The current population of Grox is made up largely of indentured serfs owned by either the Clans or the Imperium directly. A number of small Mechanicum covens operate on the planet to help keep the factories operational, a task which was impossible in recent decades.

History

Pre-Compliance

Early records of Grox appear to have been expunged from all of the data repositories on Trugoy and little is actually known of the worlds history prior to it coming under the control of the clans. It is indicated that there was an industralised society on the planet prior to be being annexed and that there were existing trade arrangements with not only Trugoy but neighbouring systems such as Oteal System and even Centrumeh. While this would indicate a certain level of advanced technology, capable of inter system travel on at least a basic scale, the fact that the planet was quickly and easily conquered by the clans of Trugoy would suggest very limited military capabilities.

Once under the control of Trugoy, Grox and its industrial sectors were divided up amongst the more powerful clans who could not only assert their influence on the home world but on the system colonies as well. The added manufacturing capabilities of the planet contributed greatly to the wealth of Trugoy and assisted in its efforts to colonise Impasse, although their level of technology was the greater hurdle for that venture.

Post Compliance

By the time the Imperium had brought Compliance to the Trugoy System, Grox had changed little. Without the knowledge to repair the vast factories which they had taken control of, the clans of Truogy simply fought each other for control of the remaining complexes. With Imperial oversight the Governor abolished the clan control and returned the world to some semblance of productivity.

Having access to both the parts to repair the factories and the skills required to bring them back online, the Mechanicum made a number of visits to the world at the request of the Sub-Sectors governor to help ensure that the System would increase its production levels in alignment with the anticipated construction of the Nestro orbital dockyards. Taking advantage of the newly awakened resource and the departure of the Imperial garrison, the Trugoy Governor ordered the worlds production quotas to be quadrupled. While the administrators, recently trained by the Mechanicum, objected and claimed that the facilities were still too fragile to be pushed to such limits, they were overruled and production increases took place immediately.

By the time of the Horus Heresy and the arrival of the retreating Loyalist fleets, the planet was a ruined and shattered husk of itself; every major manufactorum burnt out and most minor ones running at less than 10% of its intended capacity. Its atmosphere polluted to near toxic levels and the eco system beyond recovery.

A Forgotten Legacy

Although hard to see through the pollution and rot, the planet could have once been a temperate world. Adequate water supply, abundant resources and a diverse eco system. All of this is gone, replaced with the irradiated water streams, strip mined mountains and little more than toxic mosses growing in the wastelands. The vast industrial cities lie in ruins, their skeletons catching the wind swept debris which the radiation storms carry across the globe. While still recoverable by the mighty sciences of the Mechanicum, the planets future is doubtful now that the Heresy has begun and priorities have shifted.

Upon arriving in the system an advance Mechanicum contingent of the regrouping Loyalists began converting the planets factories to produce heavy weapons and ammunition to support, what was anticipated to be a long and drawn out campaign. As the Magos delved deeper into the cogitator memories to retrofit the manufacturing lines it became evident that this world used to be far more than a simple civilian factory complex. Remnant scrap data gathered from across the various industrial cities were compiled and a shocking revelation was made; the world contained a series of underground Titan Hangers from a long extinct Legio.
