Gentlemen of Demeter Prime

The war never truly ends. It just relocates to the subterranean vaults beneath your ancestral estate.

Captain Edward von Halen returned from the bloody meatgrinder of the frontlines to bury his father and inherit his family’s quiet estate on the agri-world of Demetra Prime. He expected a painfully boring Highborn life, the stench of grox manure, and endless agricultural harvest reports.

But the late Lord-Agronomist had his own, highly specific interpretation of "agriculture."

It turns out that hidden beneath the endless oceans of golden wheat are sprawling subterranean laboratories producing "Blue Ghost"—the most expensive and highly illegal narcotic in the entire sector. Now, Edward isn't just a nobleman; he's the head of a clandestine criminal empire.

Instead of a quiet veteran's retirement, he is greeted by a new breed of enemies: cybernetic religious fanatics, greedy Rogue Traders, ruthless cartels, and aristocratic relatives perfectly willing to slit his throat for a cut of the inheritance (not to mention his absolute idiot of a brother, who manages to orchestrate a catastrophe with every breath he takes).

Fortunately, Edward holds a few trump cards: a cold-blooded and deadly operations manager named Suzie Glass, a fiercely loyal huntsman wielding a heavy stubber, and a deeply ingrained habit of solving complex business disputes using Imperial heavy infantry tactics.

Welcome to Demetra Prime. We yield the richest harvest in the sector. And more often than not, it's a harvest of corpses.
