==Overview==
The world is governed by Calixis [[Sector Governor]] [[Marius Hax]]. It is a thriving Imperial hub that supports the largest planetary population in the territory. It is dominated by two vast hive cities, [[Hive Sibellus]] and [[Hive Tarsus]] which hold the majority of the planetary population. Despite the dominance of those two hives, the "offspring" communities, [[Ambulon]] and [[GunmetalCity]] City, contribute significantly to the planet's economy as well. Scintilla is a world where the powerful and wealthy compete with ruthless appetite. Magnificence is astonishing on Scintilla, from the wondrous fashions of the hive's nobility to the spectacle of the hives themselves. Landmarks like [[Lucid Palace]] and the [[Cathedral of Illumination]], are famous throughout the Calixis Sector.{{Citethis}}
It is also a world of corruption where members of noble houses are deluded by their wealth and status and the corruption and privilege runs deep in the culture of the high-born. Noble houses consider themselves (sometimes correctly) as above or outside Imperial law and can wield immense influence. Their attitude towards the lower-born is callous; it is not unknown for thrill-seeking degenerates from noble houses to prey upon lesser humans as a sport.{{Citethis}}
