Tarakon

An ancient Knight World named Tarakon, whose ruling House Fásacha had long served as the protector of the bleak planets that existed on the other side of the Sanguis Portus. Mjorn quickly struck an alliance with the House, and the Departmento Munitorum took advantage of the fact that hardened soldiers were drawn to Tarakon by House Fáscaha and quickly established training academies and Schola Progenium facilities on Versliaus, Tarakon’s moon. One end of the Sanguis Portus Corridor, Tarakon and it's moon serves as a bulwark between the settled Imperial Worlds and the Xeno infested Frontier Worlds. Home of the fearsome Wyrms and the Gallant House Fásach, it has become known for some of the fiercest warriors of the sector. Among the deserts and swamps of Tarakon large reptilian beasts known as Wyrms form the backbone of a ecosystem. Only the bravest venture near unless they are among the warriors of the Knight House.

Home of the Mighty High Protector and his subordinate Lords. High Protector Moar de Fásach throughout the millennia the guardian of the Wilderness Zone. Each Lord Protector that is not a part of his Exalted Court is given a charge of furthering the known expanses of the Wilderness Zone and to ensure they send their best men to Tarakon to join the Wardens. An ancient House that has always guarded the Wilderness Zone that was finally discovered by the Imperium when the Explorator Fleets of Mjorn and Incendius Lux first went beyond the Gate of Blood to colonize the first Frontier Worlds. Sámhach de Fásach, the heir apparent, has been given the charge that she shall complete a taking.

Lunar Venatorii and their Wyrm Riders are the best the Astra Militarum of Ishtar has to offer form the break water defense needed to continue Imperial interests. On the training moon of Verliaus, the academies of war train the best and brightest of the Fringe if not the sector. No finer Cavalry are found within the sector. Heavily fortified with every terrain available for training, the programs of Verliaus know no bounds. Veralius to be a renowned academic world, where scholars, specialists, and soldiers from across the sub-sector go to study, and is home to numerous Schola Progenium facilites. It is here among the populace of the training moon that the elite regiments of the Lunar Venatorii are raised, equipped with the finest of gear and trained at the finest of academies, whose officers even travel downwards to Tarakon and engage in the sacred ritual of wyrm-bonding, earning their right to command regiments of Venatorii and becoming honorary members of House Fásacha. Indeed it is the Venatorii that often accompany the Knights of House Fásacha in battle to deal with the most dire threats to the frontier, as well as fighting the bloody battles of expansion.

Biosphere
Tarakon is a vast world that is rich in color and beauty. The surface of the planet is mostly rocky desert and golden yellow sand, which is colored by high levels of sulfur., but two large seas sit in the polar regions. The seas are joined by a series of rivers, each several thousand miles long. Tidal forces pull water from one sea into the other and then back again once per lunar cycle. This world is mostly covered in desert, life flourishes along the rivers and ravines that flow between it's two polar oceans. In the ravines of Tarakon, vast tracks of swampland where the hardy people of this planet make their cities. A desert world with a breathable nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere. There are no continents, but there are several small swamps. This is a damp, boggy area, prone to excessive rain and wide-scale flooding. A relatively flat surface prevents water from pooling into large oceans and instead keeps the water table high. There are a number of these areas however, which are fed by wide, shallow rivers - a product of the planet's active weather system.

Verliaus appears to be solely dedicated to it's academies and as such has built what terrain features had not already formed naturally. A terrestrial moon famous for its deep valleys and gorges and its meadows of luminescent flowers. There are no distinguishable continents, and all the moon's rivers flow into a single ocean in the western hemisphere. On the opposite side of the moon to the ocean is vast, unbroken desert. The most successful creatures on the planet are large burrowing arthropods.

History
Hand of the Inquisition(48+ ICM.M42) The Noctis Aeterna finally lifts and reliable travel in and out of the Sub-sector is finally possible. Ordo Maellus Lord Inquisitor Vasco establishes the Contrador Inquisitorial Conclave on Kimoa, with the express purpose of restoring stability to the entirety of the Sexton Sector. Under the command of Lord Inquisitor Vasco, Inquisitors Caleb Cristo and Karen Mareev of the Ordo Hereticus work together to purge the Sector of corruption, while also secretly working as part of the covert Cicatrix Cabal, whose mission is to find a way to close the Great Rift. Inquisitor Belladonna of the Ordo Militarum works with Sector Administratum Command to ensure Departmento Munitorium control is reestablished over Sector military forces, in particular she focuses much of her attention to the Ishtar Fringes and the unusual control House Fásacha held over the Militarum Regiments stationed there. Although nothing is ever confirmed the sudden illness of the High Protector of House Fásacha and the strange deaths of several field officers and members of the General Staff are rumored to be her doing, it is considered coincidence that the replacements on the General Staff are much more in line with standard Imperial Doctrine and slowly the Adminstratum exerts more influence in the fringes, often leading to friction between the Admisntratum and House Fásacha. Vasco himself investigates and destroys the most dire of Chaos threats in the Sector, the most bloody of these hunts is against the Khornate Cults spread throughout the Ishtar Sub-sector.

Wyrms
Wyrms from their narrow, golden, large-eyed heads, to their pointed jewel-toned ears, to the magnificent wings which, the wyrm was a thing of multicolored, jeweled beauty, slim and supple and quite as large as the shed. These great creatures came from Tarakon. Their large size and vicious claws give them ample ways to create carnage. The jewel-toned scales deflect las weapons and are tough enough to absorb quite the impact. In order for a Noble to Pilot a Knight or lead a Venatorii Cavalry Regiment one must brave a Wyrm nest and raise a bonded Wyrn, gaining the honored title of Sealgair. Any of the common citizenry who manage to succeed and gain the title of Sealgair shall be allowed to join the House as a Armiger retainer. Only the greatest of warriors produced in the Ishtar Fringe could hope to become bonded to a Wyrm. Those most recently bonded with their Wyrms serve in the Calvary Regiments before being made full Sealgair and get their own Venatorii Cavalry Regiment.
