Ur-Council
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Ur-Council was the ruling body of Nova Terra during the Nova Terra Interregnum. Secessionists, the Ur-Council dismissed the authority of the High Lords of Terra and claimed rule over all of Segmentum Pacificus, beginning a division that lasted for 9 centuries. Eventually in M35, the Ur-Council was attacked by a massive War of Faith of the Ecclesiarchy in an event known as the Cataclysm of Souls.[1]
It was suspected by the Dark Angels that the mysterious Cypher was a member of the Ur-Council, leading to a daring Ravenwing strike on Nova Terra. However when they arrived they failed to secure any prisoner and could not verify the rumor.[2]
