Castobel is an Imperial Hive World located in the Jericho Reach's Orpheus Salient region.[1]
Overview
Regarded as the jewel of the Orpheus Salient, Castobel remained loyal to the Imperium through the Age of Shadow and welcomed the crusaders with open arms, turning its resources to the support of the re-conquest of the Jericho Sector. Castobel is a bustling, industrious hive world, with a production capacity that eclipses that of every other world so far conquered by the Achilus Crusade, and the sheer numbers of people within Castobel’s hives provide an ample supply of recruits for the Imperial Guard and Imperial Navy. Castobel is a fine example of how Lord Militant Achilus envisioned the progression of his namesake Crusade—conquered worlds contributing to the conquest of others, forging a newly self sufficient Jericho Sector with each victory.[2]
The Castobel Reborn are Imperial Guard Regiments raised from Castobel. In the years since Castobel was found by the Achilus Crusade, over two thousand regiments of Castobel Reborn have been mustered and distributed across the Jericho Reach.[2]
