CASE CONTEXT: RUIN OF XANDI III
ASTROPOLITICAL ABSTRACT: Xandi III is an ecclesiastic world of average gravity and atmosphere, as far as habitable planets go, in them middle of the DANTAN SUBSECTOR in SECTOR HERACLES, SEGMENTUM TEMPESTUS. The planet is the traditional Seat for the Cardinal Palatine of Sector Heracles. Historically, Xandi III was instrumental in reclaiming the Sector after the Horus Heresy. The planet survives on the donations of the Emperor's faithful and the profits of pilgrimage. Since the planet was settled for it's spiritual significance, instead of economic significance, it has become dependant on the Sector Community to allow it to continue to thrive.

Cardinal Palatine Vorn has yet to make planetfall on Xandi III to confirm his ascension to the Seat of Xandi.
RECENT HISTORY: THE MEMORANDUM originally did not affect Xandi much, since their connection to the rest of the Imperium is chiefly spiritual rather than political, a dangerously shortsighted opinion. Yet, the sector's economic downturn at the beginning of M42, sparked in large part because of the economic downturn put a great deal of strain on Xandi's income. To compensate, and because he disagreed with paying Terra's Token to a Sector High Governess, Cardinal Palatine Magsumas Prater refused to submit to the sector's authority. The Adeptus Arbites refused to prosecute for two years, claiming a lack of law to govern the peculiarity of the ditiation and a lack of any legal precedent. While the legators of the Adeptus Arbites searched through their emmense archives for a legal stance of the matter, Inquisitor Dellana of the Ordo Hereticus ordered that the Cardinal submit to the Sector Governess and pay the tithe, in addition to any money owed from previous failures to pay.
Cardinal Magsumas Prater tried to comply, but the planetary recession spiraled into a severe depression. Popular resentment against the Sector government stewed, allowing demagogues to rise in the street. Riots eventually saw the collapse of the planet's systems. Finally the Adeptus Arbites concluded they had grounds to prosecute Cardinal Prater for tithe evasion and executed him. The minimal detatchment present to keep order on the planet was insufficient because they misjudged the magnitude of the response and was overrun and themselves killed by the mob. M42.018 Madness, riots and poverty consumed the planet. Millions die from hunger and violence.
Warlords and Demagogues struggled with one another for the power to control the starving population. Eventually, a preacher named Rafael gains control of the capital city and claims the title of Cardinal and claims all the trappings of the high Cardinal. It takes another year for him to consolidate power, but through the power of his own personality and conviction, and the weariness of conflict in the denizens of Xandi, he gained legitimacy in the eyes of the people on that planet.

Preoccupied with an insurrection on a strategically important mining world, the Sector lacks the forces to control Xandi. The False Cardinal Rafael begins his campaign to bring the emperor's misguided flock into his fold across the Sector. M42.020 Inquisitor Dellana names Rafael Hereticus Extremis.
