Set before the fall of Cadia, the players must defend key Imperial worlds.


Author's Note: Premade characters start at Cadia Gate, generated start in Necromunda. The premade players are agents of the Inquisition/Deathwatch, tasked with eliminating Chaos threats spreading from the Eye of Terror in The Shattered Imperium universe. Set before the fall of Cadia, the players must defend key Imperial worlds, confront dangerous secrets, and navigate moral dilemmas. They will travel to both well-known and obscure Warhammer 40K locations, uncovering forgotten relics, hidden Warp rifts, and the rise of a secret Tzeentch cult. Chaos corruption will test their sanity and faith, while powerful allies like the Deathwatch guide them through the Imperium’s darkest days.

Description

Once a pillar of productivity, Hive Secundus now stands in ruins, brought low by a Genestealer infestation that spiraled out of control. The rogue Magos Biologis Hermiatus attempted to harness the xenos' genetic potential, resulting in a nightmare that only planetary-level bombardment could contain. Now, the hive is a mix of collapsed structures, ash wastes, and a dense ring of trenches patrolled by beleaguered PDF (Planetary Defense Force) Rules: -Hive Secundus provides a mix of survival horror, dungeon crawling, and chaotic warfare. -Players must balance subtlety with firepower, navigating through xenos-infested ruins while dealing with the ongoing struggle between the Genestealer Cults and human savages. Introduce significant challenges in the form of moral decisions—aid the human survivors or exploit them for access to hidden areas? -Always emphasize the bleak and hopeless atmosphere.
