What is this wiki for?

This is a community wiki produced and maintained by and for the Beard Bunker bloggers as a setting for various games in the Warhammer 40,000 mythos. If you have stumbled upon it from farther afield, know that you are most welcome! We hope it might provide you with some ideas or inspiration for your own games.

The Achernar Sector as a whole is used as a backdrop for 40K, Battlefleet Gothic, Deathwatch and Inquisitor. Any new locations, factions and characters created for a game/campaign we play end up here, so the wiki grows over time. As such, the level of detail varies hugely.

The Cetus sub-sector in particular is designed as a setting for roleplay centered around the Inquisition; see the timeline and list of characters below. Indeed this is what gives the wiki its name, as the Obelisk is the Inquisition fortress on Cetus Major where most of our Inquisitors are based.

The Eridani Sector is an area suitable for more extensive conflict, i.e. 40K Crusade. Some of the sub-sectors and regions are deliberately vague so that they can be explored in future campaigns, while others are significantly more detailed and have already been fought over a great many times.

- Kapran Sub-sector - The Kaprun system is the Achernar Sector's capital, and serves as the region's primary naval base. The wider Kapran sub is well-populated with a variety of economies and like much of Achernar has been only mildly impacted by war, although recent events in the Hasmides system have ended a long period of relative calm.
