Arkhas System

The Arkhas System is located deep into the frontier territories claimed by the Orpheus Salient, within a region dubbed the "Tuam Transitional Nexus," a point where three distinct stable routes within the Warp intersect, named for the Navigator who discovered it.

This makes the system of considerable strategic importance to the Imperial Navy as a waypoint between key worlds along the Orpheus Salient and beyond; especially for the movement of troops, fleets and resources.

Designated Rally Point Epsilon-Four, this has warranted the Divisio Tactica to recommend a resupply station be established within the system.

Arkhas itself contains many worlds, none of which are inhabited, though two -- Arkhas III and Arkhas IV -- both possess the capacity to support colonisation, though Arkhas III is but a temperate rocky desert, with no indigenous life to speak of.

Unbeknownst to even the most senior officers within the Achilus Crusade, however, the Arkhas system was claimed long ago by the Deathwatch for exactly that reason, with Watch Station Arkhas being located on Arkhas IV.
