Salvaging Calixis

GM Prestar · 17 players

Absolutely critical High Lords of Terra missions, Time Travel, the Calixis Sector, and The Party... What could go wrong?

It is 009.M42.

Things are not going well for the Imperium.

It has been discovered by the High Lords of Terra, thanks to ancient data-vaults deep within the Imperial Palace itself, that there are assets that are required for the Imperium to continue located in what was once the Calixis Sector, as well as the Koronus Expanse and the Jericho Reach. The only way to access any of those regions is through the screaming heresy, horror, and Chaos of war that devoured the Calixis Sector a little under a century before.

You are the first veteran Inquisitorial troubleshooters available to the High Lords of Terra. You were gathered by the Inquisition Special Missions Ship Door to Abundant Joy (better known--to those relatively few that are cleared for the information--as the Joy Door) and delivered straight to Holy Terra. You got to know the other Throne Agents and Inquisitors aboard, as well as the carefully-selected Imperial Guardsmen that were also commandeered in the year-long trip.

You now all find yourselves seated in a conference room deep within the Imperial Palace on Holy Terra, awaiting something...

The Party, through some very successful misadventures, is now in 817.M41, is now (mostly) accepted by the Calixian Conclave and free (so far) to go about their official mission of collecting relics as well as their personal side missions as they can fit them in.

There has now been a Temporal Offset Displacement Wave...in other words, someone else altered the past--for the better--and now The Party has to adjust to a significantly changed Imperium and personal circumstances.

You're going to want to read An Update to the World You Know and Important Imperial Organizations first.

Then read Application Standards, and put a post up with your two new PCs. The new incoming PCs will be locals from the Calixis Sector from the new timeline.

Alternatively, you can take over a pair of existing PCs that are being run by the GM. Just ask the GM if taking a pair over appeals to you.
