Moracre is an Imperial world, that lies within the Eastern Fringe.^[1]

History

It was once led by the Planetary Governor Urbit Poralius, whose son, Memet, was to be his successor. However, Memet later left Moracre, after he grew tired of waiting for his father to die. His journey led him to make dealings with the emergent T'au Empire and Memet eventually created a trade route between the Xenos and Moracre. The immense wealth he earned from this route then allowed Memet to fund a rebellion that overthrew his father's rule of their home world. He then personally killed Urbit and became Moracre's new Planetary Governor. Now fully in control of his Homeworld, Memet began an open allegiance with the T'au Empire.^[1]

The Xenos were eager to exploit their relationship with Moracre and this allowed the world to prosper for sometime. However, Memet's allegiance with the T'au Empire was eventually discovered by the Ecclesiarchy. This was as the Imperium was preparing to launch the Damocles Crusade against the T'au and the Ecclesiarchy decided to make an example of Moracre. Battlefleet Artemis was dispatched to do so and it destroyed the links of Memet's trade route, before attacking Moracre. After establishing orbital superiority, the Battlefleet deployed almost three dozen Astra Militarum Regiments to the world's surface. While Memet was able to escape to the T'au Empire, Moracre fell to the Imperium.^[1]
