Brief System Description

The Varangian System is named after Varangia, homeworld of the Twinned 13th. Located in the Imperium Nihilus somewhere.

This system is very large, very prosperous agriculturally, and relatively peaceful. The Varangian system also contains various Factory worlds and other locations of strategic importance that are supported by the numerous large Agriworlds.

However, these exact positive qualities make the Varangian system a tempting target for all sorts of enemies to the Imperium. Especially since the opening of the Great Rift and Varangia's separation from the Imperium Sanctus, violent encounters with malevolent entities are not uncommon.

Basically, the system is important because it is rich and prosperous, which is pretty rare in the Era Indomnitus. So, enough resources that you can write in whatever sort of good guys you want. However, they are accustomed enough to war (and the system might be super big - may have to think about how many worlds and stars are included) that you can write in whatever baddies you want. Actual characters with novels and stuff written about them may just have to make pass-throughs or something if people want their army with a primarch in the fluff.

Other Random Setting Thoughts:


 * All of Stuart's interesting fluff happens post-Great Rift.
 * So if you need millenia-old details for your fluff, go wild.
 * Vague location in the Imperium below, for sure subject to change.
