Craftworld Khoura-Suine Territories Listing
Craftworld Khoura-Suine
Description: This is where the heart of Khoura-Suine resides; where valiant warriors battle for the right to exist in a war-torn universe in which there is no room for mercy or compassion. Through the endless ocean of stars, these wanderers have traveled, attempting to make peace with the past and avenge the fallen
killed in righteous battle.
Current Location: The Craftworld is situated near the Eye of Terror, and is currently hidden within the Delatax Nebula.
Current Long Term Mission: To observe the Eye of Terror and the forces of Chaos. The Craftworld patrols the nearby space lanes, harassing its enemies whenever possible. In addition, they search for the ancient sites of their ancestors in an attempt to further understand the forces of Chaos and uncover any useful artifacts which may aid them in their war, or prevent their enemies from doing the same.
Current Short Term Mission: To make repairs to damaged ship systems and return the Craftworld to full functionality.
Current Status: An inexplicable power suge caused all shipboard systems aboard the Craftworld to shut down while traveling through open space. Moments laater, a Chaos raiding force dropped out of warp and besiged the Craftworld. Thankfully, power was brought back online and the Craftworld managed to escape, but not before suffering severe damage. Currently, most shipboard systems have been destroyed or disabled and the ship is now hidden away in the Delatax Nebula while undergoing repairs. To make matters worse, forces aboard the Craftworld are weak. Most potential warriors are still undergoing training.
Current Political Affliations: Craftworld Ulthwe -- Due to the close proximity of thse two Craftworld's and similar goals, the relations between them are friendly. All other Craftworlds are neutral to Khoura-Suine. Relations with the Imperium are tense at the moment, as disputes over ancient technology become more and more common. Chaos and the Dark Eldar are seen as a constant threat, and there are fleets actively hunting the Craftworld.
Commander: Caelcormac
Sor Moras
Description: The small, barren planet dubbed Sor Moras exists hidden within the folds of an anicent asteroid field, presumed to have once been a large, earthlike planet which was destroyed in sometype of natural phenomenon. The atmosphere of Sor Moras itself is unhospitable to say the least. To speak the truth, it's downright hostile, with raging sandstorms sweeping its desolate surface frequently. To add to things, this planet certainly holds a certain mystery to it, with the Farseers of the Craftworld believing that something lays buried beneath the shifting sands. Nonetheless, close to both an Ork and Chaos warlord's shipping lanes, it made an ideal site for a small pirate base to be established. While not an extensive complex, it contains a sizeable stardock as well as a well defended warp gate to recieve reinforcements from the Craftworld in the case of an attack.
Location: Within the Ma'haria Asteroid field, approximately 2 months travel from the Craftworld itself.
Current Situation: The pirate base of Sor Moras is in a perculiar position indeed. Unfortunately, a routine pirate raid against a small fleet of Chaos warships resulted in an astounding failure. As a result, several hundred Eldar were captured. Warmaster Haiken no doubt tortured our poor brethren into revealing the location of the base, seeing as soon after the incident, a sizeable fleet comprised of both Chaos and Orks came knocking at our door, including the Warmaster himself and an Exterminatus cannon. Seeing as we were unprepared, the combined strength of the enemy forces cut through ours without mercy. Thankfully however, the Warmaster's arrogance got the better of him; his battle barge was destoryed just as it was charging its weapon. The damage done to the colony was horrendous however. The base is running on minimal power, with only a token defense force remaining. Worse yet, the warp gate was severely damaged, and as of yet, has not been repaired. While the death of the Warmaster has brought dissension among the ranks of Chaos, it is only a matter of time before they return.
Short Term Mission: To repair the base, and most importantly, restore functionality to the warp gate, though finding the resources to do such a thing will be a monumental task in itself. In addition, all non-essential personnel should be evacuated as soon as time permits and defenses should be shored up.
Long Term Mission: To hold onto Sor Moras at all costs. Should the situation be deemed irreparable, every attempt to evacuate all personnel should be made, in addition to destroying all existing Eldar techonology present on the planet.
Current Political Affliations: Currently, the only thing Sor Moras knows is enemies. With the only thing in sight being Chaos and Orks, there is little room for negotations.
The Zalarikion Asteroid Fields
Description:One of the largest and densest asteroid fields in the sector, this area is quite dangerous to navigate, and rightfully so. As such, it makes an ideal place to establish a small scale pirating base to raid the established shipping lanes which run around the asteroid field to avoid the inherent danger in such a place. Within the heart of the Zalarikion Asteroid Field, the Eldar of Craftworld Khoura-Suine have established their base within the hollowed out cores of several large asteroids, kept together by powerful electro-magnetic fields, which, conincidentaly, keeps the Zalarikion base safe from the threat of a wandering asteroid. So far, the secret of this base is a well kept one. Few pilots posses the skill to navigate their way to the center of the field, and tracking the Eldar ships is a near impossible task in itself.
Location:The Osis Sector, approximately 1 month's travel from the Craftworld.
Current Situation: The Zalarikion base is one of the few Khoura-Suine holdings which enjoys stability for the moment being. To date, all of the raids sent out from this base have been an unprecedented success. Pursuers are typically forced to give up the chase after the Eldar craft have managed to escape to the field, as the density of the asteroids makes simple travel hazerdous. While a few craft have sustained minor to major damage from asteroid collisions, the payoff has been enough to continue such ventures. As it stands, the Zalarikion base is a valuable commodity to the Craftworld. With its continued operation, Craftworld Khoura-Suine will be able to marshal its stength that much faster.
Short Term Mission:To raid the shipping lanes which circumvent or actually run through the asteroid field. Also, to provide support and supplies to the Craftworld and its other holdings.
Long Term Mission:To pursue its short term mission and remain undetected.
Current Political Affliations: At the moment, relations with all other races is openly hostile. The Eldar of Zalrikion show no mercy to any wandering merchants or other veseels who venture to close to the asteroid field. A more serious problem may be the Dark Eldar however. Prelimenary reports place "ghost" ships matching the signature of Dark Eldar vessels near the Zalrikion base. If this is the case, they would probably stage an assault to seize the base for themselves.
