===Storm Kingdoms===
The Storm Kingdoms are a union of systems and planets under the rule of the Storm Hammer Legion, organized into a feudal system not unlike that of the former Imperium of Man. The Storm Kingdoms encourage self-reliance of their planets, ensuring that Kingdoms are able to defend themselves in times of need. While they each have a sizable level of independence, the downside is a certain amount of infighting amongst the various political factions and nobles. The Storm Kingdoms field vast armies of human soldiers which are expected to fight alongside the Storm Hammer Legion. These armies are under the control of the various planetary lords but are expected to show deference and loyalty to the Legion, which maintain both human and Astarte advisers (especially Librarians) in multiple levels of the chain of command. All worlds pay tithe to the Storm Hammers and the Legion commander who is the symbolic head of all the Storm Kingdoms. The non-Astartes miltiary forces of the Storm Kingdom include 'Imperial' soldiers and exiled Mechanicum Skitarii as well as Knightly Houses. Because the Storm Kingdom has few, if any Titans left, it relies more extensively on the Knights.
* '''Lostregia:''' Home world of the Storm Hammers. The planet remain a radioactive hell-hole where people live inside radiation-shielded fortresses. It remain one of the primary recruitment world of the Legion.
* '''Augustine''', '''Stormport''' and '''Lithios''': Called 'the trinity', these three fortress-worlds are the primary military bases of the Storm Kingdoms.
* '''Dendrobium''': The 'technological' capital of the Storm Kingdoms and under direct supervision from the Storm Hammers. Primarily ran by descendants of the Adeptus Mechanicus affiliated with the Legion during the Crusade days.

===Imperium Minorum===
"The precedence of the Imperium Minorum is a common view in the Imperium Minorum, but one must know that the foundations of the Jade Empire also date back to the crusade era. Now, Minorum was a pre-extant domain during the Dark Age, so whether or not we can really count it as a founding or if Alexios merely inherited a pre-extant domain can be disputed. On the other hand, the foundations of our own state are wholly distinct and spring forth clearly from the union of worlds conquered and forged into an empire by our own illustrious primarch."
--from The Decline and Fall of the Western Empire by Eouddar Gibzon of the Jade Empire, M38

New Constantine isn't actually Alexios' homeworld, it's the first world his expeditionary fleet came across which refused peaceful compliance. He decided to make an example of them and burned their world to ash, rebuilding it as his own new Imperial world. He could easily have been discovered in Segmentum Solar, or western Ultima segmentum, or anywhere really.

How about this: Alexios's pod lands on Alexandria, a world in central Pacificus. Alexandria was a world of libraries, deep vault ships launched from Terra long ago brought library records as a sort of time capsule, seeking to conserve the knowledge of mankind as best they could, should something terrible happen to Terra. Alexios rose quickly among the clerk-priests of Alexandria, and soon he ruled the planet as Master of Relics. One night Alexios has a dream of a golden angel, coming in the clouds like a great beacon. The next day, his dream proved prophetic as the Emperor of Mankind, Beloved by all, came to Alexandria. Compliance was swift and welcome. Alexios was given command of his XIIth legion and the 99th Expeditionary fleet. Alexios chose to lead his expedition deeply through the warp to expand his father's realm, and found hmself in the far east of Ultima Segmentum. Many worlds knelt to Alexios as he had knelt to the Emperor, but eventually one stood defiant. The name of that world was expunged from all records of the 99th Expedition or the XIIth legion. All of the inhabitants of the world were purged, the seas boiled away, and the mountains bulldozed with massive constructor fleets. The planet was rebuilt with Imperial colonists, and named Constantine. Alexios made it his formal seat, establishing a military bureaucracy in the great basilicas of his golden city. From there, the Angels conquered many more worlds in the name of the Emperor of Mankind, Beloved by All.

The domain of the [[Fists of Mars]].

gigantic space stations and forges surrounded by moons hollowed out and use as reactors, tethered to what they orbit by numerous sky hooks these our some of the more simple  designs incorporated into the forge spaces grandiose machine, each factory a cog which helps the mechanism function. the bulk of the forge spaces population have never set foot on a natural planet and instead inhabit vast space ecologies and floating cities that meander through real space not dissimilar to an asuryani craft worlds. orbital docks feed endless factories dirtside and if any army were to invade these fortresses they would likely become lost in their labyrinthine generators and smelters or drowned by a tide of servitors
