Named for the family that discovered, founded and gerrymandered it into it's current form, the Viaticus Demense shared in the fall of House Viaticus. Once the base of operations for a powerful Rogue Trader Dynasty, it is now a ruined subsector struggling to survive. | Named for the family that discovered, founded and gerrymandered it into it's current form, the Viaticus Demense shared in the fall of House Viaticus.

− | New Kaiser was once a nominally democratic planet, with an elected Planetary Governor and a Senate. When Agamemnon XXXIII disappeared the resulting political ramifications led to a civil war, which utterly devastated the planet. It has since regressed into a near-feudal state, and has been slow in developing further. New Kaiser is self sufficient, and it's now hereditary Planetary Lord is still loyal to the Imperium. | + | New Kaiser was once a nominally democratic planet, with an elected Planetary Governor and a Senate.

− | + | ==== Ship Description ==== | |
− | The first keel laid at the shipyards of Exaviar's World and the flagship of Viaticus Dynasty throughout the House's long history, the Aetherius Aeternus was the dominate naval presence in the subsector until its untimely disappearance two centuries ago. It has been said that this ship is a symbol of the world that spawned it, and that while it was under the charge of House Viaticus no harm would befall Exaviar's World. | + | The first keel laid at the shipyards of Exaviar's World and the flagship of Viaticus Dynasty throughout the House's long history, the Aetherius Aeternus was the dominate naval presence in the subsector until its untimely disappearance two centuries ago. It has been said that this ship is a symbol of the world that spawned it, and that while it was under the charge of House Viaticus no harm would befall Exaviar's World.<br> |
+ | A mighty battlecruiser, this vessel has seen conflict after conflict, often emerging nigh-unscathed while leaving behind the shattered hulks of pirates, xenos and traitors who would dare lay claim to the subsector. Never defeated in battle, and always appearing in the skies above Exaviar's World when the docks were threatened, it is the subject of countless myths and legends among the people who live in the great Hives below, many of whom see it as something akin to an Imperial Saint.<br> | ||
+ | <br>Its disappearance shattered the morale of the planet - the rapid decline of the fortunes of House Viaticus after seemed to be but a natural progression of this loss to many - although, in truth, the fortunes of the Dynasty had been dwindling for many decades before... the mission upon which it vanished was a desperate attempt to reverse the decline, in fact. Now that it has reappeared, the Aetherius Aeternus again appears in the skies above Exaviar's World, and a new generation dreams of being selected to crew it. | ||

− | Once a frigate of House Viaticus | + | Once a frigate of House Viaticus, captained by a loyal servant of the Dynasty, this ship turned pirate shortly after the disappearance of the ''Aetherius Aeternus''. Rising to prominence as the leader of a band of pirates, this vessel terrorized the sub-sector for many years. |
Ambushed by the newly-regained flagship and captured in a daring boarding action by the new captain, [[Lord-Captain Alexis Nikolaos Viaticus]], it is currently undergoing purification before being brought back into faithful service. All its former crew were killed due to their servitude to a captain willing to bind a daemon into himself to fight off the vessel's rightful owners. | Ambushed by the newly-regained flagship and captured in a daring boarding action by the new captain, [[Lord-Captain Alexis Nikolaos Viaticus]], it is currently undergoing purification before being brought back into faithful service.
