Hive Damocles

"Ivory Towers may fall but from walls of steel come safety and security."

General Information
Hive Damocles is the heart of Malfi, the Capital of the iniquity that terrorizes the surface of this once beautiful world. Here House Sinaeus, rulers of the Malfian System, hold their power and use it to further their own lunatic goals, many of which exist to the detriment of the Imperium that they claim to serve. Due to its importance and inherently corrupt nature, Hive Damocles is home to a small permanent Cabal of Inquisitors whose true reason for staying is once kept secret beyond even the highest echelons of the Imperium.

Despite such strict security, Hive Damocles has seen more than its fair share of mutant and cultist uprisings, often involving the very men meant to be protected. The Cult known only as The Masque holds heavy sway in Hive Damocles, it's tenants of excess and bounty appealing to the demented nature of those who sit at the top of the Malfian Nobility, and as such the Arbites and the Inquisition both pay much attention to the ongoing activity within the Hive.

Now the city is a ruin, a literal hellscape that mirrors the souls of the now burning remains. For while the Hive has withstood the test of ages, it could not hope to resist the carnage that follows in the wake of the Covenant and their desperate plan saw the death of a relic that had survived for millennium. Nought survived the aftermath for little could endure the sudden impact of a 3 Kilometer long Prison Barge with its Warp Engine still intact and the havoc that followed condemned the billions beneath to an eternity of agony and suffering that defies comprehension.
