Summary

On the far side of the galaxy, in the Eastern Fringe where blackness begins, live the Morkai and their interstellar empire. Dark towers rise from the surface of their worlds, and spire-vessels fly between planets, sailing through pitch-black tunnels devoid of the warp's unnatural forces. This is the nature of the Morkai; in the shadow of the Imperium is a dark reflection of Man's black soul, one that has manifested through its own efforts as humanity had. For years the Morkai had weathered the forces of the Imperium, bringing mere man and great Astartes to heel with thunder and fire.

Only with the mightiest generals among them could the Morkai defend their nascent empire from the Imperium, and only the mightiest generals are fit to lead them. At the head of Morkai society is their esteemed leader, the First Terek of the Morkai, who ruled by virtue of luck and skill. Chosen by lottery from the commanding Atamans of the Morkai hosts, the First Terek commands the entirety of the Morkai empire, counseled by those who once were First Tereks like them, now ministers and mayors for the spire-cities of the empire. From head to toe the state exists for war, and its infrastructure is built around the assumption of military action. This is not without good reason, for the Morkai are beset by beasts of Terra, and so must be ever vigilant in their defense.

Warp Relays

Though they play a dangerous game, the Morkai do not risk their fleets. Massive warp relays connect the worlds of the empire, carving long and wide tunnels for the spire-vessels to travel through quickly. Though reliable, sparing Morkai ships from a brunt of the warp's energies, these relays only take ships as far as they can make their tunnels, mere dozens of lightyears.

The warp relays themselves, pinnacles of Morkai engineering, are massive stations on the edge of a system. One system may hold two, or three, or even ten warp relays. The Morkai's home system, for example, contains dozens of warp relays pointed towards many different stars, pulsating frequently as traffic passes through the system. Precious assets they are, directing armadas through the warp, that any threat to them shall be prioritized against almost all else.

The respect for the leaders of warp relays' teams are on par with generals. Considering the importance and complexity of warp relays it is no surprise these leaders hold the rank of Ataman, and thus qualify to become Tereks and lead the empire as if they were great commanders themselves.

Biomachinations

The Morkai are unfettered, shameless even, shaping life to fit their needs. Bioconstructs, a fusion of machine and bioengineered flesh, subservient to their masters in every way. Bioconstructs serve in every form, from juggernauts of war to gears in the industries of the empire, coming in a myriad of shapes and sizes from microscopic nanites to colossal biotitans and even auxiliary voidships.
