Nox is a Hive World in The Periphery subsector of the Calixis Sector.[1]
Sidelined by the upheavals within the Calixis Sector and threatened by the war in the Spinward Front, the population of Nox has begun to grow restless and truculent.[2]
Hive City Nellos
A dark cancer beats at the planet’s heart, festering in the massive hive city known as Nellos. The metropolis has been subdivided into five distinct boroughs, each with its own demagogue leader and each with its own distinct form of heresy. Various Chaos warbands visit Nellos for many reasons, often to resupply, acquire fuel and ammunition, or to simply revel in the festive atmosphere.[2]
Nellos settles all disputes with gladiatorial conflicts in mass bloodsport pits. Ritual sacrifice is offered before each match, and the gladiators are usually made up of captured Imperial Guardsmen, Severan Dominate separatists, and occasionally Orks or some other, more exotic species.[2]
Nellos is also home to a handful of debauched nobles and merchants, each scheming to take advantage of the constant games—and the threat of the Imperium taking a greater interest in the city’s affairs—to secure benefits for himself.[2]
