We will continue with our subsector, we are soon wrapping up the xeno mining world as we only got the defenses leftPrevious thread: >>94759354Links to the 1d6 pages (if you're new to these threads these ones are recommended to browse through them to get up to speed)>https://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki/Setting:Astrum_Nihilum>https://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki/Setting:Astrum_Nihilum/Malaxis_ExpanseThe percentile rolls for the defenses >>94821965and the enforcers that was rolled before the last thread was archived results were;Force size: MediumForce Quality: MediumNow we just need to see how their other defenses fare and finally decide what xeno this world belongs to, if it should be Orks, Eldar, etc or if we roll up our own local xeno race unique to this region of space.The map has also been updated with the new planet named and placed in the sub-sector.
Actually looking closer at the percentile rolls it seems the planet only has enforcers. Also I have decided to make this a bit more interesting that we will roll for whatever Xeno lives here. Who knows perhaps the Imperium is lenient on them, happy to exchange raw materials for their continued existence in order to not expend vital resources conquering their world when other threats across the warp storms are present?But we will be using these tables here to generate our xeno species>https://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki/Creature_Feature_Creation_Table_for_/tgFirst roll:>Terrain of homeworld (d100)Who knows if this is their world of origin or just a colony/enclave, but we'll roll on this anyway, if we do say this is their homeworld we can default with either desert or plains terrains

>>94829454Imperial Guard, PDF, or some kind of human resistance>What role (generally) does (or did) the species as a whole play? (d100)Since we're using this to generate a sapient species instead of a mere animal, so I am thinking of skipping this one, but we can see what we get and see if we like it or if it fits at all.

>>94829553Hunted - "Attacked as sport for the challenge, a ritual, or rarity in material."We could probably work this in somehow>Personal Creature's Exemplary Action (d10)I'd take this as what is the tale about these Xenos that are spoken about as rumors in the guard barracks, or in the spaceports, etc
Rolled 5 (1d10)>>94829580They use smell and live in grass plains. Maybe mole people?
>>94829597Took down a Tempestus Kill Team while they were on a an important mission. A good catch.Ok I am starting to get a picture here: These Xenos, while easy for the Imperium to deal with using a sizable force is not on the priority at the moment as whenever they have a skirmish with the Imperium (or the guard at least) they always come out on top, so for now it's a lukewarm peace where they sell their minerals that they dig up from their advanced tech civilization so they can be left alone (for now) by the Imperium while they deal with Nihil Obscurus. Not like it's a rare thing for the Imperium to leave small xenos alone, happens all the time if the cost is too great to purge them at that moment.>Roll (1d6) for size

For the warp storms and such I just grab some of google, or some other online sources
>>94829945Ah forgot to change the WS to 5 instead of 4, just keep that in mind
Rolled 9 (1d10)>>94829945Works well for an insectoid hive mind type creature

No wonder the Imperium has trouble getting rid of these guys without exerting power and forces they cannot spare.So let's brainstorm a little;>What's the name of their species and/or Empire>How or when did they and the Imperium clash/meet>What's the status now in this current era?
>>94830292Do we want to roll an extra d6 to see if they’re warp capable? Also maybe the imperials call them buggers or something informal and they have their own clicky language that’s unintelligible to humans
>>94830292honestly we could adapt the Strigoi from official 40k lore and just say this is another incarnation of them. I don't remember if they were warp capable but I do remember them manipulating shadows.
>>94830340I mean they aren't warp capable as per their tech level, but sure we can roll a d6 to see if they can be bumped up from their roll in the last thread, also here's the summary of their homeworldPlanet Name: NasangoliaClass: Mining WorldTech Level: Advanced Space: Has explored their own system and colonized any viable planets to be found there.

>>94830446They are supposed to be not!Vampires correct, which I think doesn't mesh with the winged, exoskeletoned xenos we have here. I'd rather have something unique. But I shouldn't be the only voice here, so ideas are open about them.Also do you want a more alien sounding name to their homeworld, or are you guys fine with Nasangolia?
>>94830496To be fair, exoskeletons can be more subtle then stated, and as for the vampire angle, it could be interpreted that the known "information" of the Strigoi are just rumors and myths, with these xenos being their actual, more banal, incarnation. We could roll for warp capabilities, though that would make them nearly 1-1 with Strigoi minus the bloodfeeding. Nasangolia seems fine.
Rolled 5 (1d5)>>94830458Sorry, it was a 1d5. Last thread you said we could roll to increase/decrease the tech level since it’s a xenos world.
>>94830620Looks like you hit the jackpot, since we needed the highest roll on that d5 to reach Warp Space
>>94830660Neat, seems to be a fairly advanced xenos species. Weird that they only have enforcers though.
>>94830863Maybe it's just either Imperial intelligence, or it's their only known structured military force as the "citizens" can probably fight on their own
Decided to do this pretty quickly and for fun. Just something I had in mind of an Imperial agent submitting data on the local Xenos threat to the wider Imperium.
>>94831364Same picture, but without the text
>>94830863probably the equivalent of a milicija, where their military doubles as police.
>>94829912Also another thing, if you want the "40k fonts" you can look up Castlon Antique and Inquisitor, just add Font after.
>>94831364Maybe one of the reasons the imperium hasn’t invaded is due to its proximity to the warp storm like another anon suggested. Now that they’re warp capable, maybe they have ways to navigate through it the imperium can’t, making them valuable to certain rogue traders.
>>94831537it's likely their lax security is due to it being a basic anti-piracy and merchant fleet force, spending top dollar on the marines within their ships meanwhile their planetbound force is more scantly equipped. Lasguns and flak armor for those on the few (maybe no more then one) vessels they have, autoguns for the patrols on the ground. Their ships are probably nothing more then a iconoclast-class destroyer or two.
