Background

The Praetors of Orpheus are stationed on the world of Beta Entebes II within a subterranean base called the Labyrinthe of Orphia.²

The technological lore of the Praetors of Orpheus is second only to that of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Many believe that the two are tied by more than shared service in the Emperor's name. The Praetors of Orpheus are highly active in the systems neighbouring Pavonis.⁴
