Star: M1 V Red Dwarf
Mordecai is the most powerful system left in the Perseus Deeps of the once sector spanning empire. It has three major worlds - Mordecai Primaris, the main world, Mordecai Secundus - a hot inhospitable rock mined for its resources, and Mordecai Tersius, a small but important agri-world. The system is self sufficient and is home to the mighty warfleets of several chaos lords including Admiral Thok.
Mordecai Primaris is home to 1 billion citizens, forced to labour in forges and manufactorums to generate equipment and wargear for the chaos cause. Ruled independently by traitor technocrats, Mordecai serves as an important base of operations for any would be traitor warlord.
The system has extensive space docks and defences, and although the Imperium have tried to establish a bridgehead on the outer world of Mordecai Tersius on a number of occasions, each time the power of the system defences and chaos fleets has repulsed them, until 019M42, when combined Novgorod and astartes forces, led by the Imperial Fists, finally took the agri-world. Now Lord Commander Justinian Flavius Maximus is looking to conquer the Chaos capital of the Perseus Deeps.

Hive sprawls spread across the barren landscape, as little in the way of life still remains outside the cities. Polution and the natural harsh conditions on Mordecai Primaris prevent anything more than scrubland and other desert plants from surviving. Fauna is limited to insects and small reptiles, many of which are deadly to humans.
The population of Mordecai Primaris live int the cities. The main cities ring the north pole of the world, surrounding a giant needle like artefact known as the warp spire. Bolts of aetheric energy constantly bridge the void between the needle and poleward pointing spires that dot the hive cities of the ring. Although Hamen is the largest independent city, there are three hive spires representing the major factions of the chaos pantheon in the Aleph Sector, as well as abandoned and ruined spires from previous chaos warlords.
Stahl's fortress is the Iron Warriors dwelling on Mordecai, a slab sided brutal structure, contrasting with the gleaming spires of the Crystal Citadel, home of Lord Tragean when he visits the world. Admiral Thok does not hold a dwelling on the planet's surface, preferring to maintain quarters in the docks that orbit the world. The Emerald Serpent are currently constructing a spire, while the ruins of Lorek's fortress, destroyed in a petulant rage by the Iron Warriors, remain as a testament to the uneasy alliance between chaos forces on Mordecai.
Closer to the equator the hivesprawls and their cities are home to slave lords who are responsible for the production of much of the chaos wargear and equipment in the sector, and Mordecai Primaris is second only to Charybdis in the Enceladus subsector in terms of power and production.
