The Septiim System is one of the breadbaskets and warehouses of the Imperial Frontier.

There was, at the time of the establishment of the Subsectors that eventually defined the politics of the region, a push to make the Septiim system a Subsector Capital World. This motion did not make it far in the Naxos and Drumnos peerage, since the obvious possibility of a Pasture Gate system putting its own priorities above all others and neglecting the rest of the region was impossible to ignore. More to the point, the systems near Septiim are largely useless beyond bare-bones mining, and cannot support life. It would be a Subsector Capital with no nearby worlds to administrate, whereas Delving is both a bustling economic hub and at the middle of a large cluster of habitable worlds. Thus, the Septiim Economic Zone, over which the system does rule, is awkwardly crammed into a corner of the Delving Subsector, despite having a larger economy and a vastly more numerous military than Delving.

As a whole, the system has a well-deserved reputation as a navigational hazard. The Warp currents leading to the system are weak and thready, while the currents leading away are shockingly fast. While this has obvious benefits for exporting goods and sending the Blue Daggers on missions to other systems, it does make imports time-consuming. The system also has an asteroid belt and many thin belts of comets, which occasionally knock loose and fall towards Septiim itself. Finally, the dual moons of Septiim Tertius make approaching that planet a chore for inexperienced helmsmen.

Also of note is that the system’s culture leads them to discount Servitors from their population totals, thanks to peculiar interpretations of Ecclesiarchal doctrine about the value of human worth. Thus, there is no official record of servitors in the system anywhere, including in the Gargantuan. This is not unique to Septiim, either, and many of the worlds in the Sector with Septiimi colonists share this quirk.

Adept Presence	Adeptus Administratum, Adeptus Ministorum, Adeptus Astra Telepathica (Astropathic Choir on orbital platform Choral Reef), Adeptus Arbites, Adeptus Astartes, Adeptus Mechanicus
Climate	Temperate, with small polar ice caps, and global forest
Geography	Small, shallow oceans, large polar ice caps. The entirety of the land mass of the planet is covered in thick forests, with low-quality soil and rapid, thin rivers. Its few oceans are highly saline. There are large deposits of manganese, zinc, and iron in its crust
Gravity	Primus has 1.08 Terran Gravity
Day Length	20 Terran Hours
Economy	Gelt Thrones and Silver Thrones
Principal Exports	Timber, Zinc, Manganese, Petrochemicals, Paper, Soldiers
Principal Imports	Copper, Diamond, Finished Goods, Adamantium, Ceramite Components, Fish, Aircraft/hovercraft Parts
Countries and Continents	No national divisions, eight continents
Military	Septiim Defenders (high quality PDF), Septiim Sharks (medium quality Scions)
Contact with other Systems	Primus has extensive contact with the other worlds in the system, and serves as the focal point for military operations in the Economic Zone and beyond. Most of the adjacent systems to the Zone are beneficiaries of Septiim’s economic output, and some contribute finished goods to its economy
Tithe Grade	Decuma Particular (theoretically, the planet could exempt itself from paying the tithe as an Astartes homeworld, but elects not to)
Population	7,000,000
