[[Arcanum (world)|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.
 
 
 
This 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 [[Anagathics|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.

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.
