"By the Throne, would you look at this! Barely a stone to fly around, no xenos, no grav-tides, nothing. There's money to be made here, lads. Easy money. " -Rogue Trader Markus Forsellis

Near the Coreward end of the God-Emperor's Scourge, bathed in the faint, flickering, bruise-colored light of the distant Void Dancer's Roil, lies the small and unassuming Forsellis system. Centered on the star Forsellis, a brilliant blue giant of immense size and power, it was first charted by the Rogue Trader Markus Forsellis nearly one thousand years ago. It is sparsely inhabited for its size, has little in the way of resources, and no known archaeological or anthropological sites of interest. Its one habitable planet, Damaris, lies halfway between the star and the vast ice fields at the edge of the system and is home to a relatively young and burgeoning Imperial colony. The rest of the system consists mainly of gas giants, barren rocks with trace atmospheres and the aforementioned ice fields, a treacherous, ever-shifting expanse of ice asteroids the size of moons that ring the system like a wall.

Beyond this wall lies a wide-open space free of serious navigation hazards like asteroid fields or heavy gravity tides, meaning the system is quite easy to navigate once clear of the ice fields. This easy navigation has turned the system into something of a trading hub, which has allowed Damaris a higher standard of living than would otherwise be possible in such a backwater location. While the inner system has been exhaustively charted, and the planets close to Damaris surveyed for any available resources, the system does still hold secrets. The ice fields, known colloquially as The Frozen Reaches, remain largely unexplored due to their treacherous gravity tides and the ever-shifting ice. What little is known about them revolves around the super-massive gas giant Skadi that broods at the outer limits of the Reaches, holding close any secrets it may possess.

Sadly, the peace and quiet enjoyed for generations of Damarais is about to be brutally shattered. Savage Orks have massed on the borders of the system, banding together in the wilderness of the Reaches for an assault on Damaris. Calls for help from the Planetary Government have gone largely unanswered, and rumours are that even the Imperium has abandoned the people of Damaris to their ugly fate at the hands of the greenskins.

Damaris

(Main Article: Damaris)

Damaris is the jewel of the Forsellis System, a stable, habitable planet in an otherwise unruly Expanse. Without this world, Forsellis would be only a footnote in the Koronus Expanse's history of exploration. Boasting a respectable colony with agraculture, mining, industry and even respectable defense, Damaris is primed to become one of the core worlds in the greater Koronus Expanse.
