Belissar (Dead/Forbidden World)

+++PLANETARY DATAFAX+++

Belissar is a Dead World of the Jericho Reach, found far from the salients of the Achilus Crusade, yet considered enough of a threat to warrant quarantine by the Imperium of Man. The planet was badly contaminated by the forces of Chaos even before the Horus Heresy. 

Numerous attempts were made to destroy the planet: virus bombs scoured it's surface clean of life, and cyclonic torpedoes broke apart the planet's crust. Yet despite the efforts of the Imperium, mutants continue to thrive on the surface, and daemons freely walked the broken, molten surface of Belissar.

Belissar was eventually declared Forbidden, and given over to the care of the Deathwatch. There seems to be no link between the Anomaly and Belissar - their original are not the same, and their fates not interwoven.

Daemon Worlds of the Hadex Anomaly

A number of worlds are known to exist wholly with the Anomaly, fully consumed by the warp. The Ever-changing Library has a special section on such things, and Erioch has several info-crypts and data-vaults and physical archives off-limits even to the Watch-Master (fortunately Barotta has a genuine Malleus Inquisitor with him). This information must be taken with large pinches of salt - it's information dealing with the unexplainable and the insane.

Bulwark (Daemon World): Bulwark was once a proud Fortress World which guarded the original sector capital world of Verronus, but was later claimed by the worshippers of the Blood God Khorne. Following the appearance of the Anomaly, the citizens of Bulwark perpetrated all of the atrocities that soon followed. The forsaken world soon became a massive charnel house of death and blood, lorded over by a powerful Daemon Prince of Khorne, named Krakiota.

Coranin (Daemon World): When the Anomaly first appeared, this former Feral World was claimed by the Lord of Change, Tzeentch as his own. Soon the planet was transformed into a Daemon World, altered by the malign touch of the Changer of Ways, as he utterly corrupted the planet and its inhabitants.

Durell (Daemon World): Durrel was a former Hive World that fell to the sensuous temptations of pleasure and hedonistic desires of the Lord of Pleasure, Slaanesh. The world became one Grand Temple of Slaanesh.

Samech (Hell-Forge): A former loyal Forge World of the Adeptus Mechanicus the sad truth was that the faith in the Omnissiah had been slowly dimming some millennia before the infamous event of the emergence of the Anomaly. When this stellar phenomenon consumed the world, the forges readily embraced their damnation, seeking out the Ruinous Powers to further their own aims. Samech is the main supplier of weapons and ships for the Stigmartus and other factions resisting the Achilus Crusade. The world is know also as 'The Iron Pit', a haven for debased human renegades that traveled there to trade and barter.

Venkrous (Daemon World): Venkrous was a formally lush and beautiful Agri-world before the Anomaly appeared. It soon became twisted and warped by the rotting touch of the Plague Lord Nurgle.

Verronus/Varrus (Unclassified World): The glittering capital of the Jericho Sector sits at the heart of the Anomaly. It is impossible to classify it, or even confirm it's confirmed existence.

Verronus/Varrus (Daemon World)

+++PLANETARY DATAFAX+++

The Hive World of Verronus (Low Gothic: Varrus) was once the brilliant heart of the Jericho Sector., a place of power and riches, but also of learning and peace. Now, Varrus sits at the heart of the Hadex Anomaly. All knowledge of the system has been suppressed by the Inquisition - ordinary citizens of the reach have no idea that the fiendish light emanating from the heart of the Anomaly originates from what was once an Imperial World.

The Inquisition has classified Verronus as a Daemon World, but truth be told they have no idea what it really is. Is it really a planet anymore? Or is the intensity of the warp anomaly such that no planet can exist, not even a world steeped in Chaos?

Barotta is relatively sure that the creation of the Anomaly was no accident, but the result of a vast ritual, thousands of years in the making. He suspects that the seeds of Verronus' destruction were sown during the sector's creation. If so, what entity other than Tzeentch could have orchestrated it?
