Gangnamstein22

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

The Imperator Illuminatio is a colossal Inquisitorial cruiser that serves as the primary operations hub for campaigns against Chaos and Xenos threats in the sector. Gleaming cathedral-like spires rise from its reinforced hull, adorned with golden aquilas and stained-glass observation decks. Macro-cannons and lance batteries bristle from its flanks, ready to unleash righteous fury. The interior is a labyrinth of shrine-chambers, tactical command bridges, and vaulted sanctuaries where Inquisitors deliver decrees. Lord Admiral Castus Ryker, a seasoned Imperial Navy commander, oversees fleet maneuvers and coordinates with agents of the Ordo Hereticus. The crew, both pious and efficient, partakes in rituals before every warp jump, with tech-priests chanting litanies to soothe the ship’s ancient machine spirits. Here, missions are given, destinies decided, and betrayals uncovered. The vessel itself is a symbol of the Emperor’s uncompromising will and deadly precision.

Appearance

A majestic cruiser adorned with gothic spires and grim-dark motifs, its metallic hull reflects the flickering lights of the ship's prayer altars, shrouded in a haze of incense and oil. The command bridge looms above, surrounded by dense cables and blinking control panels, while crew members move purposefully through shadowy corridors lined with scripture and portraits of holy figures.
