Added link to seperate page for Varangantua
'''Alecto''' is an [[Imperial]] [[Hive World]]{{Fn|1a}}, that lies far from any of its major war-zones{{Fn|2}}, and is home to the sprawling [[Hive]] city '''[[Varangantua''']]{{Fn|1a}}. The city has a population of billions and is so large that it has different climatic zones{{Fn|2}}. Because of its size, Varangantua has been subdivided into numerous districts, which are watched over by the [[Sanctioners]] [[Enforcers]]{{Fn|1b}} and are defended by the [[Alecto Urban]] [[PDF]] [[Regiments]]{{Fn|1c}}. The people of Alecto know nothing about the state of the galaxy and most are convinced that [[Xenos]] are not real{{Fn|2}}. The hive city has several enclaves belonging to the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] producing things such as high-grade servitors for off-world export. Most of these enclaves belong to the foremost [[Forge World]] in Alectos part of the Segmentum, [[Zhao-Arkkad]]. {{Fn|3a}}
Before the [[Imperium]] claimed the world, Alecto was home to a [[Human]] population and had a striving [[Chaos Cult|Cult]] called [[Salvia]]. The Cult had existed for thousands of years and when the first Imperial settlers arrived, the members of Salvia helped them to survive on Alecto. Once the Imperium gained a firm hold on the world, though{{Fn|1a}}, the Cult was forced to worship in secret for fear of being hunted by the [[Ministorum]].{{Fn|1c}}
