The '''Prol System''', known colloquially as the '''Scrivener's Star''' , is a planetary system in the [[Calixis Sector]] which contains ten minor planetoids.{{fn|2}}
===History and Strife===
The system was ceded to the [[Administratum]] in the sector's early days. The planetoids that orbit Prol are barely habitable and of no economic worth, but are used as a vast depository and data store. In more recent history, it is described as the best known strife within the Administratum in the Calixis Sector, as the planetoids are system is suffering from a chronic shortage of space and [[Prol IX]], the seat of the sector's [[Decatalogues of Prol|hereditary adept class]], begins to reach capacity.{{fn|1a}}
The sector's Administratum adepts are divided between two groups, the Centurists, who wish to relocate to the forbidden world of Prol X, and the Pyratics, who wish to destroy the ancient records on Prol I and erect new temples.{{fn|1a}} The disagreement has more recently turned violent, with sporadic killings and sabotage becoming commonplace on Prol IX. Meanwhile, the servile classes under the Administratum has become restless and unruly, and cult groups have begun springing up to exploit misrule and uncertainty. As such, the [[Inquisition]] considers the system a bomb tinderbox waiting to go offignite.{{fn|2}}
The system has a population of 60 million,{{fn|2}}, and stable [[Warp routes]] with [[Dreah]] and the [[Scarus Sector]].{{Fn|1b}}
