Calixian Conclave
The Calixian Conclave is an Inquisition Conclave that watches over the Calixis Sector. It has a long and complex history, some of which has been forgotten or mixed up with conflicting records.[1a]

Organisation
The Calixian Conclave is commanded by Inquisitor Lord Caidin, an eminently mysterious man,[2] who sits at the head of a High Council of Inquisitors. It has many sub-officios and conclavium councils though, which handle things on a more localised level. The Conclave has a vast amount of resources at its disposal, but most valuable of all are its field Inquisitors and their agents.[1b]
Although nominally unified, the Conclave is full of independent thinkers, radicals, factions, and cabals, some of whom have objectives completely at odds with those of others, and some of whom are at each others' throats. One of the most important cabals in the Conclave is the Tyrantine Cabal, which troubles itself with a prophecy that says the star Komus will devour human civilisation.[1b]
Base of Operations
The Tricorn officio is the main base of the Calixian Conclave, and is located in the Tricorn Palace on the planet Scintilla. There are however, many other bases, outposts, and fortresses to be found in the Sector, with at least one on or near every important or heavily-populated world. The Tyrantine Cabal is based out of the Bastion Serpentis on Scintilla's moon, Lachesis.[1b]
