	The [[Iron Hands]] is a bit of a unique [[Space Marine]] Chapter, as their structure is less of a direct military stratocracy and more of a system resembling a parliamentary democracy, with their [[Chapter Master]]-equivalents being elected in and out with term limits. So it is not too much of a surprise to find out that the Iron Hands themselves have its own private fiefdom akin to that of [[Ultramar]], but to a lesser extent.

	The '''Medusan Reach''' is a loose dominion of Imperial worlds and valued protectorates, scattered across Segmentum Obscurus' Medusan Sub-sector, who offer the Iron Hands a tithe of their resources, in return for the Chapter's guaranteed protection. This strange confederacy of loosely-aligned worlds means that those worlds under the rule of the Iron Hands are exempt from usual [[Administratum]] tithes as, technically speaking, they are ''already'' paying those tithes to a separate political entity. The relationship isn't equal however. Despite being a confederacy, [[Medusa (Planet)\|Medusa]] holds the majority of the political, military and economic power in the region. As such, the relationship between Medusa and its protectorates is less of a unitary government and more like a business relationship.

The [[Iron Hands]] is a bit of a unique [[Space Marine]] Chapter, as their structure is less of a direct military stratocracy and more of a system resembling a parliamentary democracy, with their [[Chapter Master]]-equivalents being elected in and out with term limits. So it is not too much of a surprise to find out that the Iron Hands themselves have its own private fiefdom akin to that of [[Ultramar]], but to a lesser extant.

==Overview==
The '''Medusan Reach''' is a loose dominion of Imperial worlds and valued protectorates, scattered across Segmentum Obscurus' Medusan Sub-sector, who offer the Iron Hands a tithe of their resources, in return for the Chapter's guaranteed protection. This strange confederacy of loosely-aligned worlds means that those worlds under the rule of the Iron Hands are exempt from usual [[Administratum]] tithes as, technically speaking, they are ''already'' paying those tithes to a separate political entity. The relationship isn't equal however. Despite being a confederacy, [[Medusa (Planet)|Medusa]] holds the majority of the political, military and economic power in the region. As such, the relationship between Medusa and its protectorates is less of a unitary government and more like a business relationship.

On a whole, the Chapter's Iron Council takes no interest in these worlds' governance or affairs, provided that the Iron Hands' needs are met in full. The Reach's defence is currently the responsibility of Clan Sorrgol.

In the aftermath of the [[Great Rift]]'s creation, a great many worlds petitioned to join it. But, like any type of supranational organisation, the Iron Hands only permit worlds that can contribute ore and other raw materials to feed the Chapter's forges, and thus the Iron Hands' endless war. Once a world can no longer pay their tithe, the Chapter removes them from the Medusan Reach and ends their guaranteed protection.

The Reach's greatest ally is the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]], which is not surprising given the already close relationship between the Iron Hands and the AdMech.
