An island of relative peace and tranquillity within the Ryxes Sector, Aliantia is a prosperous Paradise World. Those with the means to do so flock to the planet to experience the stunning natural beauty of the so-called "Marble World", and to experience the many delights on offer in the exquisite coastal resorts.

The planet's native population are typically less fortunate, largely living in hive cities which are not too dissimilar to those found on normal hive worlds, though, at least when viewed from a distance, they are cleaner and more magnificent in their construction. So important to Governess Valita Gravlin Alfonist is the appearance of beauty, that all major manufactorums and other 'ugly' edifices are confined to the desert continent on the opposite side of the planet to her seat of power in the Shining Tower.

Valintorin is a reminder that whilst mankind has spread across the galaxy, it has not yet managed to completely dominate it. The jungle-covered world is officially classed as a Death World, due to its incredibly dangerous flora and fauna. Its only real utility lies in its use as a training ground for those regiments destined to fight in similar extreme conditions.

Despite the dangerous environment, or perhaps because of it, the planet is home to several tribes of semi-feral Orks, who pose a constant threat to the other worlds within the system. Anytime the threat is deemed too severe, forces are deployed to cull them as best as can be managed. As well as the Greenskins, a colony of Kroot have settled themselves within the jungle, though have thus far managed to evade detection by the Imperium.

A world only recently reincorporated into the Imperium, Fordian Alpha has a level of technology similar to that of pre-industrial Terra, though this is rapidly changing thanks to an order said to come from one of the Emperor's own sons.

The planet's tithe contributions are low; some limited resources are produced, but its main export is fresh recruits for the Astra Militarum, who value the hardy disposition of the natives, and their familiarity with some of the hardships of war.

An Aeldari Craftworld that has been traversing the Ryxes Sector for millennia, it is currently hidden in the Malica Vandras system using ancient technology allowing them to evade even the most sensitive of Imperial augers.

Should contact with the Imperium be required, Anhrathe Corsairs are contracted to act as intermediaries with those Rogue Traders willing to deal with them.
