Overview

Badab once contained hives full of people whose world’s disputes with Imperial authority grew into secession and war. Most had no part in the decisions that brought the fleets. They lived in the places those fleets were sent to take.

The final siege left Badab Primaris ruined and its population almost annihilated. What remained passed under an Imperial Mission watched by the Star Phantoms. Accounts differ over just how completely the world was killed. They leave little doubt that the former hive society was gone. The surviving administration inherited ground on which the consequences of rebellion were far easier to demonstrate than any prospect of rebuilding.
