Located in the galactic northwest of [[Segmentum Solar]],{{Fn|2a}} the Domain occupies a significant tract of space.{{Fn|1}} The capital world of the Moebian Domain is Atoma Prime. Although the Domain is sparsely populated, it offers important [[tithe]]s of fuel, arms, and soldiers to the wider Imperium.{{Fn|5}} Over this significant tract of space,{{Fn|1}} sparse clusters of planetary [[system]]s make up the Moebian Domain.
Long ago, [[Forge World]] [[Obscurus]] once supplied much of the Moebian Domain.{{Fn|4e3s}} A significant amount of old [[Cadia]]n battlegear is found across the Moedian Domain, but the reasons why isn't specified by history.{{Fn|4d3r}}
The stable [[warp route]]s and [[astropath]]ic communications from the Moebian Domain to the rest of the Imperium have been significantly disrupted by [[Warp storm]]s recently. This has essentially left the Moebian Domain isolated and cut off from the wider Imperium.{{Fn|7a4a}}
The area now known as the Moebian Domain was first colonised during the early [[Dark Age of Technology]]. Remnants of [[archeotech]] originating from this lost age have been found across the domain. Many of these relics have been thoroughly exorcised by the adepts of the [[Cult Mechanicus]], but more artifacts doubtless remain.{{Fn|5}} Wreckage of [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] [[Explorator Fleet|Exploratory fleet]]s have also been found in the Moebian Fringe.{{Fn|4f3t}}
===Fringe War===
Many [[Moebian Regiments]] are raised from Atoma's population, as well as other Moebian worlds. These [[guardsmen]], sometimes referred to colloquially as ''lasmen'', are often sent to fight in Fringe Campaigns all across the Moebian Domain's border territories. These regularly contested areas are sometimes referred to as the ''Moebian Fringe Region'' or simply the ''Fringe''. The Moebian population is largely kept ignorant of the true nature of the foes that threaten them. ''[[Darktide (Moebian Domain)|The Darktide]]'' is the general label given to these unspeakable threats constantly pressuring their borders. The same is said for the freshly raised Moebian regiments, until they begin serving their long meat-grinder tours in the Fringe War and finally see the true face of the Moebian Domain's nightmarish foes.{{Fn|1}}
On the Moebian Fringe there are war-torn [[Death world]]s{{Fn|7a4a}} and [[Feral World]]s where the [[Fringe War]], a war of pacification to hold back the Darktide, has been rumbling on for years.{{Fn|1}} The galactic north of the Domain is dotted with feral worlds and are the site of constant Fringe War battles to hold back the Darktide.{{Fn|3i}}
While most guardsmen serve faithfully, despite the physical and psychological trauma they face, some Moebian Lasmen are left broken by their long tours. The highly decorated and beloved [[Moebian 6th]] [[Regiment]] famed for their continual deployment to the most dangerous front-lines on the Moebian Fringe, became seduced or infected by some dark truth encountered while combating the Darktide. They have now brought the Darktide to the heart of the domain, Atoma Prime, the once home of many soldiers in the 6th. Their invasion of Tertium isn't simply for vengeance against what they endured in the Fringe War, but also to spread their liberating dark truth. In doing so, the Regiment hopes to free Atoma Prime from the chains and stagnant rubrics of Imperial rule.{{Fn|1}}
===War for Atoma===
{{main|Hive Tertium}}
In present day [[Era Indomitus]], the forces of [[Chaos]] have infiltrated Atoma Prime. A [[Chaos Cult]] known as [[Admonition (Chaos Cult)|Admonition]] had long been festering within [[Hive Tertium]] and now seeks to take control of the planet.{{Fn|6}} The Moebian 6th was on Atoma resupplying for another deployment to the front lines of the Fringe War during a blight outbreak and civilian uprising, unbeknownst to authorities both were the doing of the cultists. Authorities ordered the 6th to assist in quelling the uprising and quarantining the plague. However, once the [[Moebian 6th]] were in position, they revealed themselves as traitors and allied with the cultists.{{Fn|74}}{{Fn|2}}
[[Inquisitor]] [[Grendyl]] sent his warband aboard the [[Rogue Trader]] vessel, the ''[[Mourningstar]]'' to combat this threat. The ''Mourningstar'' would remain in orbit of Atoma Prime whilst the uprising occurred,{{Fn|74}} while the Inquisitor and other agents pursued heresy within Hive Tertium.{{Fn|7b4b}}
==History==
Under Barquette rule, reconquest of lost Imperial worlds in the Moebian Domain would begin. On Atoma Prime mining and resource extraction would be increased significantly. This would send the already wavering biosphere of Atoma into complete collapse. As vassal worlds and industry returned to the Domain much wealth would be consolidated on Atoma Prime.{{Fn|2}}
There would then be a transfer of power from the Barquettes to that of House Margrave in [[M36]], some refer to this dispute as a civil war. The bitter rivalry between the two houses would carry on to the present day.{{Fn|4a3o}}{{Fn|4b3p}}{{Fn|2}}
===M36 – M41: Margrave Rule===
Margrave rulership of the Moebian Domain would be stable and steadily prosperous. Imperial records don't mention any significant Fringe Wars comparable to those of M35 or M36. Planets of the Moebian Domain would continue to be reclaimed and new ones would be charted.{{Fn|2}}
An event known as the great Sector Collapse occurred three decades prior to the present day in the [[Era Indomitus]]. Many minor-noble houses were decimated. The few surviving heirs to this event had no property or holding left. The orphaned child-heirs had their records redacted and were sent to the [[Schola Progenium|Scholams]], giving rise to the slanderous rumour that this disaster wasn't as much of an accident as it initially appeared.{{Fn|4m3n}}
