History
Re-Discovery
During the long and somewhat dragged out negotiations with the Baylonian Conclave in the Oteal System, a splinter force from the 597th expedition fleet was sent to explore the small Adlayd sytem. Upon initial scans the planet Hyperbore Prime was believed to contain both plentiful natural resources and what seemed to be ruins of a past civilization. Before units could be deployed to the surface the splinter fleet was recalled to the Oteal system in preparation for the oncoming war following the Vilnor incident.
Mechanicum forces sent to the Oteal system from Terra to take over the compliance action soon negotiated peace and discovered that in ages past the Conclave had built a research station in the Wootoona Chain. They also discovered that from this station the Conclave had sent landing parties to Hyperborea Prime and found that the past civilization had been of a high level of technological advancement. For unknown reasons the Conclave had retreated from the system before any Archeotech or STC fragments could be discovered and now they treated the system as if it were cursed.
With the intention of recovering any lost technological secrets the Mechanicum fleet set off for the Hyperborea, however the system was ravaged by warp storms of unprecedented size and was impossible to travel to and was lost and forgotten.
Horus Heresy
As the civil war rages, rumors are spreading throughout the Centrumeh Sub-System that the warp storms have dissipated and that the lost technological wonders of Hyperborea Prime are up for the taking. The Tech Adepts of the now reformed Baylonian Conclave have also offered a reward for any lost STC Fragments or Archeotech that is retreived, causing a small influx of civilians from Centrumeh Gate and other surrounding systems wanting to strike it rich.
This could possibly be to create interest in the neighboring system and draw the war away from Oteal, allowing the Conclave room to continue rebuilding their empire. Upon hearing of the interest in Hyperborea and the rewards promised by the Conclave, Traitor and Loyalist legions have both sent forces to take the Adlayd system and control its resources and any lost technology that could aid in the ongoing civil war.
