Classification (multiple allowed)

Fortress World

Sector / Segmentum

Segmentum Obscurus

Description

Castellan Voss was originally a fortress world of high Imperial standing — a bulwark against the raider fleets of the southern Segmentum Obscurus. But by the late M41 it had degenerated into a layered world in which every defensible level was ruled by a different tyrant warlord.
Home world of: The Fleshrenders (chapter).

Fauna & Flora

Rust moss and mould in the casemates, rats in the cisterns. On the battlements of the upper levels the tyrants keep ornamental plants in iron tubs, watered daily and stolen at night.

Population & Society

Some millions, divided among levels, each of which knows its own warlord and none of which recognises the others. The Fleshrenders take their brothers from the lowest levels, where the price of life is lowest.
