    Agarthan Underground Hive

    Agartha surface

    Remains of a hive on the surface still suffering from a Monophysite chemical attack. Popular area for pilgrims seeking purification and soldiers conducting mock battles.

  • Type: Hive World, informally considered as an Adeptus Mechanicus Nestorian Shrine World
  • Tithe: Standard hive world tithe on goods along with Nestorian enhanced Imperial Guard Regiments
  • Population: 4.3 billion [4 300 000 000]
  • Government: Imperial Dictatorship, the hive lord considered first among his peers rules the planet though as per tradition, he must first present himself on Nestorium to the Nestorian Machine Council for their favor. The spire born elite also favor Nestorian magi as councilors.
  • Description: The planet serves as the center of imperial control over several systems thanks to its relative abundance in stable warp routes in comparison with other worlds in the subsector due to the warp storm known as the Grave. Adeptus Mechanicus interest in the world stems from the Monophysite invasion resulting in ongoing salvage and research operations on the planet and its nearby systems. Furthermore, the Nestorian led victory over the heretek enemy is considered by Nestorians as the first in a series of events which resulted in the rapid expansion in adherents in the Nestorian faith outside the sector. As such the planet is considered a holy world for all who profess the Nestorian Learners faction. Pilgrim routes dot the surface, tracing the running battles between the faithful and the hereteks. Most of the native population after the heretek invasion now live in underground arcologies. The surface of the world apart from the remaining hives untouched by the invasion now consist of Adeptus Mechanicus research and salvage stations, pilgrim sites and training grounds for the Imperial Guard regiments and the Planetary Defence Forces.
  • Technology: [V - Good] Nestorian aid and influence in the reconstruction following the heretek invasion has resulted in an increase in availability of the high end of imperial hive technologies to speak of nothing the technologies contained inside the Adeptus Mechanicus stations that litter the world.
  • Military: The Agarthan System Fleet is based around its moon while numerous smaller stations are based around the scattered remains of a twin moon that was destroyed during the heretek invasion. The Agarthan Imperial Guard have been noted by Imperial Guard High Command as being particularly uncaring of collateral damage and their habit of servitorization of the enemy - and in some cases friends.
  • Strategic: [Media Primus] Agartha apart from its importance as a hive world stands as the center of imperial power and control over the planets near it. The Nestorian Learners would bitterly defend their holy planet.
  • Loyalty: [Nestorium: 85%][Imperium: 45%] It is an open secret that most of the planet worships the Emperor in his machine aspect. It is rumored that the ecclesiarchy, incensed at this is secretly funding radicals in those who still worship in the traditional manner to attack the pilgrims. Imperial tacticians believe that in the event of Nestorium seceding, Agartha and its vassal planets would follow.
