Caligula is a Frontier World that is nominally under the Imperium's domain and lies at the edge of the Eye of Terror.[1a]
History
It is the fifth[1b] and only habitable world of the fifteen that makes up Caligula's System.[1a] They all revolve around a star, that is only marked with numbers on the Imperium's charts.[1b] The Frontier World has a small population,[1a] with a number of medium-sized settlements doting Caligula's surface, along with some farms. It has a low level of technology and beasts of burden are used by the population to transport goods. Because of its nominal status, though, the Frontier World does not have an appointed Imperial Commander, PDF or Enforcers and is considered lawless. However this does not stop interstellar traders from selling their wares with Caligula's population, despite it not having a spaceport. They instead have to land on the world's uneven ground and these landings can result in damage to the spaceships. Several have become wrecked by bad landings and have been left to rot. Also because Caligula lies so close to the Eye of Terror, many traders who ply the cursed region for goods sell their heretical finds within the Frontier World's settlements. They do so without any fear of Imperial reprisals and it is only because of Caligula's status, that this heresy is allowed to occur.[1b]
