History
Colonization of Empusa was initially ruled out by the pre-Imperial settlers, as the ecology of the planet was dominated by active, predatory, and deadly poisonous flora. This 'screaming jungle' seemed less of a danger when the rich mineral wealth below was surveyed, and several attempts were made to build on the planet, before orbital weaponry was used to burn away a large enough patch of ground to allow miners to dig in. These initial beachheads were expanded out into fortified cities ringed with largely impregnable walls and incendiary fields, and down into the crust following seams of adamantium ores and others valuable minerals.
Most of the cities on Empusa are independent of each other, as travel on the surface requires armoured vehicles to avoid the lethal plant life. This self-sufficiency did them little good when the traitor legions took the planet for their own purposes.
