Caladonia. A old and honored world of the Calixis Sector. The inhabitants of this world, and its two moons, Dropheos and Kaliph have a history stretching back to the time before the establishment of the Sector. In the time of the Calyx Expanse Caladonia had stood defiant against the darkness. It was an island of humanity in a see of aliens and madness.

When the great Angevin Crusade smashed into the Expanse the people of Caladonia saw an opportunity. Where once they were cut off and friendless in the vast darkness of the galaxy, now they would be united with humanity in a vast empire that could stand against the horrors they had faced for some many years. Thus the rulers of Caladonia wisely chose to bend the knee when the Imperium came, and were granted the right to continue ruling their world under the Imperium's guidance.

Ever since that time Caladonia had a place of honor among the worlds of Calixis. Caladonia's wealth flowed out through the sector, enriching it's neighbors. It's soldiers fought in the Imperium's wars, shedding their righteous blood in the name of the God Emperor. Upon the world a sect of the Imperial Cult also sprang up called the Custodians of Sacred Form. The Custodians believed that the as the human form was divine, then to minister to the body and cure it of its maladies was as sacred an act as ministering to the souls of their flock. The Healer Priests of Caladonia grew famous, and even members of the Sororitas Orders Hospitalier and the Officio Medicae have been known to come to study with them.

Caladonia has ever been a proud member of the Calixis, but it has begun to fall upon hard time. Its prominence within the sector has been slowly diminishing with time. It has been having difficulty meeting its required tithe of late, the merchant interests of the sector have invested less and less in the wolrd, and even it's soldiers seem to be of less demand of late. This loss in status has chaffed at the pride of the people and the nobility of Caladonia, and led to unrest.

To make matters worse the world has entered a tumultuous period. A small rebellion has formed in opposition to the rule of House Van Haubark, the royal family of Caldonia. The rebellion remains small and contained, but has been steadily growing in support. Additionally Morvaes Gastodon, the High Keeper of the Custodians of Sacred Form, and reigning Pontifex Mundus of Caladonia has recently died of old age. His death has led to a schism as Caladonia's vaunted order of priests quarrel over who is to take his place, with battle lines slowly being drawn between the supporters of the most prominent candidates. Most troubling of all there have been scattered, sporadic reports of increased mutant activity and sightings of terrible, inuman creatures among the shadows of Caladonia's great cities.

An anonymous request has been sent from Caladonia to the seat of the Lord Sector, requesting that he look into these disturbing events. However Lord Sector Hax has other matters to deal with, and promptly forwarded the request to the Inquisition. The events on Caladonia, while troubling do not appear to be dire, and many of the Inquisition have dediced to ignore them to pursue more pressing matters. However a few Inquisitiors have taken an interest in the happening of the once illustrious planet, and they have seen fit to probe the shadows of the Caladonia to see what sins my lay hidden there.
