'''Boeotia''' was a nation which existed on [[Terra]] during the [[Age of Strife]] and the [[Unification Wars]], chiefly known for its lengthy holdout stance to [[Unification]] and the eventual violent end to its sovereign status. <sup>1a</sup>
==History==
An area of Terra mentioned in [[Imperial]] records as holding out against full Unification for some considerable time; while tacitly recognizing the [[Emperor]]'s dominance, the ruling monarchy of Boeotia used all manner of diplomacy in order to avoid losing power. In a show of great patience and benevolence, the Emperor allowed the ruling family of Boeotia - the '''Yeselti''' - to carry on like this for over 150 years, with the intention that they would integrate themselves into unified Imperial Terra at their own speed and with as much dignity as possible. <sup>1a</sup>

Instead, the Yeselti clung onto their independence to the point where, firstly, the [[Imperial Army]] was forced to invade the province and finally, [[Space Marines|Legiones Astartes]] of the [[Thousand Sons]] were assigned to quash the truculent little state.<sup>1a</sup>
