Sleipner sector
Scope
The motivation behind building Sleipner sector
The Sleipner Sector is the setting for all our 40k and killteam battles so this "world" is to record all locations, battles, characters and armies we create. It's to be the one repository for everything related to our 40k campaign
The goal of the project
A detailed and organic background setting for our 40k games. All of our fluff and compendium documents for all armies and factions can be put here
Sleipner sector's Unique Selling point
It's ours and we can take whatever inspiration we find and introduce it here
Theme
Genre
40k Sci-Fi, Grim dark
Perhaps some cyberpunk elements
Reader Experience
The players should feel a sense of adventure and achievement, amidst the darkness of war, along with the odd open ending or not fully explained detaisl that leads to speculation and rumour
Reader Tone
Dark, grim, standard 40k really
Recurring Themes
War. War never changes.
Character Agency
Although the campaign is set in the 40k universe, the area of the galaxy we are setting this campaign is of our own devising. Details will have to fit in with current 40k canon and fluff but our own armies, campaigns and battles will all shape the setting
Focus
Drama
The von Aurach Crusade has been launched to reclaim planets for the Imperium. After the crusade was brought to a halt during the 13th Black Crusade, when resources were reallocated to the Cadia system and then the appearance of the Great Rift turning to a war of survival for what imperial resources remained, things have changed in the favour of the Crusade.
Dante of the Blood Angel's Astartes Chapter and Lord Regent of the Dark Imperium, has taken the lead from the Lord Commander and has provided the von Aurach Crusade with additional resources in the shape of strike forces from a number of Astartes Chapters, extra Astra Militarum Regiments and Imperial Navy fleets
The disappearance and reappearance of Warlord Grimskul of Skraptown has lead to the Waaagh fracturing into smaller warbands, divided across clan lines, all wanting to take control
A mysterious warp signature has been picked up across the sector, appearing as if random and then disappearing, only to reappaear elsewhere. The Imperial Navy augurs and astropaths have managed to cross reference the signature with Imperial records and have discovered that this signature belongs to Warpstation Odin - a warp-capable starfort of immense size and unknown age, which used to act as the Sector Commander's personal fort, flagship and capital.
