Editing Nova Terra Interregnum (section)

===The Main Event===
When someone on the planet '''Nova-Terra''' had the wise idea to split from the Imperium and form their own council in the [[Segmentum Pacificus]], we can sympathize with the idea of separating from all of the religious furore spouting from Terra and establishing a government that was of a more appropriate "local" scale. It seems that they didn't want to truly leave the Imperium but rather sever the High Lords' authority from themselves but otherwise remain loyal to the Imperium (like what [[Huron Blackheart|Huron Blackheart]] tried, [[Badab War|with similar results]]).

But this writing comes from [[Games Workshop|GW]] so anything resembling common sense has to be purged with fire - and that's pretty much exactly what happened, though the Ur-Council made a good shot of it and ruled the segmentum for over 900 years. We can infer that the Ur-Council was an attempt in the Pacificus to establish a Council of Terra with actual power, given the name of the planet chosen to capital them was ''Nova '''Terra''''' and all and the council's own name basically means "original council" ('ur' means 'primeval/proto') or something like that. Most likely they believed they had to make a new Council of Terra without the Ecclesiarchy's control as the Emperor was the one who said the Council of Terra should rule the Imperium in his stead. Apparently obeying the Emperor is [[Extra Heresy|Heresy]].

Most of what we know about the Ur-Council tends to be in fluff surrounding the [[Dark Angels]] and there are strong hints that [[Cypher]], supported by other [[Fallen Angels]], was one of the Ur-Council's leaders and the Dark Angels were particularly active during this period. This is also where the [[Crassus Armored Assault Transport|Praetor launcher]] came from.
