Vanqualis is a planet that lies in the Obsidian System somewhere in the Scaephan Sector.[1a]
Overview
The planet is home to the Falken family, which rules it in a near-feudal state.[1a] Its only contact with the Imperium is when it pays its yearly tithes.[1a] It holds two continents, Herograve, which is covered in hive cities, and Nevermourn, the jewel of the Obsidian system.[1a]
History
In M41, one of Vanqualis' largest cities, and the capital city, Palatium, was overrun by an Ork horde.[1a] The 901st Penal Legion,[1c] along with the Soul Drinkers[1b] and the Howling Griffons[1d] Space Marine Chapters responded to the planet's plea for help.[1a]
