The next planet is Fortius Prime. The capital world of the system is a classic "goldilocks" zone world of oceans and grassy plains. The major geological feature is the Great Equatorial Range, a massive mountain range that divides the pangean continent into North and South. This marks the divide of where the two previously smaller continents smashed into each other millions of years ago.

==History==
 +
The system of Fortius is comprised of 6 planets orbiting a sun roughly the solar mass of Sol. It was brought to compliance early in the crusade. At that time, the only inhabited planet, later called Fortius Prime by the Administratum, quickly and willingly accepted compliance and an imperial governor was appointed from among the indigenous population.
  
−
Styx is a thriving Agriculture world, due to the high landmass to ocean ratio its primary produced products are terrestrial in nature. Styx is the only Agri-world in the [[Kildrech System]], supplying all the food for the system as well exporting some to the [[Helix Cluster]]. Although the ocean only covers a small amount of the planetary mass specialist ocean grown products are harvested and these are supplied as premium goods to the other planets in the system and as exports.
+
During the Horus Heresy, the system was left largely untouched owing to its minimal strategic value. The outermost planet was briefly the battleground for the Emperor's Children and Imperial Army, which shattered the world after a bombardment by the Combined Fleets. Its remnants now orbit the Fortius system as an asteroid field.
  
−
Due to its level of biomass it would have made an ideal target for the Tyranid invasion; however it appears to have been untouched.
+
This field, known locally as the Girdle, made the system very difficult to navigate after exiting from warp transit as it lies at the very outer edge of the Fortius star's gravity well.
  
−
==Population==
+
Only one ship managed to make it through to Fortius Prime following the Heresy - The Imperial Truth - a small ship of the nascent Inquisition which took the Spear of Destiny to secrete it in the Mountain.
−
After the mass exodus of the planets population during the Tyranid invasion at the earyly stages of M36, Styx reverted to predominantly a Feudal state based around a rural life style. Without significant technological advancement or the understanding of their available technology the society maintained such a culture even through to current day.
+
−
While aware of their existence within the greater scheme of things, the governing echelons of the planet keep the vast majority of the planet ignorant of such knowledge. This ensures an easy control mechanism on the worker population, effectively serfs, by ruling class. In addition this unintentionally aided in the transition of control to the Templars when they seized control of the [[Kildrech System]].
+
  
−
==History==
+
The Girdle led to the system largely being isolated from the greater Imperium until the 36th millennium when an Iron Hand's Company visited the system after a battle with Chaos forces. After using their superior knowledge of machine spirits to navigate the Girdle, the Iron Hands Captain Geral Sophicus made vox contact with the Imperial governor and was welcomed to Fortius Prime. Despite the 5,000 years that had passed since contact with the Imperium, Sophicus' Company found the system was still loyal and free from any chaos taint.  
−
Unlike most of the planets in the [[Kildrech System]], Styx has little to no mineral resources, which is the primary reason it was overlooked as the System capital when the Templars originally conquered the area in the name of the Emperor. Instead it is an exceptionally fertile planet which has near perfect orbit and lunar cycles to create rapid growing condition for its crops.Even before the planet was brought into the fold of the Imperium there were significant agricultural settlements scattered across its continents, but very little industry. The Imperium maintained this tendency and simply expanded the agricultural activities to encompass the planet’s entire surface and established distribution routes throughout the System and its neighbors.
+
  
−
Even as the System lost contact with the Imperium at large, the agricultural distribution continued, being largely automated space elevators and transport shuttles. The first major disruption of Styx’s network occurred with the Tyanid invasion, although not in a way which was expected. Being a planet made up entirely of rich biomass it was anticipated that Styx would be the primary target of the invading Tyranid fleet, the interception and devouring of the food shuttles appeared to confirm this. To counter this threat the remaining Imperial and Templar forces concentrated their efforts to fortify the planets orbit. However rather than invading the Agri planet, the Xenos forces instead made directly for [[Kildrech Prime]], bypassing Styx completely.
+
Sophicus determined that the Emperor's light had let his company to Fortius to reconnect it to the greater Imperium. His company and its Mechanicum forces remained in the system for 100 years, upgrading the local tech to allow for tracking and predicting the movement of asteroids and allow for navigation of the Girdle.
  
−
Scrambling to redeploy the Imperial forces mobilised and went to the aid of the beleaguered system capital, taking nearly every able bodied person from Styx with them, leaving less than ten percent of the population on the planet.
+
His astropaths were able to pass information back to the Administratum who sent representatives to the system. A full scan of the local planets was undertaken and resources identified. Also arriving in Fortius Prime were representatives from the Ecclesiarchy. The Ecclesiarchy spread the Imperial faith to the locals, who were initially reluctant having maintained their belief in the Imperial truth. But ultimately their inbred loyalty to rule from Terra meant most accepted the new truths.
  
−
Formal Imperial records on Styx end at that point, the remaining population lacking the technical knowledge or even ability to maintain them. From records taken from other planets, notably [[Kildrech Prime]], it is known that the conscripted forces taken from Styx were wiped out during the offensive to retake the capital and no reinforcements were ever sent back to the Agri world. Why the Tyranids never invaded the planet, either initially or subsequently, remains a mystery, but one which was forgotten by the indigenous population as they rapidly reverted to a semi feudal/rural existence, continuing the farming of crops and loading of the space elevators ground stations out of habit, tradition and superstition.
+
Shortly after, the Iron Hands departed the system and, apart from the Planetary Defence Force, no Imperial Military forces were present in the system until the Spear of Destiny incident.
  
−
Little changed over the following millennia, the planet eventually regained some technological abilities and started to spread to the rest of the system after numerous visits from Rogue Traders and other contacts with neighboring human colonies. With the recent arrival of the [[Kildrech Crusade]], Styx is once again under Templar authority.

The next planet is Fortius Prime. The capital world of the system is a classic "goldilocks" zone world of oceans and grassy plains. The major geological feature is the Great Equatorial Range, a massive mountain range that divides the pangean continent into North and South. This marks the divide of where the two previously smaller continents smashed into each other millions of years ago.


Population

The main administration Hive is in the South. It houses the administration headquarters, the Ecclesiarchy temple and the Governor's palace.

The rest of the population is spread out in small farming communities, whose produce is the other half of the system's tithe.


History

The system of Fortius is comprised of 6 planets orbiting a sun roughly the solar mass of Sol. It was brought to compliance early in the crusade. At that time, the only inhabited planet, later called Fortius Prime by the Administratum, quickly and willingly accepted compliance and an imperial governor was appointed from among the indigenous population.

During the Horus Heresy, the system was left largely untouched owing to its minimal strategic value. The outermost planet was briefly the battleground for the Emperor's Children and Imperial Army, which shattered the world after a bombardment by the Combined Fleets. Its remnants now orbit the Fortius system as an asteroid field.

This field, known locally as the Girdle, made the system very difficult to navigate after exiting from warp transit as it lies at the very outer edge of the Fortius star's gravity well.

Only one ship managed to make it through to Fortius Prime following the Heresy - The Imperial Truth - a small ship of the nascent Inquisition which took the Spear of Destiny to secrete it in the Mountain.

The Girdle led to the system largely being isolated from the greater Imperium until the 36th millennium when an Iron Hand's Company visited the system after a battle with Chaos forces. After using their superior knowledge of machine spirits to navigate the Girdle, the Iron Hands Captain Geral Sophicus made vox contact with the Imperial governor and was welcomed to Fortius Prime. Despite the 5,000 years that had passed since contact with the Imperium, Sophicus' Company found the system was still loyal and free from any chaos taint.

Sophicus determined that the Emperor's light had let his company to Fortius to reconnect it to the greater Imperium. His company and its Mechanicum forces remained in the system for 100 years, upgrading the local tech to allow for tracking and predicting the movement of asteroids and allow for navigation of the Girdle.

His astropaths were able to pass information back to the Administratum who sent representatives to the system. A full scan of the local planets was undertaken and resources identified. Also arriving in Fortius Prime were representatives from the Ecclesiarchy. The Ecclesiarchy spread the Imperial faith to the locals, who were initially reluctant having maintained their belief in the Imperial truth. But ultimately their inbred loyalty to rule from Terra meant most accepted the new truths.

Shortly after, the Iron Hands departed the system and, apart from the Planetary Defence Force, no Imperial Military forces were present in the system until the Spear of Destiny incident.
