, not axial tilt.

>>89985570
I'll re-use the result of this one since it was the intended one, but it seems the table being read was size of star instead.

Kohlanon here. DND ran late. Thank you for making part four!

>>89985522
We can have one of the derelict ships in the spaceship graveyard be the ship that was carrying a Titan to help the Agri-world. Gives a hook for plenty of the RPG games. Only War and Deathwatch can be fighting on the ship. Rogue Traders can be trying to tow the ship to its destination--or have an off the books Titan join their retinue. Dark Heresy could have an Interrogator and their team attempting to find out where the ship drifted off to, to begin with.

We're going to get you those tractors, anon.

is just a straight x10, not a rolled 10d10
Also I think the numbers got a bit fucked up as I can't make heads or tails of it, I think the local days per year is 669. We can come back to that though.

Next is a 1d100 for the gravity of this moon

as a side note, I noticed theres a much more in depth forge world creator that we can use to give our forge moon some fluff, then we can roll up a skitarii legion, we should get a lot of back story for the system out of it
1d100 for Atmosphere

>>89988921
>>89988944

>>89989124
Length of Years per Terran day seem to be ok as well.
An year in this moon is 640 terran days or around 1,75 terran years, an din local days an year is around 465,5 days

We would probably need to check if it matches the one of gas giant later, as it would be weird if the moon had a different one.

11-20 Parched: This world Has some water but it is hard to locate and make use of. Perhaps all of the planet’s moisture is vapour in the air which must be farmed, or held in reservoirs deep underground and must be mined.

So +51°c/+100°c ±10°c, It's pretty hot here, but we're used to that in the Vei system.
Now on to how many features make up this moon
1d100 for Terrain

Rolled 75 (1d100)

>>89990922
The local religion must have a bunch of texts trying to explain why the Lightning Lord let everything be so hot.
Except the single cold world, but that one is on the xeno side of the border.

>>89990955
You're on to something there anon I hadn't even noticed that until now. We've still got 2 xenos moons to roll, but most of the table (all the Imperium specific stuff) won't be able to be used, so we'll have to come up with xenos fluff. We'll get to that in time. I'm sure He has a plan.
>Number of Terrains:(75) 4 Terrain types

This place is a luxury getaway for those chosen few on Veire, who rather than sweating in the tunnels of Veire, can sweat a little bit less here.
Now this place may seem like a paradise in comparison to most places in the system.. but how is the moon ruled?
1d100 for Society type

>>89991245
It adds a lot of flavor, how could we not lean on it?
Besides, it was the first bit of substantial writefaggotry we had on these threads, so it deserved a special place on Vei.

>>89991160
Give how dominant the ecclesiarchy is in the system, maybe Veire has a shrine to a saint?
It also would give us an excuse to roll up a sister order.

>>89991382
Honestly I'm surprised we didn't roll up a Shrine world, Veire is sort of a bastardised version of a Hive/Fortress world, and the Ministorum presence being the biggest on Veire, it probably is partly Shrine world too. Place is an absolute mess, but I like your idea. Once we've revisited the Forge-Moon with the Adeptus Mechanicus Forge World table (that I didn't know existed until we moved on) and rolled up a skitarii legion, we can roll up a sisters of battle order to give praise the Lightning Lord.

Rolled 24 (1d100)

>>89991522
18-26 Hereditary Dictator: The role of dictator is hereditary on this planet. When one person retires, a designated successor, usually a close relative, inherits their position. The successor holds absolute power over the law and their people upon coming of age. This transition is not always peaceful, and rarely seamless.

Next up is the economy. Since this is a Mining world, our export is

3.Minerals: Rocks from the ground that have value. Used in construction, technology, currency or decoration.
Must be export if mineral world.

So 1d12 to see what they import

Might need to introduce a plague or a pox on one of the worlds if this keeps up. Not a nurgle one, just a chance to see how the Imperium reacts to the population being a threat to the population.

>>89995132
That could be a plot point if someone wants to use this system in games, but adding it to the sector as is would be too much with what's already going on, besides any regular plagues or sicknesses are common in hive cities, it's only the warp manifested plagues by Papa Nurgle that really gets the Imperiums full attention, and we have avoided Chaos so far in this sector as it's situated in the Ghoul Stars, and in my opinion chaos is a bit over saturated in 40k as is, we can give the Xeno horrors some love now.

This Forge was founded in those troubled times, refusing to be corrupted by the heresies of the pernicious Moirae Doctrine (though it had its fair share of troubles).
I guess this explains why they are so focused on orthodoxy

What're they most well-known for making? (d100)

>>89996992
This adds up with our earlier rolls of the titans of Veire fighting the dark mechanicum.
All loyal admech came here after the Titans purged the last of the hereteks on the Antiquary world they were built on. This forge moon is devoted to the Omnissiah, as He and His will kept them pure. Absolute devotion, and they tolerate nothing less.
I'm beginning to think maybe those two titans on Veire are outfitted with some kind of lightning weapon, and that's partly how the "lightning lord" lore of this system came to be. Have to leave that to a better writer than I.
Now let's see what they produce here

5-7 Skitarii Defence Force - Recruited from the forces of the Imperial Guard or even from well-known mercenary units, they lack access to many of the Mechancius' more esoteric weapons and augments and just use common reliable gear, albeit the better patterns, with the special ordnance reserved for the normal Skitarii legions.
It seems they make lasguns, the sturdy, ol' reliable

>The Plasma Annihilator is destructive at all stages. The act of merely firing one shatters glass for kilometers, and may blind, deafen, or burn those nearby. Such a weapon can form craters kilometers wide, and melt many mighty machines to slag in one blast. Said to birth a small sun in each firing, they are a weapon even the most bellicose are apprehensive to ever bring to bear.
>The Vengeance Cannon is traditionally mounted on Warmongers, however an experimental rendition of such, unique to the Vei system, is mounted here. Essentially, and effectively, a weapon designed for Orbital defense from the ground, against ships. Similarly, a Titan armed with such, especially one of the fabled "Lightning Lances", is also able to do so.
>The Lightning Lances, the Admech argue, are not pure laser weapons, but rather hybrids, their assault not having both a thermal, and kinetic effect on their target, making them especially apt (theoretically) at orbital defense. However, their complicated mechanisms are prone, much like their right hand counterparts, to overheating. While the temptation is to fire them at their full, terrible strength, one must allow them to cool for many minutes, perhaps even hours, afterwards.
>The Lightning Lances get their name, as when they fire, dust and metals and glass fragments from the swirling surface environment often ionize, absorbing fractions of percentages of the beam's charge which vent through the clouds and vapours, or sharing their own in thunderclaps of light. The effect is said to mimic a storm of lightning suddenly forming around the beam, as the radiant energy searches for a place to ground itself.
>The theoretical of firing a Lance into a dust storm specifically to disperse its energy over a wide area of conventional combat forces, is being considered.

Though 300C is seen as an inhospitable temperature to all but those in power armour, the deviation from zero is next to nothing, on the scale of the Lances.
The act of venting such an apocalyptic system flashes sand to metal and glass, and may even arc residual bolts across the Titan. Power armoured troops, and even troop transports can be reduced to slag, or simply baked to unsurvivable temperatures by simple proximity to the weapon as it cools.
>>90001866
Do they share the somewhat atypical beliefs of the Vei system then? Praising the Emperor as the Lighting Lord, loving big Titan Lance weapons, and being more reasonable zealots. Or do they get up to some funny stuff in their evening prayers?
Or both?

I can see them crewing the Titans though. In power armour, they'd be the only infantry able to go outside safely, and Imperator's need boarding defense

The way I'm seeing this, is that the world was founded by Martian loyalists, against the Morae cult of Emperor worshipers (not to be confused with Omnissiah worshipers), this being the crusade they were founded for. A Morae cult ended up springing up anyway, and either the civil war had such heavy fighting that the promethean in the moon artificial geothermal system was damaged, leading to a planet wide explosion knocking it off tilt, or it was intentionally sabotaged, either by the rebels in a last act of spite or by the loyalist to purge them for good.
And this might actually be the second forge-world founded by this group. The description of the Alpha talks about how he died, the one of the Sicarian says how he died covering a retreat from orks, and the enemies of the legio. Somewhere out there, in another system, sub-sector or even sector, there's their original fallen forge-world, overrun with Orks, and within it's labyrinthine depths lies lost STCs fragments that were not be able to be saved.

Having two conflicts of this magnitude, plus having to maintain garrisons in the mining and agri-world on top of defending their forge-world, meant that they could not rebuild their forces with mars pattern skitarii. So the forge-world had to resort to merely equipping, training and lightly augmenting regular humans. So much so that it's what they are know for nowadays.

I can't think of anything to tie with the Deldars, which are also enemies of the craftworld. Maybe there's a kabal doing raids? Or maybe it's just corsairs working with the mining world pirates to steal shipments of resources of the few safe lanes of the system.

Now we only need a 1d10 for the order strength and we finish them up.

Then I think we either look through the past threads to see if there's any roll pending or roll up the deldar that the dice want so much.
Unless we decide it's just a corsair fleet.

W-043 was a paragon of the Skitarii, he emerged as a legendary figure across the Mechanicus, and even large parts of the Imperium, for his ruthless efficiency. Being noted by even the mighty Astartes as a great warrior.

The bond between flesh and circuitry in W-043's body had always been a marriage of precision, a marvel of the machine integrated with flesh, designed to maximize lethality and efficiency. However, his story took an unexpected turn when a flaw in his cybernetic enhancements unlocked an aspect long suppressed - emotions.
The resultant flood of feelings - fear, empathy, even a glimmer of affection to his fellow Skitarii - unsettled W-043's once calculated mind.

Struggling to reconcile his newfound emotions with his years of indoctrination and emptiness, W-043 found himself at odds with his duties and his own essence. The very attributes that once defined his prowess now clashed with his inner conflict.

While commanding his Sicarian Ruststalkers on a mission to purge a Heretek uprising on the Antiquary World they were stationed on, during a fierce battle he stepped out of the shadows to watch the sun cresting a building. His squad, baffled by his uncharacteristic behavior, watched helplessly as he was struck down, a grim, machine-like smile on his face.

Commander W-043's demise remains a grim testament to the complexity of the human soul entwined with the machine. His story echoed across Forge Worlds, serving as a reminder that even the most advanced technology cannot subdue the profound depths of emotion that persist within humanity.

His remains rest on the Forge-Moon Al-Malleator in the Vei System of twin suns.
May he never be in shade, and his smile never fade.
Praise the Omnissiah.

Oh, and here's something I found on the wiki
https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Electro-priest
https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Electro-priest
Maybe Vei worships of the Emperor as the Lighting Lord is as him being the Omnissiah, master of the Motive Force, due to the influence of the Forge-Moon.

Minor fluff time:

The armaments made by the forges on the moon above Veire, have their own unique patterns that have developed over millennia. The most notable is the humble lasgun. Dubbed the Vei Pattern Lasgun, this particular pattern of weaponry doesn’t fire a red beam of focused light like most las weaponry in the Imperium. For the focusing crystal commonly found have been replaced with a superfocused blue diode that are found in large quantities in many asteroids and mineral deposits in the solar system. With the diode in place the beams are in many shades of blue, almost like the color of lightning, which play a good part in the inhabitants of Vei’s belief in the God Emperor as the Lightning Lord.
The reason for this change was due to a lack of raw materials and supplies in the early days of the forge’s production. Ever since then it has been the mainstay where it became it’s own pattern with the blessings of the tech priests of Mars.

Maybe the reason the Sister have strained relations with the ecclesiarchy is because they adopted some of the electro-priest rituals after fighting with them side by side. The ministorum does not appreciate this divergence and loss of influence.
So the sisters have a bunch of electoos grafted under their skin, which is also the reason there's so few despiste the order being so powerful: training each one is much more expansive and time consuming process.
They make sure to try and weed out any that wouldn't meet their high standards. You wouldn't want to give the holy markings to someone whose faith would falter.

Good add-on to the lightning lord lore. I wonder how far they can go with their belief in The Lightning Lord before it differs too much from the Imperial Cult and becomes suspect. And I wonder what visitors think of the system of Vei.

>He clutched the golden pendant that hung around his neck, it was the shape of a man holding two thunderbolts, the iconography of the Church of the Lightning Lord, the ecclesiastical branch of the Imperial Cult that had sprung up
It's not exact but picrel is pretty close. Closest I could find after a quick search.

>>90005022
>I wonder how far they can go with their belief in The Lightning Lord before it differs too much from the Imperial Cult and becomes suspect.

The imperium is a big place, and there are thousands of not hundreds of thousands of variations of the Imperial Cult, not to mention that the Vei system is all the way out in the Ghoul Stars. So I don’t thing a member of the ecclesiarchy would care too much as long as they venerate the god emperor

So I think this is the final system map if we're not rolling the 2 Phrax moons. I named the mining moon Al-Saxum, "Saxum" being rock in Latin. Not very inventive but neither are my other Latin names for the planets. Any name changes feel free to suggest and I'll add them. The whole place feels very alive now
>>90004905
>So the sisters have a bunch of electoos grafted under their skin
That and/or electrografts
>Electrografts are a special form of electoo engineered directly onto the recipient's cerebellum. This involves cutting away a portion of the skull and creating the electoo directly on the brain tissue before (usually) replacing the section of cranium or covering with synthetic material. An electrograft reacts with the brain to alter a creature's memory, personality and knowledge. Many of the Imperium's technological secrets are passed on by this means, and it is certainly a quick and easy way to learn how to speak new languages, operate machinery, etc. On the other hand, interference with the mind tends to cause personality disorders, problems with memory recall and occasionally total mental breakdown.
Could also explain partly why they've got such a strained relation with the ecclesiarchy. They've went all in.
The Canoness Superior likely has the electoos and/or electrografts too, perhaps even championing it first. She's got to have some lightning producing power sword, shrouded in light and electricity. That's what I'm seeing anyway.

>>90005352
I wonder if the Forge-World is somewhat unerved by the sisters.
On one hand, they have adopted some of their customs, but on the other, their way of worshipping the emperor might remind them of the Moirae.

Maybe there's a split between the older Magos that were alive back then and newer ones on whether this is a good or bad things, being the reason that the forge world is neither allied nor opposed to the order.

>Order of Our Lightning Lady
I think the canoness superior having The Lightning Lady or some variant of that as a title sounds better. Her sharing part of a title with the Lightning Lord himself is the greatest honour, and her Orders absolute devotion to him is the only reason she can claim it. Even if the relations with the ecclesiarchy aren't too great, they can't deny that one so pure and powerful as her should be named such. She did kill a Daemon prince after all.
That being said, I like
>Order of the Sacred Light

So is the only thing left roll up the Kabal?

>>90005903
I feel like any DEldar activity is so miniscule compared to the rest of the system that there is no need to roll anything up.

>>90004905
That I think makes some sense.
Sisters are trained in the use of their subdermal electoos as an offensive, and defensive tool, channeling radient or thermal energy into stored lightning in their bodies.
This is part of what enables them to walk outside, as power armour alone is insufficient protection.
Also because the appointment is a religious one, as much as combative, each Sororitas is a labour of love in the making, and they are slow to increase their numbers.

>>90005898
The order did separate due to devotion to a saint.
Maybe the that was the lighting lady?

>Audio Source from a pict recorder taken from a sermon in a small church in the upper levels of a hive on Veire ca; 6228200.M41 [true date unknown due to conflicting sources and Imperial record keeping caused by the Great Rift]

Dear faithful followers,
In the depths of this humble strata in our mighty underground Hive City on the world of Veire, we gather to offer our prayers and devotion to the Lightning Lord, the Lord of Lightning, whose radiance knows no bounds. Amidst the darkness of the Ghoul Stars his guiding light pierces through, bringing hope and strength to our souls.

As we stand here, sheltered by the cavernous walls of this modest church, let us reflect on the eternal power of the Lightning Lord. Just as lightning strikes with unerring precision, his wisdom and might shape the destinies of worlds. Through the trials of life in this unforgiving realm, we find solace in his vigilance and protection.

Though distant from the heart of the Imperium, we are not forgotten by the Lord of Lightning. He watches over us, his divine presence felt even in the darkest corners of our existence. Let us carry his spark within us, illuminating our paths and driving away the shadows of doubt and despair.

May the Lightning Lord's energy flow through us, forging a bond that transcends time and space. Let his name be whispered in reverence, his symbol etched in our hearts. With unwavering faith, we declare our devotion to the Lord of Lightning, who guides us through the tempestuous currents of life, leading us to a future brighter than the stars themselves.

In his radiant name, we pray.

I think the primary thing holding this system back is just the gravity shenanigans that let them travel. They can’t mobilize too well and they can’t expect much help from outside forces so they just hunker down.

>>90006263
Praise the Lightning Lord. For He is the Master of Storms and He sits upon His Throne of Thunder so he subsists the storms that plague so many worlds. The mutant, the alien and heretic shall succumb to His majestic maelstrom of power. It is our sacred duty to ensure wrath of lightning scorches all that bare ill will towards His name.

The Order of the Lightning Lady, a recent Order of Adepta Sororitas, at its helm is Canoness Superior Seraphina, a formidable warrior who has dedicated her life to serving the Emperor of Mankind - The Lightning Lord.

Seraphina is not just a leader; she is a symbol of unwavering faith and unyielding resolve. Her ornate white power armour is adorned with lightning motifs, her power sword - Tempest - is shrouded in light, the hilt is adorned with intricate cog-pattern engravings, and houses an array of mechanisms that allow the wielder to channel and control the roaring power of lightning itself.

The Order of the Lightning Lady are known for their swift and precise strikes in close combat, often appearing on the battlefield in a flash. Under Seraphina's guidance, the Order has stayed relatively small in numbers but in unity and strength of purpose they are almost unmatched. Her Sisters are a close-knit family, bound together by their devotion to The Lightning Lord.

>>90010754
Her most legendary campaign, where Seraphina earned her name, title, and the right to start her Order, was the liberation of the Shrine World of Tessus Prime. The planet had fallen under the grip of the Daemon Prince Kyr-Morar, threatening to plunge the rest of the system into Chaos. They found the planet almost entirely corrupted. Serephina led her sisters in a siege to retake their Temple from the vile clutch of the warp-tainted Daemon. While her sisters fought valiantly purging the cult followers, Seraphina faced their leader. His hulking, distorted form clad in the tattered remains of once-proud armour, now eternally stained with the blood of the innocent. The battle was fierce, and Seraphina's shining white armour was breached, and her power sword shattered, now appearing as a shard of lightning. Yet, in a climactic clash of faith against corruption, Seraphina emerged victorious, utilising a personal teleporter to appear in a flash behind Kyr-Morar, striking him down.

The tale of Canoness Superior Seraphina and her Order is a legendary one. A beacon of hope for the faithful and a harbinger of doom for those who dared oppose the Emperor's will. Her unwavering dedication, and indomitable spirit echoes through the annals of history, a reminder that even in the darkest of times, a single individual's faith and determination could shape the fate of an entire system.

I feel like the overall Kabal doesn't have an interest in Vei but their Archon for whatever reason has a vested interest in it.

>>90003469
"Vei introduces and seems to encourage esotericism in the Imperial Cult, and the Mechanicus are not immune to the tides of culture brushing up against the strong emotions of the Warp. A mystery cult exists among the Skitarii, its worship and rituals venerating W-043. "The Immolation of W-043" is an influential text that suggests that the "incoming fire" that claimed its life was an ambiguous translation, even in binary. The cult adheres to the idea that W-043 ascended to join the Omnissiah, carried on a thunderbolt to the heavens."
--an excerpt from "Points of Light: Revered Figures of the Vei System", by Adept Horace Woltmer III.

>>90007271
>The moment someone can figure out how to reliably get through the veil, the Pharx will be done and the people of Vei can finally have a decent planet.

Figured out the Eldar plot. It's imperial militizarion. They need them to build up forces, but they can't let them expend them on the Phrax and then demobilize from their almost Juche-levels of armament. The Eldar sense that something is coming, and have had a slight hand pushing the Vei System further and further towards hyper-militarization, while discouraging expansionist breakthroughs via the spaceship graveyard and the veil. They need the Imperials and the Phrax to serve as a buffer to insulate themselves from what's coming.

And the Inquisitor agrees.

>And the Inquisitor agrees.
Man I'm trying to think what would have them concerned. Another xenos from the Ghoul Sars, the daemons that the Kabal is antagonizing, the WAAAAGH in the neighboring system,etc. Regardless it finally provides some clarity with the Inquisitor and them

>>90011825
What are the current existential threats for Vei?

Chaos, Necrons, and Tyranids are the usual answers for the Imperium.

Chaos has been routed from Vei, several times in the past, and quite thoroughly. (Maybe they've emerged again, and this time it'll really work you guys!)

Necrons--haven't seen any evidence of them yet. But all the systems being this inhospitable could be due to those being the preferred shroud or veil of the local dynasty.

Tyranids: probable. We've got heavily militarized planets that tend towards masses of people in their defense. We've got enough population in the Hives and a ubiquitous access to mining equipment on several worlds that would align with the typical genestealer armory--except Vei genestealers can probably get purpose-built weapons just as easily as improvised ones.

>>90011884
Contrasts and comparisons between these and Vei

Chaos: a possible end-result of the esotericism and unorthodox methods present throughout Vei. A mirror of how Vei could fall victim not to its weaknesses, but likely its strengths--the planning and schemes gain the eye of Tzeentch; the martial buildup without release turns into bloodlust through Khorne's blessings; the stagnation of the cold wars and decadent factions allow Nurgle to gain a hold; the pride in their ingenuity, craftsmanship, and the Vei Juche attract Slaanesh.

>>90011926
An endless march of warriors, suited to fighting in hellish conditions, armed and armored to an absurd degree.

Is this a Necron dynasty, or the people of Vei?

>>90011935
Tyranids: all the plans and schemes and desires for power or even just a better tomorrow are overcome by the strongest, most impulsive need: hunger

>>90011763
Nice add-on anon, I should have called W-043 "it" and changed it to "him" after his malfunctional. Also should have left his ending more open, but perhaps the "remains" of W-043 on Malleator aren't actual remains, more of a shrine to the idea of him. So perhaps either, or neither are true. I like that better than my ending. Leaving it to reader interpretation.
>>90011884
I think we covered all bases when rolling up the worlds, everyone is enemies with everyone else. I think the only two that never showed were Necrons and Tyranids, and only one mention of the Orks being the enemies of the Forge-moon
>>90011361
I still like this idea of the avatar of Khaine on Vei-4 that the anon suggested back in thread 1

>>90005420
>On one hand, they have adopted some of their customs, but on the other, their way of worshipping the emperor might remind them of the Moirae.
Likely, in the long-term I think the consensus would be that the sisters beliefs - while interpreted slightly differently - are still adherent to their own faith. But if my earlier post of
>>90003469
happened, then (some of their) their own beliefs are outside of the norm, even more radically so than the Order's so they're both a bit different. They are, however, a single suggestion of "hey our beliefs are sort of similar and you're already getting augmented, we should combine faiths" from having Moirae 2.0 and a knock on their door from a Martian fleet. It's a very fine line and they're both teetering.

>>90012199
Oh I really liked your story on W-043, I just wanted in-universe speculation too. I wanted to add to yours, not take away

>>90011872
I would prefer some unknown threat from the ghoul stars over tyranids.
The place is mysterious, and it was the direction that the Rangdan came from. Who knows what else dwells deep within it?

No wait, that was the halo stars, not the ghoul stars.

So here's a rough idea of Serephina

No problem anon, I like the speculation, it adds a lot so the story isn't so cut and dry. Giving a reader that little doubt that it isn't just a statement - more of a story or idea - works well.

Among the Xenos populations within this area were the Cythor Fiends[1] along with other creatures out of primal nightmares such as Togoran Bloodreeks. Among the native inhabitants of the Ghoul Stars are creatures so alien that they seem supernatural.[4] This region of space was once home to a number of Human inhabited worlds. However, an ancient threat is believed to be responsible for the destruction of these planets and accounted for the large number of formerly human inhabited Dead Worlds.[2b] The inhabitants of the Ghoul Stars have been described as being supernatural and pose a threat to the galaxy.[3] Among the most horrifying of threats native to this area of space is the Necron Bone Kingdom of Drazak

From the lexicanum

Drazak, also known as the Bone Kingdom, is a Necron Tomb World located within the Ghoul Stars.

Flayed Ones, generally feared and condemned by the rest of Necron society, are exiled to languish in Drazak[2], and thus largely populate the world.[1] They stalk through its desolate streets, fighting over gobbets of rotting meat and shards of bone. Only one Necron has retained his senses, the Necron Lord Valgul who rules over the planet. Under the command of Valgul, the fleets of Drazak make raids for blood and flesh against nearby worlds in an event known as the Time of Bounty.[1]


So its the Flayed Ones coming for Vei?


...coming from Vei?

Some regions of the Ghoul Stars were conquered by the Imperium during the Great Crusade; Nostramo, homeworld of the Night Lords, was located at the border of the Ghoul Stars.[9a] In 002.M31, Raven Guard elements were sent on a crusade into the Ghoul Stars, where they became renegades, forming the Ashen Claws.[9b] Most of the Imperial presence in the Ghoul Stars was destroyed during the Horus Heresy, with many worlds being depopulated during campaigns such as the Scouring of the Nostramo Sector.[9a]

In circa late M34, a great threat from the Ghoul Stars referred to as the Pale Wastings after the Nova Terra Interregnum is known in the records of the Imperium. What few records remain of this event suggest that this threat was both a "Star-spawned plague" that swept across many worlds and as "Nightmare engines" that slaughtered entire sectors. The Novamarines along with eleven other Chapters were dispatched to combat this menace in what was believed to be an apocalyptic struggle. Among the only survivors were the Novamarines with the others being lost, though the only evidence of this in later years was an ancient stelae located in the Imperial Palace on Terra itself that refers to the bravery of the Chapter.[2b]

>The Ghoul Stars, also known as the Ghost Stars, is a mysterious region of space that is a part of the Halo Stars
Seems I was not entirely wrong.

>During the dark and terrible times known to later historians as the Nova Terra Interregnum, when the Imperium fractured into warrior factions during the 34th Millennium, there exist in what records remain from this era scattered and veiled references to a great threat arising from the Ghoul Stars known as the Pale Wasting.

>Nova Terra Interregnum
That was when the forge-moon was founded, wasn't it?

>>90016083
Yeah forge was founded around that time

Has anyone made a 1d4chan page for this yet?

Storytime

"This takes longer than I thought sir" Said Veron through his vox augmented face as his left hand, currently jammed into the side of a cogitator tried to get the old bulkhead doors to open after dismissing the comment from his captain.
Simon looked at him like he had done the last few times, as he kept his lasgun in his hands, ready to shoot down the dimly lit hallway of the derelict cargo ship they found themselves in.
It had been a few weeks ago when the captain, Simon Phenander of the small shuttlecraft Champion's Dawn had spotted the remains of an old cargo ship that had drifted out from the spaceship graveyard and past the veil.
He had quickly assembled a crew, hoping to board the ship and collect anything worth bringing back for a profit. By the markings and ship designation it was registered a ship not from the Vei System. Most likely a ship that had lost it's way into the system before succumbing to the anomalies in the system.
They didn't know how long the ship has been drifting aimlessly through the void, but it was a long time. They had hoped for salvage, but once Simon and his crew had found their way into the ship all hell broke lose.
The crew, or what remained of them had gone crazy, eaten each other and those who were still alive hungered for more flesh.
In less than an hour after boarding more than half of the boarding party had been lost to the maniacs onboard. Simon's main gunner, Kenneth Vethna a former guardsman turned shipmate was the last one to be lost, right after he had jokingly referred the former crew as being 'Vei sick'. Now it was was only Simon and his tech adept left, as they tried to make their way to their ship, hoping to bypass a few bulkheads to avoid the smaller, and more cramped hallways.

"Almost there sir" Vernon said in his calm, metallic voice as he switched back to binary. Not long after saying that a crazed crewmate rounded the corner, his auburn beard dripping with blood, and his eyes almost glazed over in a sickly hue. He raised a bloodied pipe with a piece of rebar jammed through it. Without hesitating Simon fired of a volley of las bolts from his pistol. The light blue archs of light illuminating the hallway for a brief moment before the crazed man slumped down on the floor, three holes burnt through his chest.
"Others must have heard it, hurry up" Simon said in a nervous tone as he kept his gun raised. Only a moment after saying that the bulkhead slowly opened up, but like a grox herd to a dinner bell the sound of it echoed through the hallways, alerting the crazies to their location.
Simon fired of a few shots a small group rounding the corner he had just shot the previous one, killing a few and stumbling the rest. As he turned he came face to face with the angry and maddened face of a crazed crew, but it didn't move closer as Veron had grabbed one that ran up behind them with his servo arm he had hidden underneath his crimson robes. With a soft crunch, the head popped like a ripe berry before Veron urged his captain to move through the newly opened bulkhead doors.
"Go, and cover me as I seal it from the other side. I estimate a 76.9% of successfully sealing the door if you assist by keeping these malfunctioning biotics away from me" He said as calmly and calculating as ever as the two of them hurried to the other side.
Simon dispatched a few more with his las pistol. His time honing his skills with it was paying off as he blew the head of an old woman, her face turned to mist as the blue streak from his las pistol blew it up. With a final kick to the chest to one that came through back into the hallway the bulkhead slammed shut.

As Simon breathed a sigh of relief the lights in the room began to turn on.
"What did you do?" Asked Simon to Veron as he turned around to face the room as the lights came on.
"Automated process, nothing I did on my own" He replied simply and to the point. When the room was illuminated the two of them could see what this vessel was carrying into the Vei system along it's other, more mundane cargo. Before them, suspended in a vast stasis field was a Volcano Cannon, fresh from the forge it was built on, ready to arm, or re-arm a Titan. Before they could gaze for too long at the majestic and humongous clangs and banging could be heard from the other side of the bulkhead, as well as faint screaming and shouting coming from catwalks and maintenance ducts all around them, while unbeknownst to them the derelict ship had reached its apoapsis and had already started to drift back to the graveyard it came from.
