Hi guys!

I thought it was time to stop lurking, and just comment on how amazing this project is. I want in!!  Grin
I have been playing just about every game set in the 40k universe since Rogue Trader, and the chance to shape my own small part of the universe is just too good to pass up...

I am currently building up my Mechanicus forces, and would like to do something based around these guys. Unfortunately from what I have read, they seem to be overly represented in the sector already. I hope we can find some way that I can contribute without pushing this any further than it already is. Anyway, here is what I had in mind:

Rather than an enormous Forge World, my lot have purposefully based themselves someplace utterly inimical to life. I was thinking of a planet with an atmosphere composed of hydrogen and helium obscuring the planets surface. Were one to cut through this opaque cover, one would find an Ice planet with surface temperatures of -220C and Windspeeds of up to 900kmh. Large lakes of Hydrocarbons would cover the polar regions, and cryovolcanic activity would be a commonplace occurance.
Deep beneath this icy sheet, the 'mutatus vir' researchers of the Divisiones Biologis conduct highly heretical research into aspects of the human genum and how to improve upon it.

These would be supported from a Feudal world, who are granted the status of adeptus mechanicus protectorate, but whose ruling caste have since become more and more decadent and withdrawn. With no care for their subjects, and locked away with the wealth of their world in great iron fortresses, the ruling caste has little knowledge or concern regarding what goes on outside their guarded walls. The peasant caste work day in and day out, afraid of their rulers draconian punishments as well as the brigands who demand tithes of their own, but nighttime is where the terror lies... An hour before dusk, folk will hurry back to their homes. Heavy shutters and bars are laid across the windows and the lights are extinguished. Families huddle together in the darkness and listen for sounds in the night. The 'mutatus vir' will sometimes place their failures on this planet to gauge their behaviour and try to learn from these mistakes.

And finally a prison asteroid. A high security facility of alien rock and rusted metals. The prisoners are lowered into the darkness to fend for themselves, as the prison guards merely guard the space dock above. Beneath, over centuries, the prisoners have devolved into feral creatures or gangs of "clean" humans (think necromunda underhive, but more claustrophobic and without trade options or firearms). These are occasionally interspersed with groups of humans trying to create a civilised society within reinfoced and re-designed cellblocks, fighting for clean water off dripping pipework, scavenging for rats and edible fungi or just trying to cling to their slipping sanity. It is here, that the 'mutatus vir' barters with the guards for test specimens. All but forgotten by the administratum, the guards now see themselves as the rulers of this place. Gruesome games are arranged for the entertainment of these sadistic men, where dregs from beneath will fight each other to the death for food or scraps of clothing.

What do you guys think? It is all just a concept I have been playing around with in my head, but nice to write it down somewhere Smiley  Any of this can be changed or adapted to something that is already in place. Bear in mind that I am new, what can I do to help with the project?

Well, we have Proteus as the main Forge World and Anargo Secundus as the minor one. However, it might be very possible that this army is from one of those worlds?

As for the world you are suggesting, perhaps it could be another world in one of the systems we have already constructed?

Look for one of the existing Feudal worlds in the sector, perhaps the creator is interested in some collaboration of ideas? Smiley

I like your ideas, you might want to check out this thread to see how much space we have left for such worlds. Do note that these are the systems that are mentioned there, so it could be very possible that the world you are suggesting might not be the main world of that system of a secondary or tertiary one of an existing system.

Welcome to the project. I'm glad you share our enthusiasm Smiley

I am currently building up my Mechanicus forces, and would like to do something based around these guys. Unfortunately from what I have read, they seem to be overly represented in the sector already. I hope we can find some way that I can contribute without pushing this any further than it already is.
Thank you for doing some research before posting your ideas. Unfortunately, the flip side of tempting everyone with the possibility of creating their own worlds is that people are inevitably more interested in creating new worlds from scratch than working on existing places. I mean, who wants to work on a small island within the framework of an existing concept when they can create a whole new planet and decide on everything from temperatures to the colour of the sky? Smiley

There are two potential problems, however. First of all, it means we have a lot of worlds with little information about each, instead of having a few worlds with very detailed information. Second, we've reached the point where the topography of the sector is more or less finalized. We know the number of systems, we have an estimate of the number of colonies and we have a good idea of the distribution of colony types (hiveworlds vs agriworlds). So when new members want to introduce a new system, this could potentially mess up our concept for the sector (which is "the average sector") by introducing too many colonies or too many colonies of a certain type.

Rather than an enormous Forge World, my lot have purposefully based themselves someplace utterly inimical to life. I was thinking of a planet with an atmosphere composed of hydrogen and helium obscuring the planets surface. Were one to cut through this opaque cover, one would find an Ice planet with surface temperatures of -220C and Windspeeds of up to 900kmh. Large lakes of Hydrocarbons would cover the polar regions, and cryovolcanic activity would be a commonplace occurance.
Deep beneath this icy sheet, the 'mutatus vir' researchers of the Divisiones Biologis conduct highly heretical research into aspects of the human genum and how to improve upon it.
This sounds very appealing, but how about moving this concepts to a planet or moon that has already been created, but lacks detals? For example, how about putting it on one of the moons of the existing forgeworlds? Failing that, perhaps this Mechanicus society could exist on a previously created world that roughly matches your description? In the Archaios subsector (the same subsector as forgeworld Proteus is located in), there is a small mining world called Elinas. Its surface is absolutely freezing, and one common method of transportation is using vehicles with skates and sails, hurtling across the frozen surface, propelled by freezing winds.

I do believe we have quite a few "ice worlds", actually.

These would be supported from a Feudal world, who are granted the status of adeptus mechanicus protectorate, but whose ruling caste have since become more and more decadent and withdrawn. With no care for their subjects, and locked away with the wealth of their world in great iron fortresses, the ruling caste has little knowledge or concern regarding what goes on outside their guarded walls. The peasant caste work day in and day out, afraid of their rulers draconian punishments as well as the brigands who demand tithes of their own, but nighttime is where the terror lies... An hour before dusk, folk will hurry back to their homes. Heavy shutters and bars are laid across the windows and the lights are extinguished. Families huddle together in the darkness and listen for sounds in the night. The 'mutatus vir' will sometimes place their failures on this planet to gauge their behaviour and try to learn from these mistakes.
Again, a promising concept, but one that I wonder if we can move to an existing location, if you are willing.  Your description reminds me of the feudal world Heleonis, though of course it is not a perfect match. However, if you were to insert your imagined civilisation into a world with a differently conceptualized civilisation, I think that would give Heleonis a whole new layer and make it more three-dimensional. After all, sci-fi planets tend to be overtly monolithic and simple ("Everyone on this planet own moisture farms and hunt wamp rats from their speeders")

If your ideas require that your Mechanicus colony and feudal colony are in the same system, perhaps we can set up your Mechanicus colony in the same system as Heleonis?

And finally a prison asteroid. A high security facility of alien rock and rusted metals. The prisoners are lowered into the darkness to fend for themselves, as the prison guards merely guard the space dock above. Beneath, over centuries, the prisoners have devolved into feral creatures or gangs of "clean" humans (think necromunda underhive, but more claustrophobic and without trade options or firearms).

Gruesome games are arranged for the entertainment of these sadistic men, where dregs from beneath will fight each other to the death for food or scraps of clothing.
Ah, the sci-fi prison world. One of my favourite concepts in sci-fi, though it has many variations. Just one question though; what is the purpose and history of this world? Why keep a [expensive] prison in space when you can't even control whether or not the inmates survive? Wouldn't it be easier to just kill them?
The idea is very classic sci-fi and very typical of 40k, but it would be nice to have an explanation Wink

Infinite amount of things to do, it just depends on your area of interest. If you like creating worlds, create worlds. We would be delighted if you would jump on the available worlds in this thread, but we are open to new ideas as well. Smiley

Sure, ok. After further reading it would appear that Proteus has a rather hefty Biologis presence so that could be the origin of my particular bunch of misfits.

Quote

Sounds good, just not sure what to do with regard to that :S The thing to bear in mind is that the research this lot are conducting is heretical so they might not want to settle on a planet in a populous system. It would more likely be within a short jumps distance from one.

Quote

I'd be happy to Smiley But not a lot seems to have been written about the individual worlds so far (?)

Hi Cels  Grin Sorry, I was still writing up my reply when you posted.

Nope, I would find it far more interesting to expand on existing ideas that are already out there. After all, my gene-splicing admech heretics would have to find a location for their secret lab complex within the surrounding systems.

The moon of a forgeworld might be a little too close for heretical research, but Elinas might sound interesting. Do you have a link to the write up? If there isn't one, can we drop the scating sailboats? I quite like the idea of survival only being possible beneath the ice, further reinforcing the concept of this place being utterly inimical to human life. The lab complex could have been established in an old mining facility.

I have looked over Heleonis, and I think we could fit this in very well. We could add in another point of interest on the map (Vanheim or something), a dark and brooding place. Not particularly wealthy, but in return for the keeps outcasts, the 'mutatus vir' maintain its inherent technology. The rest can be as in the original writeup. Actually, the army I am building uses hunched, subhuman menials dressed in rags and gasmasks. They are sent ahead of the main force for mineclearance etc. This could fit quite nicely Smiley

I don't think they would need to be in the same system, just the same subsector. I like the conspiracy feel of the heretical mechanicus team spreading its influence and drawing on various available resources from hard to trace locations (such as prison asteroids or feudal worlds)

Ahhh... yes. Tricky that. An explanation ummm...
I suppose I could just say that it is also on the mining facility, and used for unit storage (one unit=one human) but I much prefer the original concept. Maybe the more civilised world of scamander has to be seen to at least 'try' to act humanely toward the population. Those who opposed the regime are not simply executed, but sent to a 'processing centre' orbiting one of its outlying moons. Then they are just lost in the paperwork.

So what do you think, can we run with some of these concepts? Also I doubt if the original writers would llike it if I just started changing things. How do I go about inserting my bits into the existing format?

Looks interesting, and also great that someone is going to be developing one of the existing systems than wanting to create a new one. Cool. Cheesy

Well, I'm afraid Elinas was never supposed to be quite that hostile. Would you consider putting the complex on one of the poles where it would indeed be impossible to survive on the surface? Failing that, you could also check out Faustri Prime in the Anargo subsector, another iceworld that is even less hospitable than Elinas. It does have a few more quirks though.

I have looked over Heleonis, and I think we could fit this in very well. We could add in another point of interest on the map (Vanheim or something), a dark and brooding place. Not particularly wealthy, but in return for the keeps outcasts, the 'mutatus vir' maintain its inherent technology. The rest can be as in the original writeup. Actually, the army I am building uses hunched, subhuman menials dressed in rags and gasmasks. They are sent ahead of the main force for mineclearance etc. This could fit quite nicely Smiley
Excellent, I'm glad we worked that out. Be sure to post any elaborations on your idea in the Heleonis thread then. I'm looking forward to hearing what this 'mutatus vir' is all about.

I don't think they would need to be in the same system, just the same subsector. I like the conspiracy feel of the heretical mechanicus team spreading its influence and drawing on various available resources from hard to trace locations (such as prison asteroids or feudal worlds)
Brilliant. In that case, I recommend the Anargo subsector, since that's the one we're currently working on. Ideally, you could have a look at the Anargo subsector on our Explore website, and consider the worlds that have not been uploaded to that website yet. You'll probably find information about them on the Anargo sector section of this forum. If you insert your asteroid prison into either one of those systems, we'll include it when that system is uploaded to the Explore website. And then everyone is happy Smiley
(And then insert the feudal civilisation into Heleonis and the Mechanicus base in the Faustri system)

Ahhh... yes. Tricky that. An explanation ummm...
I suppose I could just say that it is also on the mining facility, and used for unit storage (one unit=one human) but I much prefer the original concept.

Those who opposed the regime are not simply executed, but sent to a 'processing centre' orbiting one of its outlying moons. Then they are just lost in the paperwork.
Well, Scamander might not be the best choice, from memory. The people of Scamander are physiologically very different from normal humans. If I recall correctly, it is a genetic disease which makes them all very weak and dependent on exo-skeletons to move around. Perhaps industrial world Fornax would be a better choice. Have a skim-read and decide for yourself.

So what do you think, can we run with some of these concepts? Also I doubt if the original writers would llike it if I just started changing things. How do I go about inserting my bits into the existing format?
Well, it's too early to say if your concepts will be accepted, I'm afraid. For all I know, the 'mutatus vir' could be a genetic disease created by the C'tan to make all infected people super Pariah Primarchs, shooting laser beams out of every orifice. The way forward would be to choose a location for each of your concepts (e.g. Faustri Prime, Heleonis and the Fornax system), go to the appropriate threads dedicated to those locations and just start writing about your ideas. From there, we'll offer our opinions and hopefully agree on something we all like. Then we upload it to the website and consider it a part of the Anargo sector project material. Smiley

Not complicated at all, as long as everyone is willing to compromise a little bit. When new members aren't willing to compromise, it gets more difficult, because then we're left with the choice of changing the existing background. It's not impossible, it's just... complicated, since you have to deal with all the ramifications. Anyway, I'm sure it'll work out fine Cheesy

Yeeessss,... the problem there is that it has 900.000.000 inhabitants and is a civilised world. For a hidden base to exist, it would require some impressive shielding not to be detected, and shuttles would very likely be spotted. Also -143C is not very cold (by planetary standards!), we have at least two planets in our solar system colder than that. Is there a moon or other large satelite that could reach a temperature closer to the  -200C mark?

On the other hand, this looks promising:
Faustri V (Banum)
1.6AU
G310000-0
Planetoid - small
Satellites: 3
UWP:YS00231-8(Dextrale)orbit:5
UWP:H241300-8 (Exartum) orbit:6
UWP:GS00600-8 (Exulatus) orbit: 35
"It appears to have had a collision with a sizeable body, leaving one side of its surface one large crater. About 9,000,000 people are resident on an Adeptus Mechanicus biological test station resident on Exulatus, set up by an explorator team. Ships are instructed most strongly to avoid this planet unless they are on Adeptus Mechanicus business."


In order to understand why, I had best give you a brief rundown of the 'Mutatus Vir'  Wink

The 'Mutatus Vir' (*altered man* in low gothic) began as an effort by the Divisio Biologis of the Adeptus Mechanicus to better understand the process of Final Termination (Death) from the perspective of saving Data that is otherwise irrevocably lost in the process. This project was placed in the care of Magos Xylona Tor, who established a biological test station on the bleak planetoid of Faustri 5 to this purpose. The freedom granted to Xylona led to the development of many of the lifespan enhancing techniques used throughout the imperium, as well as new methods of memory storage and cybernetic grafts onto braintissue.Unbeknownst to outsiders, the 'Mutatus Vir' has expanded its operation in the 2 centuries since its inception. Consistently frustrated by her failure to solve the questions posed by energy transference on the moment of death, and restrictions placed upon her by the fabricator general of Forge World Proteus, Xylona has begun experimenting in heretical sciences. Aided in her research by a cabal of trusted adepts (including a senior adept of the Divisio Xenobiologis), significant progress in the fields of artificially enhanced intelligence and alterations to the human genome have been made. Once these aspects of the 'Mutatus Vir' research program became too large to conceal any longer, a second, hidden research facility was established deep beneath the surface of the uninhabitable ice moon .........................., where her cabal continue their research in secret, unencumbered by the tenets of the principia mechanicum. Remaining on Faustri 5 to oversee the general facilities of the test station, Xylona takes great pains to ensure the undisturbed operation of the cabal, who continue to gather the required raw materials from less reliable, but harder to trace locations throughout the sub-sector.

"If flesh is weak, then why would the Emperor choose it as the medium from which to create the Astartes legions? Because He knew the truth, and purposefully forbade any further improvement to his work. It is hereby that he has forced our hand, for ignorance is the only true heresy..."

- attributed to Tech Magos Xylona Tor

The 'Mutatus Vir' believe that all life, and the order inherent in the unaltered natural state of things, is simply a complex mechanical system in which all things have a place. Only man does not fit this purpose, proving that he has yet to achieve his true potential. In the eyes of the 'Mutatus Vir', this can only be achieved by treating man in the same way as any other faulty machine-part. One can either disgard and replace the item, or upgrade...

How does that sound?

Anyway, what I was hoping to be able to do was post links from the related research bases to other facilities and planets that have a bearing upon them. Such as the biological test station on Faustri 5 would link to the Forgeworld of Proteus, and the hidden research station beneath.................. . The hidden research station in turn, would link to the Feudal World of Heleonis, and the prison asteroid in orbit around Fornax.

Quote
Perhaps industrial world Fornax would be a better choice. Have a skim-read and decide for yourself.

I like that. This is how I would see it working:  Smiley

the military forces of Fornax enjoy great support from the majority, which is largely the result of successful leadership by these military dictators.

Sound like shrewd fellows, eh?  Wink

The current Imperial Commander on Fornax is Star General Ravi Singane, is one of the most popular commanders for centuries, and though he has only ruled Fornax for six years, he enjoys the full support of the public.

He would probably like to maintain that support, thus trying to keep dissidents and rabblerousers hushed up without the unpleasant spectacle of executions. Especially for such a peaceful and aesthetic people as the Fornaci.

Despite the seemingly warm and peaceful nature of the Fornaci, Fornax has very strict laws and harsh penalties compared to other worlds in the Anargo sector. Although the death penalty is rarely used, criminals are often punished by public lashings, long prison sentences or even forced amputation. The fear of such terrible punishment combined with the non-aggressive culture of the Fornaci has created a very peaceful world, with low crime.

Long prisons sentences... possibly to never be seen again. To the prison asteroid !!  Grin (To be fed on factory produced chemical nutrient, based on algae or spun from corpse starch on site for the rest of their natural lives) Of course the prison could not be staffed by Fornaci guards, since they would likely not stand for it. Hence it is run by merc's, who act as stated above in the previous post on the topic.

Fornax possesses a fairly high mineral wealth distributed throughout the Delphinus system, both in mining colonies and the main colony itself.

An old and abandoned mining colony orbiting the planet would make the ideal location for the deep, subteranean, labyrinthine hell I envisaged  Cheesy

The Mutatus Vir sounds pretty cool, if heavily inspired by Fabius Bile. I like the reasoning behind *why* the cabal is doing this, the justification of 'It would be heresy if we didn't!'.

One question I do have though: what do they believe the place of man is? Surely it is the place of mankind to own the galaxy?

Ok, I'm definitely seconding the request for a thread about this in the Anargo Sector forum. Mainly so I don't forget it exists, but also cos other people are more likely to notice it.

It is in the right place, it's your introduction thread in the introduction forum. Smiley If you want to start a specific thread about the Mutatus Vir, then the right place for that would be either the Anargo sector forum or the Imperium forum, depending on the scope of the conspiracy.

We have set up the forum so that members should start specific threads about specific concepts, instead of a single thread that deals with several planets with different factions and whatever else. The question of when something warrants a new thread is always a judgement call, of course. Don't be afraid to start new threads though.

Ok, but I still haven't figured out where the secret research lab is going to be based  Huh I would rather put it someplace new, but nothing seems to fit, and I have no idea how to create something not already in place, nor whether I should.
Once I have that, I can start linking everything together. I have next week off, so I can write everything up.

Hi, the frozen space atol is the only thing missing, then I can get cracking on writing the whole thing up in the right places. Can I get some asisstance, since I'm still new to this and don't want to mess up? I would just like to get it all written down while it's still fresh in my mind?
All I need is a small, uninhabited frozen rock that noone wants to live on... Maybe in an asteroid belt someplace?
PS: Has to be really cold.
