Ioxian Conclave

Also known as "Bassenheim High Conlave" and "Conclave of Bassenheim", Ordos Bassenheim is stylized name for tri-sectorial inquisitorial conclave in Bassenheim Triangle. Its origins date all the way back to the end of M33, when all three sectors in Triangle were formed.

Faction's main duties include recording inquisitor's reports that act inside Bassenheim Triangle, apprehending and judging rogue-inquisitors as well as nominating lord or lady title on outstanding inviduals within the ranks of Holy Inquisition.

Origins
The origins of "Ordos Bassenheim" trace back to M34, but let's start from the late M33.

104th Crusade Ultima was launched in the area, led by numerous but now forgotten warlords and generals of Imperial Guard. The Hammer of the Emperor smashed through the systems, wrecking alien and non-Imperial human empires into ground grinding their bones to dust and removing the very scent of them of the great palette of galaxy. This is how Kjipr (and Carollon) sector was formed in 681 and Iox sector in 721.M33.

Carollon sector (current Trail of Saint Seren) gained its short-lived independence in late M34, when Lord Militant Governor of Kjipr launched a personal crusade towards galactic eastern borders of twin-sectors. It was then, when Carollon sector gained its status as independent sector and the Carollons were set as sector's governors.

Inquisitor Bassenheim
Inquisitor Victor Bassenheim was enthusiasthic scholar in late M34, who studied the natural phenomena of the galaxy. He also did great research about the Eldars who then were scattered in the Void, aimlessly sailing its endless seas. Victor Bassenheim was especially interested in a nebula, that was named after him during his early career. Bassenheim Nebula's strange, and by Victor's own beliefs, unique charasteristics made the area extremely interesting.

It is known, that Victor gathered many kinds of scientists, scholars, savants and adepts and established research center deep within the nebula. There the Victor's Cabal tried to figure out the nebula's secrets.

Inquisitor Victor Bassenheim was regrettably driven mad and his works became no more than scribblings of a madmen, he was burned as heretic in last century of 34th millennium. Before this, Bassenheim's cabal of scholars had grown so large and so influential, that it was named as conlave and more accurately; Victor's Conclave. Victor's Conclave was no more a mere gathering of scientists but a sectorial conclave of inquisitors and their associates. Finally the conclave grew so big, that it was introduced as a minor Ordo of Inquisition, "Ordo Bassenheim". This Order was nevertheless dispatched when Victor Bassenheim turned out to be lunatic and heretic but the name lived on. Instead of forming three separate conclaves for three rather small sectors, it was decided then and there, that Kjiprian Conclave, Ioxian Conclave and Ordo Bassenheim were united as tri-sectorial conclave. Ordos Bassenheim, or more appropriately Sanctis Ordos Atra Bassenheim Nebula; Holy Orders of the Black Nebula of Bassenheim, was created.

Even though Victor Bassenheim was burned as heretic, his last name lived on as during his lifetime he was better known as "scholar Victor", this way he was not associated to names such as Bassenheim Nebula, Bassenheim Triangle and Ordos Bassenheim. If one was to look for Imperial records about Bassenheim Nebula, scholar Victor and Ordos Bassenheim, he would most likely come into conclusion that inquisitor Bassenheim was in fact a different person than mad scholar-heretic Victor.
