Raakata

Overview

Raakata is a ruined world that can only be reached by passing beyond a shifting and treacherous region of the warp. Its collapsed and empty hives are said to be laden with untouched relics of the Dark Age of Technology, while the void around Raakata is filled with vox broadcasts of strange languages, garbled binary code, and blurts of static. Its human population is composed of feral and vicious savages who daub themselves in ash and powered rust; the knowledge and sophistication of the ancestors who built the ruined hives and treasures rotting within are long lost to them.[1]

All that is known of Raakata comes from the accounts of Toros Humboldt, who claimed its discovery but has subsequently failed to rediscover the world in two later expeditions. All traces of his earlier passage have been erased by the changing warp, and his standing amongst his peers has diminished greatly as a result.[1]
