Iesta Veracrux is an Agri World that belonged to the Imperium at the onset of the Horus Heresy.[1a]
Economy
The world is known for its prosperous wine industry[1a] which supplies wines to the entire Ultima Segmentum.[1c] One of the wines made on Iesta Veracrux is the pungent Estufagemi wine.[1a]
As part of the Taebian Sector, the world is heavily dependent on the Eurotas Trade Consortium for its economic health.[1c]
Government
The government is composed of a board of the Adeptus Arbites headed by its Lord Marshal and the Sentine, a local law enforcement headed by its Landgrave. The Sentine was composed of Jagers who acted as police, and investigators known as Reeves, the latter answering to Reeve Wardens and High-Reeves.[1a][1b]
History
The planet was brought into compliance during the Great Crusade, being colonized by human settlers after the Old Night.[1b]
By 007.M31, the looming threat of the Horus Heresy had exacerbated tensions within the population, compounded by the spread of the Theoge.[1b] This ultimately led to the world declaring for the Warmaster in the wake of the Dagonet purge.[1d]
