HADES SPIRAL WARPSTORM

The Hades Spiral is a relatively small warpstorm located on

the Eastern Fringe of Ultima Segmentum.

Despite its size the storm is unusually strong and quite

stable, although like all warpstorms it greatly disrupts

travel in a wide radius about itself with only the Stygean

Gate being a stable conduit into or out of its fearsome

mass.

STYGEAN GATE

As a stable conduit out of the Hades Spiral into Real Space, the Stygean Gate contains a number of worlds

that together form a staging ground for several Chaos

Warbands as well as being a safe haven for all manner of

renegades and pirates.

As such the Stygean Gate is heavily blockaded by a

dedicated force of Imperial starships operating out of Naval

Base Adrasta.

NAVAL BASE ADRASTA

The lynchpin of the Imperial blockade, while smaller raids

might penetrate the cordon no major fleet can avoid travel

through the Adrastan Channel making a major chaos

incursion impossible without first neutralising the threat

imposed by this bastion of adamantium and ceramite.

NOTE: Chaos forces can NOT claim territory OUTSIDE THE GATE

without a CHAOS FORCE controlling at least ONE square on

Adrasta. Likewise OTHER FORCES can not claim territory in the

gate without controlling at least ONE square on Adrasta. This

applies at all times.
