Supressio System

The Supressio System is often referred to as the Supressio Asteroid Field, comprised of the remains of the Supressio, Ankorg, Mephis and Efesus planetary systems that run like a scar along the coreward edge of the Dalthus Sector. What lay waste to these systems is unknown though some evidence suggests these system were destroyed shorty after the Horus Heresy. These systems are also referred to as the Lost Worlds. The only intact and permanently inhabited planet within the Supressio Asteroid Field is Van Nielsson’s World and so only the one place within the Supressio System that has a regular Imperial Navy presence.

Within the Supressio Asteroid Field there are a multitude of mining bases on the larger asteroids and small habitable moons. The value of the space mining is immense so the dangers of being so far from patrolled Imperial space are worth the risks. The Supressio Asteroid Field is a haven for pirates, outlaws, the dregs of humanity and even some xenos species.

Van Nielsson's World
Mining World

Van Nielsson’s World, is the only intact planet within the Supressio System, a productive mining world on the outskirts of the Dalthus Sector. Since colonisation the planet has been ruled by the Van Nielsson Alliance. The Alliance employs vast labour gangs and are experts in all standard mining techniques, often hiring personnel to mining colonies.

Due to it being the only world within sub light travel of the asteroids in system, it has close links with Mining Colony Delta 654 and the other smaller colonies in the system. The majority of mined produce passes through Van Nielsson’s World before going out into the wider Dalthus Sector. Due to this the Administatum have set up assay offices on the planet so the right imperial tithes are paid.

The Imperium has set up two penal colonies on the asteroid moons Elmina and Gor’ee. Those incarcerated work in ore processing factories before the refined ore is shipped out to other systems.

Mining Colony Delta 654 - Supressio Asteroid Field
A collective of mining stations run by the UMC (United Mining Colonies) based in the asteroid fields of the Supressio System. The name originates from the first colony designated Delta 654, whose leader developed relations with the neighbouring colonies to provide joint protection and support in these far reaches of space. Since its establishment more colonies have joined until it became a cartel in its own right. Relations between the Van Nielsson Alliance and the UMC are cordial but on occasion conflicts have arisen over mining rights and transportation links.
