Editing Aprior Sector (section)

===Marion Subsector===

The Marion Subsector faces the center of the galaxy, so it faces the Imperium and the Tau Empire.  As such, it receives the most Imperial and Tau traffic.

====Marion System====

In mid-M39, this system was settled by a Commandery of the [[Sisters of Battle | Order of the Sacred Rose]].  The [[Eldar]] attempted to dislodge them, as Chatur-Marion (the fourth world) was a Maiden World, though the actual Commandery is on Dvi-Marion, the second world.  When the Sisters learned what the [[Knights Inductor]] had in mind for the Sector, and especially their [[heresy|unusual]] (to say the least) policies, they decided to stage a coup, or failing that, to burn the whole Sector to cinders.  They were stopped when the Knights' fleet destroyed their orbital assets and reformed them into the Order of Reason's Light; since then, they have used their expertise in hunting and destroying heretic cults to grow their influence, expand their numbers, and become the dominant institution in their system and Sub-Sector and a major player in Sector politics.

====Norion====

A border system that tends to suffer heavy losses from outside attackers, especially in the [[Tau Empire]]'s Third Sphere Expansion.  Its history, combined with proximity to the [[Imperium]] and distance from major population and government centers in the central Sector means that it is the most pro-Imperial system in the Sector.

Norion V is the most populous world in the Norion System.  After an economic depression, resentment over the various non-human populations (inflamed by Puritan Preachers sent by the [[Ecclesiarchy]]) boiled over, resulting in anti-Sector protests, riots against Radical Preachers and their allies, and an attempt to withdraw from the Sector Charter.  The Norion System was Inquisitor Lord Damnos's first target for his Crusade.
