Verachia

Verachia is the ruined capital city of Mercatorius Prime and de facto capital of the Mercatorius System. The hive city grew as a prosperous settlement before its razing during the Primus Ruining. Following this, the city has become a place of gang violence, criminality, and military raids from its planetary defence forces.

Following the Gracchian Uprising, the city eventually was entirely lost to the Imperium, being controlled widely by the gangs of Gaio Graccho and the Genestealer Cults.

While war raged over the control of Mercatorius Prime, the gangs of Verachia continued to fight one another for control, seeking leverage over the warring factions seeking control over the city. Amongst these, remained the last bastions of Mercatorius System's security forces, with the Enforcers attempting to keep Verachia's gangs weak and divided, even in the aftermath of Graccho's unification.
