Description:
Until a millennium ago, planet Aurelia rivaled Meridian as the leading planet in sub-sector Aurelia. Meridian was the seat of sector governance, but Aurelia enjoyed a close relationship with the Blood Ravens. Most of the planet's 25 billion inhabitants lived in two dozen massive hive spires, while a small but hardy population survived in the harsh expanses between the hives.
That Aurelia was not selected as sub-sector capital had much to do with its positioning on the rimward edge of the sector, where warp anomalies made interstellar travel less reliable. And this same thing ultimately spelled Aurelia's doom.
Indeed, during the so-called "Storm of Sorrow," the warp anomalies along the sector rim grew in ferocity and spread across the fringe. A powerful rift tore through space within the Aurelia system itself, disastrously affecting the orbit of all the inner planets.
Aurelia had been on the outer edge of the star's inhabitable ring - cold but viable - but was suddenly thrown much further out from the star. In a matter of days, the planet was flash frozen - much of the moisture in the air forming into glacial layers atop the sprawling cities. Only 100,000 or so escaped the planet with their lives.
In all likelihood many more survived in the shelter of the spires or industrial sites, but it did them no good. Indeed, the rifts continued to multiply until, barely a month after the first anomaly had appeared in system, Aurelia quite simply vanished as warp storms engulfed it.
For ten centuries, this front of warp storms and anomalies has churned along the Aurelian rim. Aurelia's star has been sighted peering out from behind the storm front from time to time, but the planet was lost most thought forever.
A year ago, the Blood Ravens and their allies saved the sector from the invading Tyranids. The sector remains on a war footing and every planet bears the scars of the alien invasion. Few have had cause to check on the Warp Storms at the sector's edge.
They should for the storms have receded and Planet Aurelia has returned. And with it comes an ancient archenemy.
