Skandra Prima

A small planet located at the southeastern reaches of Segmentum Ultima, Skandra Prima is a world of vast plains, crystal blue seas and grant cities teeming with life. Its climate is mild and pleasant, as if the planet is locked in eternal, sunlit spring, lit upon by the Maega, the twin stars of the system. It is from this gem among the stars that Absalom Vaughn hails, and he rules over it as King of Skandra, taking great pride in the edenic beauty of his world and the happiness of his people. The fertile, verdant valleys of the planet form the basis of a strong agriculture which serves as the steady foundation for Skandra's economy. Small, picturesque villages are scattered through the countryside, populated by farmers and villagers. Meanwhile, the cities, majestic and alluring, are packed with buildings of remarkable architectural beauty, serving as both homes and shops of the middle and upper classes. The commercial districts and markets are perpetually filled with the lively buzz of people going along their business. The wealthier districts are home to the wealthier members of society as well as the nobility, and adorned with palatial manors and splendid estates. For all the aforementioned reasons, it should come as no surprise that Skandra Prima has earned the classification of Paradise world in Imperial records, and constitutes a popular attraction for the Imperial elite.

After the world was ravaged by the war against Antire and Fyressy, Absalom oversaw the rebuilding effort and ensured that the planet would be restored to its previous glory and even improved, seeing it as his debt and obligation to his people. His dedication to this noble cause, his great attention to the needs of his subjects as well as his valiant leadership during the world have earned him the wholehearted love of his people, and a dedication that few other Primarchs enjoy from their people. As such, the bond between the Black Stars and the Skandrans is much deeper than other Legions', and Legionaries are allowed to walk the cities they are garrisoned in and freely socialise with the crowds, who treat them with respect and reverence reserved only for the upper ranks of nobility.
