Introduction
Judayax 5, a recently acquired Imperial planetary territory in the war torn Python
system. Judayax, although conquered is still in a state of unrest, various rebel factions
fight against the Imperials occupiers, and each other. Mutants, rogue arcanists and hacked
corpse-cyborg workers fill the rebel ranks, all eager to oust their oppressors.
The Imperial Legion’s security forces are stretched, and unable to be reinforced
this far out in Imperial space, many mercenary warbands have been hired to help supress
the local populace, this has however backfired on occasion, with warbands changing
allegiance when a better offer comes along, be that Imperial Rebel or otherwise.
The players warbands have been hired, pressganged, threatened, allied or other
wise found themselves on opposite sides of this local conflict. The situation is tense, a
prisoner designated ‘MESSIAH’ has been captured by local imperial forces. Imperials claim
he is a dangerous rogue arcanist, mutant and rebel cell leader, whereas locals claim he is
a simple preacher, rebel forces have jumped on board alongside public opinion to leverage
this to their advantage.

The Warbands
Each player will create a warband following the rules found in Planet 28, up to a
value of 1000 points.
