==Information=='''Xerxes Quintus''' is the fifth planet of a harsh white sun. It had lost contact with the [[Imperium]] thousands of years before and had no knowledge of the origins of human settlement there or of the [[Emperor of Mankind|God Emperor of Mankind]]. It was an [[agricultural world ]] harbouring a large percentage of [[mutants]] and [[psykers]]. This generated a tradition of neighbours raising each other's children so that their parents would not have to condemn their own offspring if they proved to be tainted. The language is a highly bastardized version of [[High Gothic]] punctuated by oaths. Of Their religious beliefs they are hereticalby the standards of the Imperium, holding no saviour figure but rather a reviling of the [[Tzeentch|God of Change]], which is how whom they saw blame for the actions prevalence of [[Chaosmutation]] in causing mutationamong them.
It is most notable as the birthplace of [[Inquisitor]] [[Jaq Draco]], whose parents were adepts of genetics given a life lifetime assignment to helping reabsorb help reassimilate Xerxes Quintus into the Imperium. The planet had been recontacted by the Imperium approximately a century before Jaq's birth and plans were being made to utilise it as an agricultural export world, which would in turn allow exploitation of the mineral wealth of its sister world [[Xerxes Quartus|Quartus]].
