CITY OF MERIDIAN STANDARD NOTES FULL
When the Tyranid threat was fully revealed, she assumed the full governorship of Meridian and allowed full access to Angel Forge to the Blood Ravens. Though she lacked vital intelligence, Acting Planetary Governor Derosa attempted to coordinate with the Blood Ravens task force in order to combat the xenos threat. With the dire threat of the Tyranids revealed, the governor abandoned the planet and fled, leaving his subordinate adjutant, Administrator Elena Derosa, in charge. Gregor Vandis, Meridian's planetary governor, largely ignored the Ork and Aeldari activity amongst his people, until the Asuryani raided a warehouse belonging to House Vandis, which contained pilfered Blood Ravens Chapter relics recovered from Typhon Primaris. Then the Farseer planned to destroy it to eliminate the Tyranid threat to her own craftworld but at the expense of destroying a vital source of manufacturing for the Blood Ravens and billions of Human lives. Meridian was the target of constant Craftworld Aeldari attacks and it was ultimately revealed that the Farseer Idranel of Craftworld Ulthwé had been planning to lure the entire splinter hive fleet to Meridian using the world's Human population as bait. A Blood Ravens Chapter task force was sent to defend the vital star system from the encroachment of the Tyranid menace. Sometime during the late 41st Millennium, in what became known as the First Aurelian Crusade, a splinter fleet of Hive Fleet Leviathan entered Sub-sector Aurelia intent on devouring all of its worlds. The intervention of outside Imperial forces proved necessary, and regiments of Cadian Shock Troops have been brought in to maintain control and discipline.ĭespite this, the machinations of Chaos continue to inspire corruption and heresy, picking away at Meridian's resolve.

The inevitable low morale and exhaustion of the PDF has led to rampant mutiny, desertion, and far worse, heresy.
Riots for basic supplies in the lower-spires are constant and widespread, and the planet's Planetary Defence Forces are stretched too thin with threats both at home and throughout the sub-sector. The constant battles of the last solar decade and the three Aurelian Crusades have taken their toll on this beleaguered Hive World and placed it in constant turmoil. Thaddeus' recruitment to the Blood Ravens, on the recommendation of Captain Davian Thule, was regarded with skepticism by the rest of the Chapter, but his hive-ganger instincts proved to serve him well once he became the leader of an Assault Squad. Before him, no native of Meridian had been recruited by the Blood Ravens for 700 standard years, because its people were regarded as physically weak and morally decadent by the rest of the sub-sector. Sergeant Thaddeus of the Blood Ravens Chapter was originally the leader of an underhive gang on Meridian. This ensures that Meridian maintains links with the Imperium at large. It is for this reason alone that the Imperial governor of the Aurelia Sub-sector treats the other planets under his rule as nothing more than a source of unending resources for Meridian's industrial complex. Meridian's ancient manufactorum hive city, Angel Forge, produces everything from household goods to Lasguns and Imperial aircraft and is the most important manufacturing facility in its sector.Īs a major industrial power, Meridian plays a vital role in the Aurelian Sub-sector, accounting for over 90% of the total population and economic output of the entire sub-sector. It features huge city-spires rising from urban landscapes the size of continents. Meridian is an Imperial Hive World and the capital world of the Sub-sector Aurelia of the Korianis Sector in the Ultima Segmentum.
