Overview

Originally an uninhabited barren desert world the need for an isolated, though relatively nearby, supply depot for the Munitorum, Imperial Navy, and other assorted Imperial institutions led to the creation of the Poxwatch Fortress. Containing a significant portion of supplies and mothballed assets for subsector Makerus and bordering subsector Caligulas, the Poxwatch Fortress (commonly called 'The Watch' by stationed individuals) has continued to serve as a critical link in the Imperium's supply lines and war effort. Owing to the significant stores it possesses, the world is heavily defended with multiple Guard regiments, a Naval battlegroup, defenders from the Adeptus Mechanicus, and more who man its many bunkers and fort-complexes. Although it is a very appealing target for the enemies of the Imperium, the world has not suffered any serious invasion - the only fighting thus far either minor unrest or a sole plague outbreak necessitating zone purging. As it is only a depot and occasional staging ground the Poxwatch Fortress has no tithe, though it does maintain a PDF recruited from surplus laborers. Garrison duty is treated as either a cushy, easy assignment or a harsh punishment depriving them of combat depending on the temperament of the regiment - with many of the more veteran regiments and officers looking down on regiments who have served as garrison troops on the Poxwatch Fortress due to the perceived safety and laxity of those stationed there. To date the Poxwatch Fortress has been quiet and avoided the attention of the ruinous powers with the leading cause of death being industrial accidents, though it remains to be seen if this will change.
