Campaign Map

Recent History
The Gurash Nebula is a large region in the Maligant sector of Imperial space. While rich in resources, it has proven incredibly hard to navigate via warp travel, leaving most of the nebula sparsely settled. The few stable warp corridors have seen steady human settlement in the past 500 or so years, under the primary force in the sector calling itself the Gurashian Ascendancy. A sinister technocratic dynasty of degenerate humans left over from the darkness of Old Night, it was brought to Imperial compliance under the 816th Grand Battalion led by the Iron Warriors after an 8 year long campaign.

Anomalous Resources
The region has many planets seeded with an odd green crystalline formation, a rare kind of element that has only been encountered a handful of times in the history of the Imperium. Rumour and folklore are rive with mention of ancient races waging war in the nebula, remnants of ancient cultures so ancient and worn that they out date even most Eldar knowledge. Unconfirmed reports of the occasional disappearance of entire colonies have reached the more civilised planets, but the riches that can be made on such remote planets usually mean settlers soon return to these planets hoping for a better future. With the appearance of Archmagos Akoryphos and his Explorator Fleet some 5 decades ago, trade in the crystals have soared. Planets that contain vast caches of the crystals have been claimed for the Mechanicum, and vast penal colonies have been made in order to mine the crystals with cheap slave labour.
