'''Perlia''' is an Imperial [[Civilized World]] located near the [[Damocles Gulf]] in [[Ultima Segmentum]]. It has the distinction of being besieged by two separate enemies of the Imperium, both of which were defeated by the actions of [[Commissar]] [[Ciaphas Cain]], the reluctant Hero of the Imperium.
==History==
Perlia has two continents. The eastern continent is mostly mountainous desert, while the western continent contains much of the planet's industry and civilization centers, including the planetary capital of Havensdown.
In the 920s.M41, the planet came under siege by a [[Waaagh!]] led by Warlord Gargash Korbul, who had also besieged several worlds in the sector. The Imperial Guard had been sent in order to quell the Waaagh!; among the regiments was the Valhallan 12th Field Artillery and its regimental commissar, Ciaphas Cain. Separated from his regiment and other Imperial forces during a battle in orbit, Cain crash-landed in the deserts of the eastern continent. Along with his ever-present (and ever-odiferous) aide, [[Ferik Jurgen]], Cain journeyed across the desert, meeting up with elements of the Perlian PDF and civilians liberated from Ork captivity, forming them into a ragtag army in what became the [[First Siege of Perlia|"March of the Liberator"]]. Thanks to Cain's actions, including a duel to the death with Warlord Korbul, Perlia was liberated. Cain became an instant hero on Perlia, and many statues and monuments appeared praising him. After reconstruction, the town of Prosperity Wells - where the "March of the Liberator" had begun - was rechristened "Cainstead" (a fact that Cain himself found both hilarious and embarassing). In Havensdown, a clock was set in Liberation Square, showing a clockwork commissar (obviously representing Cain) beheading the number of clockwork Orks that corresponded to the time - another edifice that Cain disliked intensely.
After reconstruction and in light of the recent expansion of the [[Tau Empire]] in the [[Damocles Gulf]] region, Perlia received several Imperial facilities, including a [[Schola Progenium]] where Cain would later teach after his retirement in the early 990s.M41. His retirement would not be quiet, however, as the [[Second Siege of Perlia|Second Siege]] began in 999.M41, during [[Ezekyle Abaddon|Abaddon the Despoiler]]'s [[13th Black Crusade]]. Once again, Cain would lead the defense of the planet, and once again he would duel the leader of the attack - in this case, the Chaos Warmaster Varan the Undefeatable, who was kicked from the roof of the Mechanicus shrine where they had been fighting, sending the Warmaster to fall with an unceremonious thud to his death.
