Laochan Gate
Purpose / Function
The true purpose of Laochan Gate is lost to the ages, but as per the daemonic incursion that poured fourth from its opening during the Graia Campaign , Inquisitorial scholars believe it was an ancient chaos gate that had been de-activated millennia ago, laying dormant until some form of sacrifice was performed to awaken it.

Architecture
Of ancient, yet advanced design, Laochan Gate had proven to be of great interest to Adeptus Mechanicus explorators who frequently delved into its ruined depths, passageways and finally - the gate entrance itself.
Archeotech could be found strewn across its vast structure, but many followers of the machine god dared not enter for spiritual reasons - and those that did often never returned.
Its outer structure appeared to be of old-Terran 'brutalist' aesthetic configuration, concealing inner workings that were far more complex - while the gate itself was a large, archway-like structure with foreboding spikes protruding from its outer edges.

History
Graia Campaign - Activation and Subsequent Daemonic Incursion
Laochan Gate was used as an entry point into realspace for countless daemonic hordes during the Graia Campaign , an event which was orchestrated by Arkon Kel in an attempt to overrun Graia and destroy the Epsilon Battalion . This plot was foiled when the Epsilon Battalion stormed Laochan Gate and interrupted the ritual maintaining the warp tear at its centre. -
