# Enemies of Humanity on Asterion A list of forces in opposition to KG-Co and the Imperium, with references as to their confirmed or likely origins. # The Seeded Church (Archenemy) -Our initial scouting of the [Maekla Combine's ](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/chapter/maekla-combine-defunct "Maekla Combine")headquarters prior to executing the[ raid ](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/the-maekla-combines-false-flag-operationraid "The Maekla Combine's False Flag Operation/Raid")against them revealed a small church in which [Quint](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/specialist-lazarus-quint "Quinten Cutter") sensed a taint of chaos, best translated as a "Seed" of such corruption. Though this was noted in our analysis, no further action could be taken until the Combine's forces had been removed from the area. -It was further noted that the Headquarters of the Combine involved a defunct Voidship, including a functioning and active Gellar Field. Such measures are not typically required in the Materium, but we deduced that this precaution was likely linked to the same psychic activity Quint had detected in the church. -During the attack on the Maekla Combine, an EMP caused by the death of a [Shard Host](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/artifact-shard-entity "Artifact: Shard Entity") deactivated the Gellar Field; as predicted, this cause a rupture to form in the church, through which demonic entities began to invade. These enemies were dispatched and the Field reactivated; however, how the veil of reality was initially weakened in this location has yet to be determined. Concerns of garnering unwanted attention from [the Inquisition](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/chapter/the-inquisition "The Inquisition, Retinue of Lord Inquisitor Kabella Vyne (Ordo Hereticus)") has prevented further investigation of this phenomenon. -Quint has indicated that the psychic signature of the demons that emerged from the rupture was similar to those encountered in the [Purge of Bluehull-92](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/purgation-of-the-plague-in-bluehull-92-archenemy "Purgation of the Plague in Bluehull-92 (Archenemy)"), and that of whatever force is contained with the [Nemesis Seal.](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/the-nemesis-seal-xenos-archenemy "The Nemesis Seal (Xenos, Archenemy)") # The Nemesis Seal (Xenos, Archenemy) -Evidence has been discovered of a Psychic and Xenotechnological Seal restraining a chaotic force beneath the surface of Asterion. The construction of this seal appears to be centered on the planet's [volcano.](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/the-asteriicinquefoilsnemesis-xenos-heavy-encryption/page/the-volcanic-seal "The Volcanic Seal") -[Quint](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/specialist-lazarus-quint "Quinten Cutter") has indicated, through his psyniscience and connection to the [Nemesis Device](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/the-asteriicinquefoilsnemesis-xenos-heavy-encryption/page/artifact-nemesis-device-redressor "Artifact: Nemesis Device (Redressor)"), that the sealed force feels similar to those encountered in the [Purging of Bluehull-92](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/purgation-of-the-plague-in-bluehull-92-archenemy "Purgation of the Plague in Bluehull-92 (Archenemy)"), and the demons encountered at the [Seeded Church](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/the-seeded-church-archenemy "The Seeded Church (Archenemy)") during the [Maekla Combine Raid.](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/the-maekla-combines-false-flag-operationraid "The Maekla Combine's False Flag Operation/Raid") -[The Inquisition](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/chapter/the-inquisition "The Inquisition, Retinue of Lord Inquisitor Kabella Vyne (Ordo Hereticus)") has been maintaining observation of [First Landing](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-locations/page/first-landing "First Landing"), where the seal is located. # Heretical Navigator and Voidborn (Archenemy) (The following intelligence has been confirmed to be related to actions of [Clan Pelnikt](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/page/clan-pelnikt "Clan Pelnikt"), and the [plans of Lady von Tarquinius](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/chapter/intentions-of-lady-tarquinius "Intentions of Lady Tarquinius")) (Following the discovery of their [operation in Void Dock 102](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/operation-on-port-lysander-void-dock-102 "Operation on Port Lysander (Void Dock 102)"), the Starlight's Boon has entered Warp and not been seen in the Asterion system, taking the Lady Navigator and Clan Pelnikt with it. It would appear that their plans have been disrupted for the time being.) -[The Major's](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/major-verity-st-ardentia "Major Verity St. Ardentia") security forces apprehended individuals clandestinely investigating [Bluehull-92](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/chapter/bluehull-92 "Bluehull-92") using a strange detection device. This device was later determined to indicate the presence of psychic individuals within a short radius. -Standard and psychic interrogation of these infiltrators indicates heretical sympathies, or at least a lack of faithfulness to Him on Terra and the Imperium of Man. In addition, it has been confirmed that these agents were in the service of [Lady von Tarquinius](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/page/lady-navigator-mitereska-von-tarquinius "Lady Mitereska von Tarquinius"), though due to a psychic "traplock" imposed on the mind of the scanned subject, death now poses a barrier to any external corroboration of this fact. -The tattoos worn by these and other Voidborn who have expressed interest in finding [Wynnyf](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/wynnyf-von-bjekt-location-unknown-likely-deceased "Wynnyf von Bjekt (Location Unknown, Likely Deceased)") have come to be regarded as indication of service to [DeWonti](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/chapter/dewonti-trade-consortium-absent "DeWonti Trade Consortium") interests and [the Lady Navigator's plots](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/chapter/intentions-of-lady-tarquinius "Intentions of Lady Tarquinius"). -The attack that occurred during the [Night of Revenge](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/asterion-customs-and-history "Asterion Customs and History") on KG-Co's headquarters is suspected to have been perpetrated by two independent factions; one appears to be the remnants of the [Maekla Combine](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/chapter/maekla-combine-defunct "Maekla Combine"), though their heavily drugged state could indicate use by a different organization with the intent of leading our assumptions astray. The other infiltrator, a powerful psyker who killed a guard, deployed a thermite charge to knock out the Habblock's power, and dealt significant injury to team members, perished in a warp explosion and left no evidence nor indication of employment. However, there is a solid probability that he was in the service of the Navigator as well, though other enemies of the company naturally cannot be ruled out on speculation alone. # Tech Heresy (Xenos, Archenemy, Blasphemy against the Omnissiah) -See [The Gloam's Research](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/reopened-the-gloams-projects "The Gloam's Studies") -See [Asterii Devices ](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/the-asteriicinquefoilsnemesis-xenos-heavy-encryption/chapter/artifacts-and-technology "Artifacts and Technology")(Possible Orthodoxy) -See [The Shard Gun](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/artifact-shard-entity "Artifact: Shard Entity") -See [Vitality Transference Investigation](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/the-asteriicinquefoilsnemesis-xenos-heavy-encryption/page/assessment-evidence-of-heretical-vitality-transference "Assessment: Evidence of Heretical Vitality Transference") (Possible heretical use of orthodoxy technology) -See [VIIR](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/magos-logis-eizen-viir-c53 "VIIR") (Nature confirmed to not be chaos related) -See [Archmagos Sojourner Wakes](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/page/archmagos-sojourner-wakes-deceased "Archmagos Sojourner Wake") (deceased, and therefore no longer a threat) -See [Anvephone Traquiel](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/page/anvephone-traquiel-deceased "Anvephone Traquiel (Deceased)") (deceased, and research has been largely acquired) -See [Possessed Servitors](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/possessed-servitors-the-golden "Assessment: Possessed Servitors") (Possible Orthodoxy) # Known Mutants, Witches, and Possible Cultists -See [Palinea Traquiel](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/page/palinea-traquielthe-golden "Palinea Traquiel (Status Uncertain)") (Deceased) -See [Wynnyf von Bjekt](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/wynnyf-von-bjekt-location-unknown-likely-deceased "Wynnyf von Bjekt (Location Unknown, Likely Deceased)") -See the [Priest of Breath](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/page/priest-of-breath "Priest of Breath") -See [Procuratia](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/procuratia "Procuratia") and [Lady von Tarquinius](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/page/lady-navigator-mitereska-von-tarquinius "Lady Mitereska von Tarquinius") -See [Dock Cultists](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/major-investigations-heavy-encryption/page/cultists-infiltrating-the-dock "Cultists Infiltrating the Dock") (Nullified)
