Bekrin is a Cardinal World, religious capital of the diocese covering much of what is now the Jericho Reach's Canis Salient. Its clergy evacuated the world to escape the approaching Tyranids, and though the Tyranids were turned aside before they could reach Bekrin, the world has never been resettled.

The Adeptus Ministorum often petitions Lord Commander Sebiascor Ebongrave to reclaim Bekrin and install a new Cardinal to serve as the spiritual leader of the Canis Salient. Ebongrave, for reasons unknown, has bluntly refused at every turn, and has even proclaimed Bekrin a Quarantined World.

No one knows why, though there is no shortage of speculation about what horrible sights might be found among Bekrin's fabled natural beauty and gilded temple-cities.

To some, Bekrin is an example of Ebongrave's paranoia, but others insist that there must be something terribly wrong with the planet. In any case, no official word on Bekrin has been forthcoming in more than forty solar years.
