Once the most pleasant and scenic world in the sector, Exterminus Cratum is now a war-torn hellhole. The forces of Chaos gained a foothold on Senica-5, the planet's twin, and used it as a base of operations until the Inquisition had Senica-5 destroyed. The Exterminatus operation cracked Senica-5 into fifteen parts, one of them slamming into Senica-4. It knocked Senica-4 almost completely over, giving it its severe axial tilt and destroying the environment. The remaining fourteen parts of Senica-5 fell back into orbit around Senica-4, renamed Exterminus Cratum by the survivors, forming an unpredictable, almost impenetrable wall of rock that prevents large ships from landing, and makes for a dangerous journey even in small, maneuverable craft. Unfortunately, the forces of Chaos still have an interest in the world, and with the Ministorum unable to land large numbers of troops, the locals have turned to hiring huge numbers of mercenaries to defend the remaining settlements. |
