===Arrival===
Benedin IV moved the entirety of the Adeptus Ministorum to Ophelia VII and built vast cathedrals over 90,000 square miles of land and 4,000 miles metres into the sky. Only the [[Imperial Palace]] on Terra dominated them. The reason Ophelia VII was chosen to host the Adeptus Ministorum was because of three factors, Benedin IV's connections with the world, its vast wealth and the distance it placed between the High Lords of Terra and the general governance of the Adeptus Ministorum. It allowed them to raise vast tithes to replenish and invigorate the Ministorum's funds, and encouraged competition between Cardinals on other worlds to build the biggest and most impressive cathedrals and monuments to the worship of the Emperor. Cults which posed a threat to the Ministorum were rooted out and destroyed by zealous Cardinals, Preachers and Confessors throughout the Imperium and the Ministorum's control grew rapidly.
