I also rolled up a Chaos Cult... what the hell is with this Sector.
Here's the rolls;
16(19,20),5,87,10(19,8),2,9,7,1,8,1
Parentheses are where I needed to roll twice such as the first one which I got 16 which stated to make two rolls for where the Cult came from and got founders... and Sector Command.
So that's a thing. The Sector is in the middle of a Civil War. Yay. Anyone else want to try and make rolls for other(non-Imperial) factions?
You never did show us so much as the rolls for the genestealers.
Also, it'd be nice to have writeups of them and the chaos cult.
...Given that we've got a forgeworld based IG regiment, we probably need a Skitarii legion from said forgeworld (or a Legio Titanicus), given the massive fuckery around, we definitely need a few inquisitors, and then we need some tau, eldar, and the like.

I'll get the rolls up for the Genestealers when I can I wrote out the Heretic one since it was so much longer than the Genestears. I'll write up both when I get to a computer.
I guess I'll start again by rolling an inquisitor.

Our Lady General, Keeper of the Quarantine, Inquisitor Trestis Quietes is old to the point that few other than her have the clearance to know exactly how old. She looks like a 20 something hypermodel, but biology and chronology disagree vociferously.
She is the head of the Ordo Quarantina Sanguis Vitam, charged to make sure that the servants of the Imperium quarantined in the sector remain within it until they are judged neither necessary nor dubious enough to remain interred there. She also moonlights in keeping the enemies of the Imperium from escaping.
Our Lady General, Keeper of the Quarantine is an incredible psyker, who believes in the potential of the tremendous fuckups she has to contain to turn their lives around almost as much as she's dedicated to swiftly making all necessary preparations to keep them and all other threats stuck in-sector forever, if necessary.
So long has she lived and so great is her psychic might that she may compel even the Tau to surrender a ship - and she has done just that, giving it a warp drive to supplement the near-lightspeed mundane drives it possesses when needed.
She watches, waits, and orders the elimination of those who would defy the secret confinement order, though they know it not.
Because everyone can redeem themself in the light of the emperor, those who neglect to do so can be shown no mercy. Our Lady General, Keeper of the Quarantine learned this during her visit to Terra.
Knowing this, she has had a suitable end for her life prepared should she ever seek to leave the sector.

Another psyker thing...
Well, at least this time it wasn't my willful interpretation of things and fluffwriting that made it that way.
Cult Origin: 71 Shrine World
Origin Terrain: 87 Iceworld
Combat Specialization: 6 Urban warfare
Level of technology available: 24 makeshift
Sphere of Influence: 10 Enormous, Cults main enemy: 66 Arbites
Chance of Detection in ten years: 85%
Conclave of the Father
A Genestealer Cult that has not only infiltrated a ice covered Shrine World, but also nearly seized it in its entirety. The only saving grace of this travesty being that loyal Arbites have located it and that the cult's equipment is reduced to makeshift gear which has done only a little good in the face of its skill in Urban Warfare.
Cults of Society: 16 cross-class (19,20) Sins of the Founders and Sector Command
Cults of Idea: 5 Secessionist Conspiracy
Leaders of the Cult: 87 None: Cell Structure
The Cult Leadership: 10 Multifaced: (19,8) Mutant and Abominable Intelligence
Leadership Style: 2 Hands-on Equipment: 9 Advance Technology Token of Allegiance: 7 Secret Chant
Cult Allure: 1 Refuge
Rites: 8 Flesh Twisting
Focus of Worship: 1 Hidden Mark of Heresy
Sanguis Vitam Free State
Unknown to those loyal to the Imperium and the Emperor was the taint infesting the Singuis Vitam Sector. Hiding in secret since the founding of the Sector since it's formation millennia ago, it has reached up and enthralled the Sector's Leadership lending its leaders great power. Gaining strength by offering refuge from the toils and trials of life the Cult now seeks to secede the Sector from the Imperium, claiming, perhaps rightfully that it's oppression is the yoke of enslavement. Organized in a Cell structure, its hands-on orgastrator is an Abominable Intelligence and a Mutant. This could perhaps explain how and why the Cult has access to advance technology but not what they chant with mutation being more common the higher the rank. The most insidious of all aspects of this cult however is that the true power that backs them is unknown with most unaware of their damnation.
Hopefully the Inquisition has an actually useful force in the sector, rather than just an ordo dedicated to making sure that only the unneeded and undeniably pure can leave.

The Lost Raiders
=][= INQUISITOR ACCESS ONLY =][=
The Lost Raiders are a Renegade Astartes Chapter, they were founded during the Second Founding all those Millennia ago. But due to traitorous taint within their gene-seed, they were excommunicated from the Imperium. Thankfully, the winds of fate had led them to the abandoned Wasteland Penal Colony known as Hadal. The people there had formed their own self sustaining environment, and soon they came under the protection of the Lost Raiders. Despite retaining their loyalist armor, it has become worn and harder to maintain. As such, they utilize unorthodox combat in place of battlefield combat. Sleeper Agents, Infiltrators, all manners of plans that can bring ruin to many plans. This has earned the attention of a Rogue Inquisitor, who reports intelligence to them and secretly supplies them with new Initiates and supplies.
But they have run right into the sights of Trestis Quietes, who will hunt them down like the dogs they are.

I don't want to take that inquisitor, but I will roll something admech affiliated.
76 - Breeding Program
82 - Relentless Recall
2 - Pre-Great Crusade
97 - Nobody knows when they were rediscovered
4 - Expedition
5 - Remnants of the Dark Age
43 - Vanguard
23 - Titan Legion
83 - Tau
So, to summarize...
This Skitarii legion has existed since before the Emperor rose to power, and is the product of a breeding program at LEAST that long intended to find the secrets of the Omnissiah. They don't lose their memories from before they became skitarii, and nobody even fucking knows when they contacted the Imperium again. Their legendary hero fought orks, and ever since then the entire legion has used implants (and gear?) patterned off of what he used.
They brought back an STC fragment.
Their main foes are the Tau, and their main allies a local titan legion (So now we need one of those, as well as a forgeworld. So it's a shame there isn't a decent forgeworld generator.)
-----
Putting this all together: The Legion of Innate Purpose is an ancient lineage of Bioskitarii crafted by Genetors before the rise of the Emperor. In truth, most of their history is unknown, including when this lost legion was integrated into the Imperium. What is known is that they bore much knowledge from their ancient expedition. This includes an STC for the production of phosphex and phosphex weaponry, and the fact that it still exists at their forgeworld of residence implies that they were rediscovered at some point after 009.M40.
They have partnered with a local titan legion to fuck up the local Tau.
I'mma...roll that Titan Legion now.
99 - Warmonger Pattern Mainstay 18 (Replaced due to my misreading of the tables leading to something hilarious) 10 - Reaver Pattern Lead Engine
7 - This Engine is remembered as the bane of the Orks, laying waste to whole Empires and countless Gargants and Stompas to such an extent that its name is known to the vile greenskins even to this day.
2 - Armory World
3 - The Horus Heresy
10 - Overstrength
5 - Last Stand
10 - Blessing of the Emperor (Friend to Astartes, basically. Or rather, the Astartes all died but we won.)
4 - Machine Unbound (Have fought Tau. Have lost to Tau)
1 - Divergent Pattern
7 - Skitarii Cohort (How fucking fitting is that?)
8 - Dark Mechanicus Magos
3 - Inexorable Advance
Damn, that Reaver Pattern engine must be made from some serious fucking Archaeotech if it's the lead engine of an oversized legion mostly comprised of of THE LARGEST AND MOST POWERFUL ARTILLERY TITANS THERE ARE, and has destroyed entire empires of orks. It's like...the second smallest and most lightly armed type of Titan out there. Literally what the hell.
The Titan Legion of the Armory-World of Savano is a strange and terrifying thing. Just as strange and terrifying as the fact that they and their forgeworld skirt the edge of heretek, and their main enemy is actual hereteks. They may or may not be using reverse engineered tau tech. They're definitely using phosphex, AKA poisonous flying napalm that actively tracks down moving creatures.
So I accidentally compared the titan legion's lead titan roll to the mainstay titan table, and they shouuuuld have a slightly better lead vehicle.
But fuck it, I'm fudging that roll down to 10 for the sake of pure WUT, where the second babiest form of titan leads an army of the largest, deadliest ones.
A comparatively tiny mech nominally from an obsolete pattern leading the biggest mechs is more than funny enough to enshrine my lack of reading comprehension, when the alternative is using the typical mainstay of titan legions for that.
Edit:
Wait, this is the SECOND mech using organization in the sector that almost exclusively uses the biggest fuckoff mechs available to them.
Well let's see how I fare at making a Chaos Warband! (This is gonna be good)
Warband Origin - Misbegotten Expedition (73)
Allegiance - Slaanesh (68)
Frequency Of Blessings - Several, Roll Three Times (67)
Blessings - Weapons Of Chaos (93), True Sight (70), and Aesthetic Changes (23)
Headquarters - Warp Storm (25)
Warband Build - Council (89)
Recruiting Methods - Kidnapping (66)
Warband Combat Doctrine - Blot Out The Sun (2)
Legendary Champion - Daemon Prince (11)
Deed For The God - They have led many campaigns in the name of Slaanesh, and as such has a large amount of followers for Slaanesh. They are truly favored by Slaanesh, and they will know no fear. (6)
The Song Of The Amethyst Monarch Warband
Within the confines of the Warp Storm simply known as the Sanguis Infernum lies the base of the Amethyst Monarch, a Daemon Prince of Slaanesh who has earned their deity's favor by corrupting nearby planets into service of the Dark Gods. No one knows anything of the Daemon Prince, save for their appearance changes from unbelievable beauty to horrible terror. Members of their warband often have pale skin and eyes that shine with the madness of the warp, and their weapons are blessed by the Dark God. Few Astartes have joined this Warband, its brunt being made up of Cultists and augmented warriors blessed by the Warp. The Amethyst Monarch has three others which assist them in making decisions and recruiting more into their Warband, and it is perfect for dealing with internal problems.
As for their combat doctrine, most of them pride themselves as expert marksmen and gunslingers. Those who wield close combat weapons are cannon fodder, nothing more than meat for the grinder as they charge the enemy lines. Meanwhile, the real warriors are picking off leaders and killing key figures.
The Amethyst Monarch
The Amethyst Monarch looks like a merge between Daemonette and regal queen, though none can tell for certain what they are. They often dress in fancy clothes, and their left hand is a massive claw capable of rending tanks in half. The Monarch often dwarfs both enemy and ally, and is both an intimidating and alluring sight to many on the battlefield.
I suppose given that we've established that one person CAN make multiple factions, the sisters of battle I rolled up are now thread canon.
Which is to say, an order of psyker loving sororitas who're waiting for their psyker living saint hero to get an acquittal from the accusations of heresy targeted at her for being an unsanctioned psyker sororitas exists in this sector.

One on hand this Sector's Imperial forces are nuts, on the other hand most if not all of them are unorthodox if not borderline heretical. Did I miss any?

Don't forget that the titan legion's lead titan is the smallest non-scout titan class...and yet it is singularly responsible for the eradication of several planets worth of orks, and all orks in the sector know it's name.
Also, technically I suppose you could count the inquisitor as part of the loyal forces, although she has a very specialized role related to the batshittery around this place.
Also, the [name redacted] sisters are the Order of the Shining Temple, and their tactics are 'slightly divergent', by which I mean they actually accept psykers and field them as 'librarians'.

I excluded the Inquisitor since she's the one trying to keep things contained rather than deal with the madness and absurdity of the Sector otherwise I've fixed the other sections. The sheer weirdness of this Sector does justify why it's basically as far as it can realistically be from the Imperium's heart.
Dumb mental image: instead of a normal fucking inquisitor, the second main inquisitor present in the area is from the Ordo Chronos.
Yes, the timecops that nobody has seen in millenia.

Battle Sister of the Order of Sorrowful Chalice
Participants alongside the Corundum Falcons in the initial crusade which reconquered the Sanguis Vitam Sector, the Order of the Sorrowful Chalice are an offshoot of the Order of the Argent Shroud, formed by volunteers called by the Ecclesiarchy's call for a Holy War to liberate the Sanguis Vitam alongside the Administratum's ordained Crusade. Led by Saint Vangelija, who had previously served as Mistress of Repentence, the order put heretic armies to flight wherever it went. Frequently working alongside operatives of the Officio Assassinorum, the Order grew adept in utilizing stealth tactics to destroy her enemies. Few opponents found it easy to work when command centers would find themselves by squads of Battle Sisters striking from the shadows, or on one memorable occasion during the Liberation of Nikara, a command Chimera was found to contain several suddenly active arco-flagellants when it arrived for a high level strategy meeting.
As the Crusade drew to a close, the Order chose to habit itself upon the world of Orellius Secundus, a bitterly cold world just barely within the so-called "Goldilocks Zone" which had been a center of fierce resistance to the heretics during the period of isolation from the Imperium. This resistance did not come without cost, however, with numerous Chaos raids martyring untold scores of its populace. Here the sisters have raised vast ossuary chapels to house and display the relics of these holy martyrs and have charged themselves with their protection and the eternal remembrance of the honored dead. Though the world is nominally independent, de facto control of the planet lays with the Ordo and protection of the pilgrim convoys often sees members of the Order in high level discussions with nearby planets.
While the Order did fight alongside the Corundum Falcons in the beginning of the Crusade, the bias of Sisters against mutants, including Space Marines as they so consider them, and the witch, was brought to an absolute fever pitch by this psyker heavy Chapter. To this day, the Order of the Sorrowful Chalice refuses to work alongside members of the Adeptus Astartes and views all members and Chapters with a severe suspicion. This hatred is not unknown to the Inquisition, who is more than willing to utilize the Sisters should one of the Chapters in the sector require purging.
Hm.
I feel that there's a need for at least one more Imperial Guard regiment here, considering that we've got fewer of them than Space Marine Chapters or Orders of the Sororitas.

Now let me tell you the story of how these godawful wretches came to be, and what they are.
Some ffffucking geniuses in the Ordos Malleus and Hereticus were drinking with a Magos Biologis when she was all like, "Hey, y'know what'd be hi-lar-i-ous? Let's...ff-find a shrineworld. A fucking agricultural shrineworld....and set up a massive cloning vat complex there. We'll take the genestock from assorted abhumans, blanks, pariahs, and maybe a mutant or two just so we have a really good excuse to kill 'em later if we need to. We'll hide the complex...and set it to produce automatically and release the spawn onto the surface..."
So the Ordo Hereticus guy was naturally like, "...People will fuckin' hate them for being abhumans at best and mutant blank abhumans at worst, so they'll have no choice but to form gangs for their own protection. Then, when the Arbites pick them up, we...pfhahahaaha...we give the blank abhumans a choice between death and service in a penal legion. The rest just get executed..."
And the Ordo Malleus guy was falling out of his chair by this point when he said "...and then we'll indoctrinate the wretches in the worship of the emperor, teach them stealth, train them exclusively in the use of weapons and tactics with ranges smaller than their blank auras, and send them off to hunt Magnus the Red in the name of their homeworld. It'll be fucking perfect..."
By the time they sobered up five months later, they had actually done it, using the Agrishrine of Kiel'basa (Known for it's sanctified sausages, cheeses, and wines) as the base of operations, to create the Kiel'Basa Second Guard.
Surprisingly, the Sororitas decided they really liked 'em. This may have to do with the fact that a lot of them were less 'Ratling' or 'Ogryn' and more 'adorably badass catgirl gangster' and dumb shit like that.
Or maybe just the fact that coming within ten meters of a unit of them causes witches to melt.
---
Bit of a stretch for me to decide they're bred for /blankness/, but between them being chosen for some special quality (elite tithe), having a special combat style, and being sent after a daemon prince, I decided to make that element up to tie it all together in coherence.
Then make it a daemon primarch.
Plus, it makes them as fucked up as anything else in this Sector.

I don't think this backstory matches the Falcons one. Their stated reason for being assigned to the sector was a reported (incorrectly) non existence of Astartes in the sector (if I remember correctly ).
Unless it refers to a later crusade some time after the Falcons founding.

Alright, let's get this started.
The Haran Desert Fighters are an artillery regiment of the Imperial Guard, and are close allies with another Imperial Regiment stationed on their world. The planet of Hara is a predominantly desert world with only three oceans, and is quite civilized by the standards of some planets. They don't care who is within the guard, so long as they fight for Emperor and Homeworld like their brothers and sisters did before them. Many often volunteer for this reason, and to learn the ways of the Lasgun.
The Haran Desert Fighters are often seen wrapping some cloth around their armor to help them blend into the sands, and to assist in cooling themselves off. As for their weaponry, they utilize the Jezail Pattern Lasgun. The Lasgun is specialized for long range combat, and is capable of surviving the wear and tear of Hara due to its simpler construction. The Desert Fighters also have flags hanging off of their artillery equipment, each of them detailing their loyalty to the Emperor and Homeworld. Surprisingly, this had brought positive interaction from another Regiment that was ordered to assist in defending the world. These warriors hailed from Krieg, and as such the Haran and Krieger friendship began. Both of them are often seen fighting the local Feral Ork population, or taking time off whenever they're not in combat.
