Historic write up:
Originally, the Panpacific was controlled by many techno-barbarian tribes which often clashed with the Yndonesic Bloc. Eventually, the Panpacific tribes were united by a Warlord named Khazar to fight against the Brotherhood of Singularitarianism. The latter was a sect which strove for the creation of a singularity-level A.I.. Though later Mechanicum scholars mostly believed that the tribes' war against the Brotherhood was only motivated by their superstition, in truth the Panpacific peoples had realized that the Brotherhood of Singularitarianism had begun to combine their technology with the Warp and Daemonic. Khazar's forces successfuly stormed the Brotherhood's fortresses and mostly destroyed the cult, though one of its leaders, Moravec, escaped to Mars. At some point after its unification, possibly in M27, the Panpacific Empire was conquered by the Unspeakable King.
Eventually, the Unspeakable King was overthrown by the clans of Albia, and Panpacific Empire fell under the control of Narthan Dume and became one the most powerful realms on Terra. Not long after, however, the empire was confronted by the Emperor of Mankind during the Unification Wars. In a series of battles, the Panpacific Empire was defeated by Imperial armies consisting of Thunder Warriors, Caucasian Levies, and many mercenaries.The Panpacific city of Vhnori was one of its last strongholds to fall. Dume was captured alive and executed.
In 799.M30, Vhnori -still resentful over the Panpacific Empire's fall- revolted against the Emperor. The so-called Vhnori Resurgence was short-lived, as the city was completely destroyed by Imperial forces in retaliation

- Narthan Dume, Tyrant of the Panpacific Empire during the Unification Wars at the close of the Age of Strife, was the most infamous of all the tyrannical rulers who dominated Terra during that dark period. He was described as "half-mad, half-genius." Although some in the Emperor's service wanted to imprison Dume in the dungeon of Khangba Marwu, he was instead executed at the urging of Constantin Valdor shortly after his capture. Many of his lieutenants, however, were imprisoned in Khangba Marwu.

Vhnori
Province or Client State in the Pan Pacific Empire
From https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Unification_Wars: Vhnori - During the early years of the Great Crusade after ca. 800.M30, alliances and oaths were still fresh, untested or half-formed. Even as the Imperium of Man extended beyond the Sol System for the first time, the domains left in its wake were often of questionable stability and loyalty. Attempted rebellions and conspiracies were common. The Imperium usually put most of these insurrections down swiftly and without fanfare. However, occasionally a few rebellions required a different response; not simply subjugation but retribution. Vhnori was a Terran city enclave, a natural fortification built into the walls of a series of chasms for easy defence that had once been a part of the Pan-Pacific Empire. Vhnori had been one of the last of the tyrant Narthan Dume's domains to fall during the Unification Wars. The people of Vhnori did not take easily to the Imperial yoke, as they submitted to the Emperor's rule in sullen silence. This changed, however, with the coming of the Crimson Walkers, a cabal of psykers, gene-splicers and warlords who had once served the last great Terran tyrants of the Age of Strife. Bit by bit they had gathered followers and resources, spreading a secret web across Terra. The centre of their resurgence was Vhnori. It seemed the Crimson Walkers were determined to pull a part of Terra back into the nightmare of the recent past. When the Emperor heard of the rise of this reborn threat, He is said to have spoken three words: "Send in the Eighth!" The VIII Legion did not respond right away, as its force within the Sol System at that time only numbered a little over 500 warriors: a large force of Astartes but not one that could overwhelm a city of millions. When the VIII Legion began their campaign of fear, it started with an orbital bombardment falling from the night sky which lasted for six solar hours. Following the bombardment, the artificial darkness remained. Soon a heavy downpour thick with chemicals rained upon the millions of fearful inhabitants from the seeded clouds above. The VIII Legion arose from the abyss on jets of flame, butchering any who crossed their paths. The screams of terror and battle echoed through their drug-weakened minds. The Crimson Walkers responded by unleashing an army of mutant monstrosities, but still the VIII Legion came on, slicing abominations apart with lightning-sheathed claws. They screamed with the voices of the dead as they fought, their speaker grills shouting out the recorded sounds of suffering, pain and loss. When the chasms were blazing like the mouth of a mythical hell, the Drop Pods fell. The reinforcements converged on the chasms, cutting their way through the city sprawl, killing any they found. Soon, the remaining Crimson Walkers faced their doom fragmented, harrowed and cut-off from one another, until they were cornered by the figures in midnight blue Power Armour. Those who reached the blasted border surrounding the city found themselves hunted by the VIII Legion's Seeker Squads. It is said that the VIII Legion allowed many to run, before hunting them down through the long hours of the artificial night, maiming but never killing, until dragging their broken quarry back to the chasm. With Vhnori screaming and burning, the VIII Legion performed their last duty. Alive, and healed so that they were conscious, they threw the Crimson Walkers into the chasm. Then they detonated charges along the cliff edge, severing the hanging city from the cliff face, the screams of the ten millions who had sheltered from the fighting in the cliff-bound buildings reaching up to the sky as they followed the Crimson Walkers into the black depths of the Earth. The VIII Legion left the decimated city before dawn came again, cementing their reputation for the use of fear and terror as effective weapons of Imperial retribution and control.
Principality of Archangelus will swear to insurgents of Vhnori, hoping for ability to restore own independence.
Mariana Trench
From by Artist Vanga-Vangog: Mariana Trench is now called Mariana Canyon and is jam-packed with hundreds of merged hive-cities. One of them is Vhnori, that will be the last city to fall during the Emperor's conquest of Panpacific Empire. But its citizens will not surrender internally. While Emperor's troops will fight in space, Vhnori will become a center of an extensive terrorist organization, that will raise one of the bloodiest uprising of the millenium. The city will be destroyed by a huge landslide, arose from the collapse of the canyon slopes as a result of the exposion of the powerful bomb.

The Mariana Gorge is a deep ravine on Terra. In the era prior to the Age of Strife, this canyon, then known as the Mariana Trench, was at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and was the lowest elevation of the surface of the Earth's crust. However, during the wars that engulfed the planet during the Age of Strife, much of the planet's oceans boiled away, revealing significant portions of the Gorge. In time an atheistic civilization arose along the walls of the Gorge that lasted several thousand years. By the time of the Great Crusade, this civilization had vanished, but left behind mile-high statues of its kings.

Principality of Irkutsk
From by Artist Vanga-Vangog: Principality of Irkutsk is the satellite of Pan-pacific Empire. It is a huge hive-city, that fills the whole Baikal canyon.
