Chinchare, also known as Cinchare is an asteroid locked in a figure-eight orbit around a binary star. It is the fourth planet of the Chinchare System.^[2]

Mineral Wealth

Galactic map including Chinchare's original location^[5x]

Its strange orbital pattern and the close proximity to another star system (Pymbyle) creates extremely unpredictable gravitational fluxes, and as a consequence, the formation of extremely rare minerals.^[3] These include ultra-rare metals including Ancylitum and Phorydnum and it had been a miner's plunder-haven for as long as it had been identified.^[1]

The only settlement on the world is Cinchare Minehead. A mining and port facility founded in 321.M41. It is currently run by a cartel of Imperial Allied Minerals and Ortog Mining.^[3]

The citizens of Chinchare are likely to be slaves or penal workers, living out miserable lives in arid mines or aboard freighters.^[5]

History

Once home to a creature of Chaos formed from the coagulated bodies of pilgrims who had descended into the asteroid to worship a corrupted crystal structure known as the Lith. The creature was destroyed by Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn and Magos Geard Bure^[2], the former being declared Traitor by the Imperium.^[1]

Galactic Migration

Once not far from the Eye of Terror, the System now lies almost at the edge of the Segmentum close to the Halo Stars.^[1]

Since the opening of the Great Rift it is the only remaining stable planet in the Chinchare System and is undergoing rapid fortification by the Imperium.^[6]
