***Stygian Reavers (yes, those guys near the beginning of Into the Maw)
The base established here centers around a long-abandoned promethium refinery in orbit around a gas giant. There
is an orbital dock with basic repair facilities. The nearby asteroid belt has seen mining in the past, and the pirates
employ slaves for that task, although they are operating nowhere near capacity. Some mined out asteroids have
hydrocarbon farms in the cave systems. The whole set-up would be self-sufficient but for the life expectancy of the
slaves.
-Eternal Lament, Slaughter-class Light Cruiser, Captain Radnik Khan (calculating & decisive) & his Witch (UP); 3
Iconoclast destroyers as escort
-Fears in Your Dreams, Infidel-class Raider, Captain-Sorceror Faxxon Khan (cowardly & disloyal); this ship never
leaves orbit; 2 Wolfpack raiders as escort
-Your Mother’s Lover, Infidel-class Raider, Captain-Champion Orad Khan (brutal & sadistic); 2 Wolfpack raiders as
escort
-Soulcage slaver vessels (30+) use this base of operations; they raid hundreds of worlds in the Expanse; they only
infrequently stop here as the voyage through the warp storms to transverse the last few parsecs takes weeks
-The system as originally generated also contained a Hades-class heavy cruiser and Devastation-class cruiser, which
happen to be Karrad Vall’s 2 main capital ships. Perhaps after the Battle of Footfall the surviving officers are
influenced into joining Radnik, or perhaps Faxxon displaces Radnik and becomes the newest Chaos power in the
Expanse. Much depends on the actions of our heroes, so let’s leave this up in the air for now.

Navis Nobilite Houses - Navis Houses don’t like pitting their navigators against each other in battle and severely
frown upon dynasties that put them in such situations. Ships usually fly the flags of their Navis House as well as
those of the Rogue Trader Dynasty and ships carrying the Navigators of the same House often refuse to fire upon
each other, even in the midst of a trade war. Rogue Traders make note of which Dynasties their Navigators are
working for and forgo their enmities against such ships (though who knows where those macrocannon shells came
from in a massive battle?).

Navis Houses often, if not always, have their own vessels. In fact, the largest privately-owned fleet in the Imperium
is a Navis House Fleet. It has 40-some-odd vessels. Navis Houses in the Calixis Sector and Koronus Expanse can
be considered engaged in cartography or House business. Either way, they’d have small but fast ships with warp-
navigation enhancements (Warpsbane hulls, Bellecane Geller Fields, Warp Antenna, Warp Sextants, etc.). Popular
ship hulls include Orion Clippers, Vipers, and various Raiders.

Antagonists & Activation

Orks – The Waaagh! can be used almost anytime needed. This can threaten the Dynasty’s base of operations,
whether it is at Damaris, Footfall, Winterscales Realm, etc. A Waaagh! stopped will result in stability in the local
region, with the Dynasty hopefully participating in the Battle of Footfall in a mass ship combat against the Faceless
Lord. This provides our heroes with an opportunity to become Saviors of the Expanse.

Rak’Gol – Raids from the Accursed Demesne to Dynasty colony worlds are an ongoing concern and a reason for
building defenses, learning the combat system, personal combat, starship combat, and boarding actions. These foes
are present in both the Dark Tower and Dark Fortress systems, and they will continue to attack these systems
sporadically if the Dynasty establishes a presence in either or both. This situation cannot be resolved unless the
Dynasty’s navigator’s can track the Rak’Gol back to their base. Even so, it would take an intensive invasion to
destroy that base to the extent that Rak’Gol forays would cease for the remainder of the campaign. The best option
for the Dynasty is probably to establish a forward base, fortify it, and make sure it is well-defended in their absence.

Yu’Vath – Even though they are extinct, their creations can still be found in isolated locations. Their ruins draw the
Rak’Gol and the sale of their artifacts draw the Slaugth; this presents the party with an easy gains v. xenos
corruption moral dilemma; it also draws them into plots with the Cold Trade in general and the Amaranthine
Syndicate in particular. It can also bring in the Inquisition, though this would be a clandestine scenario, either to
help or to thwart the party.

Slaugth – They are taking control of the Cold Trade coming out of the Expanse one organization at a time; they
highlight the precarious Imperial situation in the Koronus Expanse brought about by infiltration, and the ease of that
infiltration caused by the internal corruption of those at the top; this can be resolved through destruction of the
Slaugth in charge, corruption of the party, or any other combination between these two extremes. The Slaugth
operate through the Amaranthine Syndicate, a conglomeration of smaller merchant cartels, minor noble houses, and
chartist captains. Whenever the subject of leadership comes up, underlings refer to “The Principals” as the origin of
the Syndicate’s direction. An underground war will break out between the Syndicate and the Quintet. Between the
two, the Quintet are the undisputed masters of the space lanes. The Syndicate attempts to control operations from
the ground. When the Quintet attempts to close down the Syndicate’s carriers, the Syndicate counters with the
assassination of key figures in the Quintet. If the party gets involved in the Cold Trade, draw them into this Shadow
War. The Slaugth also have a world they “claimed” (see the Gorganian in “Worlds” doc), located in the Expanse
that is controlled by a separate faction within the Amaranthine Syndicate.

Chaos – Ongoing raids from nearby systems indicate that Iniquity is expanding its base of operations. Captain
Radnik Khan is an independent. The previous captain of the Eternal Lament suffered a long slow decline into
Chaos mutations and was eventually murdered by Radnik and his cronies. Radnik’s base of operations is an attempt
to establish himself as an independent power in the Expanse. He may hate the Imperium, but has no love for Chaos.
His ambitions are personal. He has no desire to suffer the fate of the previous captain. A Chaos Sorcerer, Fraxxon,
allied with The Faceless Lord keeps tabs on Radnik. Vall has other fish to fry and will not move against Radnik,
who is popular and influential with the unaligned of Iniquity. Meanwhile, the Sorcerer is being manipulated by a
powerful Daemon that wants an ancient artifact unearthed without drawing undue attention to itself from other
Daemonic powers. While all these elements are present in the Next System, and will react against any incursion
there, they will not become an active antagonist until after Vall is temporarily disposed of at the Battle of Footfall (it
will take some time for the Unholy Powers that are his sponsors to affect the release of his soul). After that event,
Fraxxon will locate the artifact in question and drive off Captain Radnik Khan. This will begin a series of events,
starting with increased traffic to the Dynasty’s colonies (and increased trade, PF, etc.), bringing in more colonists
(including heretics), and culminating in an invasion of the Dynasty’s colonies concurrently with a Chaos uprising.
Radnik is Captain of the Expanse’s only Slaughter-class light cruiser. Of course, possibilities abound for the party
to intervene in this process and prevent much of it from happening.

Eldar – The Eldar can show up as both antagonists and protagonists in this campaign.
 1. Corsairs of the Spirit Crows might aid the party against the Rak’Gol, especially if an Exodite World is
threatened, but stand against the party if they want to exploit that Exodite World. The PC’s do not know
that the Exodites are descendants of Craftworld Lu Nasad until later.
2. The Exodites themselves have no love for the Eldar Corsairs. They get along with their human neighbors
and could become allies or enemies depending on the Dynasty’s actions.
3. Craftworld Kraelor can send aid to the Dynasty during the war on Damaris. They do not like the PC’s
Dynasty, but knowing their roles in the future will always try to find a way to work with them (manipulate
them into doing the dirty work). The Craftworld only sends Warlocks of the Seer’s Council to deal with
the PC’s Dynasty, simply because pride will not permit a Farseer to deign to speak with them. They
believe the PC’s Dynasty, along with other Dynasties, will prove instrumental in defeating Lu Nasad.
Those other dynasties will be those allied to, or rivals of, the party.
4. Harlequins are dogging the fortunes of the PC’s Dynasty. They are the wild card of any dealings the PC’s
Dynasty has in dealing with other Eldar factions. If the PC’s Dynasty falls to corruption, the Harlequins
will advise other Eldar to not deal with the PC’s Dynasty, or even act against them. If the PC’s Dynasty
holds to the path of purity and deals fairly with the Exodites, the Harlequins will advise the other Eldar
factions to treat the PC’s Dynasty as allies.

Rationale
I don’t expect to actually use much of this material, but knowing how many ships exist is especially important to
understanding traffic flows. Often, when the party pulls into port, they want to know how many ships are already
there, their names, ship type, class and size, their affiliations and allied Navigator House(es). The following is a list
of the number of stellar types I use for the Koronus Expanse:
O=1
B = 40
A = 200
F = 1,000
G = 2,400
K = 4,000
M = 24,000 (300 giants or larger)
Brown/Black Dwarfs = 32,000
White Dwarfs = 64,000
Neutron Stars = 1
Black Holes = 1
Dark Star = 1

I also place 1 Neutron Star, 1 Binary in the process of going Nova during the campaign (160 potential novas in the
next several billion years), 1 x-ray burster, and several Cepheid variables in a campaign, even if they won’t get used.
Obviously these are not mapped out, but I have general ideas of what exists out there when those off-the-wall
questions come my way (and they will come my way).

I figure there are about 60k-70k star systems. The majority of those are single white dwarfs, followed by single red
dwarfs, while half of those remaining are binaries with at least 1 bright star. I also figure that Imperial technology
can’t detect most white dwarfs, or at least Humanity’s ability to collate and interpret the data that their sensors
collect isn’t sufficient to extrapolate or interpolate these variables.

This helps to provide ideas for how many ships should be in a port. I figure that there are between 100-200 actual
human colonies in the Expanse. There are more left over from the Dark Ages that are waiting to be discovered, and
even more that used to exist but are now the ruins of ancient civilizations, but certainly fewer than 1% of the stars in
this region ever saw human habitation. The brown/black/white dwarfs are generally stellar remnants but they might
still contain interesting ruins, or observation stations that now pass as technological marvels. White dwarfs in binary
systems also present the majority of nova-possible systems. There are about 1000 “working” human ships, so each
colony might expect to “host” 1d5 per “ship journey.” These are deliberately vague terms. “Working” includes
merchants and pirates, so “hosting” might mean anchorage, or becoming a victim of said ship. Ships probably visit
several colonies per year but since time in the Warp runs differently it might average out to a few per year in “void
time.” Of course, some colonies see more traffic than others.

It also explains why Goliaths are such a rare ship type. I have taken liberties to define what the authors mean by a
“blue star.” I figured that only a single Type O exists in the Expanse. How many there are would certainly be
known, given their rarity and luminosity. Then again, given the classifications of stars in Stars of Inequity, perhaps
the same stellar classifications aren’t used in 40K. I interpreted “blue star” as meaning any Type O, or any Type B
Sub-Giant or larger, or any Type A Giant or larger; in other words those approaching 12+ stellar masses. It helps to
know a smidgeon of astronomy in this situation, since even a Type A Giant would probably have a biozone that
extends out past twice the distance of our Sun to Pluto. This gives a very different picture of the Damaris Waaagh!
