Introduction
A s war rages throughout the Jericho Reach, the
C HAPTER I: T HE D EAD C ABAL
The Battle-Brothers of the Deathwatch have safeguarded the
Jericho Reach for millenia, from the days of the Jericho Sector
through the Long Night to the tribulations of the Achilus
Crusade. As the longest-standing Imperial organisation in the
Reach, the members of the Deathwatch have borne witness
to events which defy explanation and possess records of
phenomena unfathomable to even the most learned sages. A
small number of the Battle-Brothers of the Deathwatch and
a single Inquisitor have dedicated themselves to unravelling
these enigmas. This chapter contains a wealth of information
concerning this circle of warrior-scholars, the Dead Stations
they command, and the Battle-Brothers assigned to serve the
Long Dead Vigil along side them.
enemies of Man grow ever more numerous and
daring. The Tau, the Tyranid, and the traitor all
threaten to topple the forces of the Achilus Crusade and
plunge the Reach into a second darkness. It is the duty
of the Battle-Brothers of the Deathwatch to strike out at
these threats, to be humanity’s sword in the void, and to
eliminate the foes of man, quietly, from the shadows. But
there are evils that lurk within those same shadows, malign
forces beyond counting and more dangerous than the even
the Deathwatch can fathom. Some weave tangled webs of
lies and deceit, manipulating events from the shadows of
the distant past, seeking to make humanity their puppets
in the Reach. Others seek to eradicate the teeming masses
of mankind, to drive the Imperium from the galaxy, and to
return to the dominance they once enjoyed. Yet, whether
these dangers be subtle or overt, the only scraps of evidence
of their existence are the countless unexplained mysteries
throughout the Jericho Reach.
The Crusade forces have fought to a desperate stalemate,
progress all but grinding to a halt in the Reach, and it falls to
the Deathwatch to combat these dangers in the darkness. Yet
few, even among that vigilant brotherhood, care to tread the
dead worlds and among the lifeless stars seeded throughout
the Reach, instead focusing their attention on aiding the
crusade as best they can. Thus, confrontation with these
mysterious villains and enigmatic manipulators is left to those
dedicated few who seek to drive them from the shadows and
into the scouring light of the Emperor.
C HAPTER II: L OST W ORLDS
OF THE J ERICHO R EACH
There are worlds throughout the Jericho Reach that have,
for one reason or another, never been settled, terraformed,
or colonised by Imperial forces. Many of these worlds
bear the marks of past xenos occupation, while others are
little more than dormant rocks, devoid of all life or even
geological activity. These are not the typical proto-planets
that are found in every stellar system, but instead show
signs of artifice and manufacture on a planetary scale.
No sound explanation has ever been provided for these
worlds, no theories have been put forth by the Magos
Siderea of the Calixian Mechanicus, the first Explorators
sent through the Warp Gate in the early days of the
Achilus Crusade. Other unique stellar bodies, such as the
Slinnar Drift star cluster and the Black Reef, are present
within the Jericho Reach, providing yet more unanswered
questions. These are the worlds to which the Dead Cabal
turn their attention, to which they dispatch the Kill-
teams under their command, in their search for answers.
This chapter explores these worlds and phenomena, their
past and their present, providing Game Masters with
necessary information to build missions and campaigns
centred around exploration into the lost and mysterious
places in the Jericho Reach.
WHAT’S IN THIS BOOK
The previous supplements, T HE A CHILUS A SSAULT and T HE
J ERICHO R EACH , examined, in great detail, the history and
current events of the three salients of the Jericho Reach.
T HE O UTER R EACH goes beyond the Acheros, Canis, and
Orpheus salients, leaving behind the warfronts and the
battlegrounds of the Achilus Crusade. This book delves
into the expanse of the Jericho Reach beyond the scope
of the Crusade and focuses on the role of the Deathwatch
as the vanguard against the mysterious phenomena that
lurk in the darkness. Each chapter of this book provides
insight into a facet of those mysteries and provides
both players and GM’s with the resources necessary to
integrate the themes of mystery, ancient evil, and twisted
machinations into their campaigns.
C HAPTER III: A D YNASTY R ETURNED
Emerging slowly from the shadows of many of the dead worlds
throughout the Jericho Reach, the Necrons of the Suhbekhar
dynasty represent one example of the many threats on which
the Dead Cabal keep a close watch. Arrogant and merciless in
the extreme, the Suhbekhar dynasty rises from its tombs into a
galaxy it no longer recognises. Should these undying warriors
be allowed to marshal their forces, they would present a dire
foe for the Imperial forces in the Jericho Reach. This chapter
delves into the history, infl uence, and machinations of the
royal court of the Suhbekhar and includes information on the
legions of Necron warriors at its beck and call.
