With your permission, I'd like to set up the Watch Fortress, probably with a thread to gather ideas first, much like this one.

I like the idea for Animos, with the Psykers working in secret, though they'd be a great risk of Daemonic possession without soul-bonding with the Emperor.

Also, here's an idea for a planet: Name: Beyonne

Faction: Imperium

Originally inhabited by a population of pacifistic aliens, they were quickly eradicated to use the planet as a base of operations and munitions depot. Located centrally along several important supply routes, Beyonne formed the heart of the ever-stretching frontlines of the Crusade. This lead to an eventual loss of importance, as the supplies it held were eventually shifted to more forward worlds in order to shorten supply lines.

Still featuring broad and stable infrastructure, the planet instead became a hub for regiments on leave, as its location allowed them to be redeployed quickly. With the soldiers came their and the various shades of entertainment ready to provide relaxation and distraction from the horrors of the crusade in exchange for hard Thrones. Beyonne turned into a hive for the gambling and pleasure industry, soon ruled by semi-criminal gangs and family-lead companies.

When the Crusade came to a halt and the new territories fell into the state of rebellion and disobedience, Beyonne's rulers recruited large amounts of soldiers to protect the planet and perserve its status quo. Over several decades, the planet kept its independence against other forces seeking to incorporate it into their empires. When the Imperium moved to seize control of the sector once more, Beyonne was quick to align themselves with the forces of the Emperor, fully well aware that they could not hold their own and that no one would come to their aid.

Superficially, the old crime-lords and all-controlling companies were rooted up, many of their members found guilty for failing to uphold the word of the Emperor. The structures enabling their rise originally prevailed, though and their posiitions were simply inherited by others. At the present day Beyonne is classified as a pleasure world, with sprawling, blistering cities providing all sorts of entertainment. Connected by long, inter-continental high-ways and rail-lines, semi-criminal gangs of bikers and illegal gambling parlors still hold a lot of influence over the common folk, just as much as the owners of the larger night clubs and casinos.

Its most prominent attraction are its races, held on the thousands of miles long high ways, in the sky over the sky scrapers or the untamed wilderness just beyond the city limits.

Regiments: Beyonnian Dragoons

Recruited from the Biker and Racer gangs roaming the streets of Beyonne, the Dragoons are a force that lacks discipline but is nonetheless effective in combat. As each regiment is raised from a single or several allied gangs, their specific culture can vary greatly, but they all share an affinity for rapid assaults and hit & run tactics.
