Halo of Darkness
The Halo of Darkness was a cult located in the Calixis Sector.[1]
History
The Calixis Sector sits close to the galactic rim, bordered by the Halo Stars. Out in the darkness of the void, beyond the gaze of the God-Emperor, things inhuman and unimaginable are said to dwell. Recently, the Ordos Calixis uncovered a cult calling itself the Halo of Darkness that appeared to be made up of a cabal of ship captains, some even holding ranks within the Imperial Navy. The cult would take hundreds of people out to unknown destinations within the Halo Stars and would then return these people to their lives, though altered somehow and evidently not themselves.[1]
Fearing some kind of xenos infiltration of the sector, the Inquisition moved quickly and smashed apart the Halo of Darkness. Unfortunately, they were unable to discover the cult’s destinations within that forbidding area of space. Some within the Ordos say the purge moved too quickly and vital clues were lost, whilst others argue that by moving as quickly as they did a terrible disaster was narrowly averted. Whatever the case, the search for those individuals touched by the cult and the true power behind them continues.[1]
