History & Background (Dossier)

Arcanum is an Imperial world located in Usani Subsector of Deneb Sector.

• The system contains an Imperial Research Station and is under military rule.
• The system has been interdicted by the Imperium since 500 due to an airborne symbiotic spore.
• The system has been issued a Red Zone travel advisory.

Point of Interest: Anagathic Arcani Spore

This spore, the Arcani Spore, has adapted itself to the human body and alters human biochemistry to the point where leaving the planet is fatal.

• The spore, or some other agent on the planet, also has a mild anagathic effect on humans, doubling the average human lifespan.
• Research Station Alpha was built by the Imperium in 656 to study the pathology of these symbiotic processes.
• As a result of the symbiote and the world’s subsequent interdiction, Arcanum is a center for smuggling and secure communications rackets, and also serves certain criminal elements as the ultimate in active retirement homes.
