A binary system in the Alyria Sub-sector containing several habitable worlds, all of which orbit Eressus A. The system is currently facing simultaneous Tyranid and Ork invasions.
Planets
Aetolia
A temperate world with a mixture of biomes, Aetolia is known for its natural beauty. It was originally an independent world before being conquered by the Tertians during M37, after which the Eressian League was formed to defend the system from attacks by other human systems in the sub-sector prior to Imperial unification during the Macharian Crusade.
Capital city: Aeos
Aeos is a port city situated on the coast of the Viyosan Ocean. It has a substantial space port ten miles from the city centre.
Ork invasion
The planet was invaded by the self-styled Warboss Bonerippa. With Imperial elements already in-system countering the Tyranid invasion of Eressus Tertia, an Imperial response is hastily drawn together, comprising the Cobalt Scions Third Company, 31st Nightfall Ranger Regiment, several regiments of Krieg Death Korps, and the Knights of House Ulfir. Even so, the ork numbers prove so substantial that military victory seems unlikely. The balance is tipped when Inquisitor Michael's ship Accipiter leads a kroot warsphere into the system, delivering substantial numbers of kroot mercenaries, and ordering the Imperial forces not to engage them. Despite early gains that heavily damage Aetolia's planetary defences, the orks are ultimately destroyed by the Imperial defenders. Towards the end of the conflict, the enemy warlord Bonerippa is hunted down and assassinated by a joint force of Nightfaller Rangers and kroot.
Eressus Tertia
This temperate world is usually referred to simply as Tertia by the locals. It has recently been invaded by a Tyranid splinter fleet. This invasion is being countered by the Imperial Guard, including regiments from Nightfall, with support from the Blood Angels and Cobalt Scions.
