Factions of the Prosperitas Sector

It is a cunningly spun lie that the Imperium is one united entity – a thousand spiralling arms of the Imperial Government, an infinite number of Noble bloodlines, and all manner of expressions of faith are constantly locked in subtle conflict for the right to guide and control the very soul of the Imperium. The Imperium of the 41st Millennium is only united by it’s shared fear of everything beyond its borders of the Xenos and the Criminals and the forces of the Archenemy – were it not for these threats putting combined pressure upon the Imperium, it would have likely imploded many years ago, and indeed civil war is not unknown in the span of Imperial History. Not fought over some heresy, or because of the tainted touch of some outside influence, but because the endless competition of various factions of the Imperium, inevitably leads to hostilities, eventually.

Unity, in the Prosperitas Sector has always come as a result of necessity, the Prosperitas Crusade used to ensure loyalty to a single goal, and a single cause, reclaiming the Sector in the Emperor's name, but in recent years these bonds have begun to unravel as personal ambitions have grown in the face of the Archenemy's seeming defeat. Recent years have proven these indulgences to have been lethally stupid but it has not ended the bitter feuds that have divided the Sector.

Planetary tithes and loyalties once-pledges to the Crusade have been diverted to serve political ends, and the Crusade's leadership finds itself increasingly fighting attempts by the Nobility to politicize it.

Noble Houses in the Prosperitas Sector

Noble Houses born from the bloodlines of the Sector's conquerors have lost focus upon the great heroism of their ancestors and turned to their own petty selfish needs, waging war on each-other in order to expand their own control over the Sector.

The Ecclesiarchy in the Prosperitas Sector

Even the Imperial Cult, the Ecclesiarchy has become fragmented, the iron fist of the rule of Cardinal-Emissiarus Grulge has officially been ended by his declaration as an apostate by the Ecclesiarch on Terra but he still holds power, and his sizable faction of the proscribed Temple of the Saviour Emperor holds considerable spiritual and political sway over the fragmented regions of Eremus Interdictum
