Thanks a lot for your comments, Dazo! Still learning As for fossilised fuel... the world was first colonised more than sixteen thousand years ago. I'm thinking they've probably used up their fossilised fuel by now. I mean, most countries on Earth will probably be out of fuel in only a few centuries. Norway is out of oil in less than a century.

[/li][li] 015.M31 - The Ultramarine liberation begins in the Anargo sector, and whilst Proteus is brought to its knees by the Horus Heresy, the Ultramarines play a vital role in defending Nova Cerkes.[/quote] Was Nova Cerkes taken by chaos during the Horus Heresy? If so, what was the date of liberation for the planet. Just trying to get the dates straight to see if it was the Ultramarines or the Silver Skulls (Ultramarine progenitor chapter) who would have helped with the liberation. [/li][li] 288.M36 - As the Meksum and Sargassos subsector rebel against the capital, Anargo, the pressure on the Archaios subsector and Nova Cerkes drops.[/quote] Actually, the old capital of the Sector was in Sargassos. They would not have been rebelling against the capital at Anargo. They may have in deed been in opposition to Vandire's forces though. I am currently working on the Mezzan and the capital world in order to beter flesh out those parts of the history of the Sector. Currently I see the society of Hesperus (former capital) as being kind of decadent. They had very little use for religion and mostly paid lip service to the ecclisiarchy. Vandires facton wanted more tribute and was looking to levy heavier taxes on the Sector...which would have cut into the bottom line of Hesperus. They raised huge armies to oppose this push into the Sector by Vandires forces...of course among those forces raised would have been chaos cults and behind them, the long arm of the Alpha legion. It may be an odd twist of fait that they sent these troops to shore up the defenses of worlds across the subsector and then have the units show their true loyalties (to Chaos). This would allow chaos forces to take over several worlds almost without a fight. Sorry' I know this may be a little Off topic for the discussion of the Knight World, but I just wanted to give you an idea of where I saw the timeline for the Age of Apostasy headingFacial tattoos - Soldiers of Nova Cerkes are usually given different types of facial tattoos according to their specialty and rank. This is an ancient tradition, traced back to the first Knights of Nova Cerkes, who had MIU sockets and electoos on their head to assist in operating their Knight walkers. The Knights of Nova Cerkes still have such implants, and next to the delicate figure of the typical citizen of Nova Cerkes, these well-built warriors with mechanical implants are a fearsome sight. Any further information of what form these tatoos take or where on the face they are situated? Are they in the middle of the forehead like the Jaffa from Stargate? Is it instead perhaps like inbedded circuitry just under the skin so that they can link with the control systems of their knight walkers?

Was Nova Cerkes taken by chaos during the Horus Heresy? If so, what was the date of liberation for the planet. Just trying to get the dates straight to see if it was the Ultramarines or the Silver Skulls (Ultramarine progenitor chapter) who would have helped with the liberation. By Ultramarine Liberation, I'm referring to the time when the Ultramarine liberated many worlds in the Anargo sector from chaos, following the Horus Heresy. Nova Cerkes was not liberated, since it never fell to Chaos, but the Ultramarines did help defend it. The date was 015.M31 I thought (and still do, kinda) the capital subsector was Anargo after the Horus Heresy. Agh, this is why I asked people to take the time to summarize threads... If Hesperus was the former capital of the Sargassos subsector, then it would be a glass ball in M41. Following the Age of Apostasy, most worlds in the Sargassos subsector were exterminated, because the Chaos presence was too strong. Only the 'backwater' worlds of the old Sargassos subsector were allowed to live, and those are the old worlds in the subsector in M41. The really old worlds which were exterminated are now contained within forbidden space, patrolled by the Imperial navy. This I am very sure of, as I've worked on this for months, and we agreed on that long, long ago. Cool. I wish I'd thought of that Thanks. I guess it's horribly evident that we need to start a new thread to discuss it though, since we're obviously not 'on the same page', as it were I've not thought it through yet, since details like this are rather too insignificant for an SR, I think. I will provide more details on the different Knight cohorts and Knight houses (from Nova Cerkes and Greavedale respectively) at a later time. But it's not on the top of my list, unfortunately I was actually inspired by my vague memories of inbedded circuitry on Clan warriors in the old Battletech cartoon shows. Yes, it is just under the skin so that they can link with the control systems. In case you didn't know, MIU is a 40k word (unless they stole it) for Mind Impulse Unit. The Knights of Nova Cerkes would therefore put on special helmets that connected with the circuitry on their face and skull. Cool or what!? ;D

With regards to the 'tattoos', please note the parallel of "Glavian biocircuits" integrated into the hands of... oh bugger... Eisenhorn's pilots. Begins with a 'B', maybe.

Indeed. When or if I ever get around to adding some serious details to the Knight cohorts, I will be sure to draw parallels.

Actually, The discussion of this has been spread through several threads, so a summary wouldn't really help. This is part of the reason that I was trying to pull all of the information together in one thread. BTW, I've added new information about the old capital in the Sargasssos Subsector. If Hesperus was the former capital of the Sargassos subsector, then it would be a glass ball in M41. Following the Age of Apostasy, most worlds in the Sargassos subsector were exterminated, because the Chaos presence was too strong. Only the 'backwater' worlds of the old Sargassos subsector were allowed to live, and those are the old worlds in the subsector in M41. The really old worlds which were exterminated are now contained within forbidden space, patrolled by the Imperial navy. Not all the worlds of the Sargassos Subsector have been exterminated. There are several systems with high populations in the subsector. I'll try to establish more of a history for the subsector in order to better define it and clear up any misconceptions.

Actually, The discussion of this has been spread through several threads, so a summary wouldn't really help. Indeed, but this episode was discussed in detail in the huge thread called 'History of the Anargo sector', I think Very good, but I hope this thread was about the entire Anargo sector, and not primarily about the Age of Apostasy in the Sargassos subsector.. As I wrote in the PM I sent you... yeees... and no.
