History
Pre Imperium
Little is known Of Hyperborea Prime's ancient history other than it was the capital planet of a long extinct advanced human civilization.
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 Hyperborea 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 long dead civilization had once 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
Now 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 Synod of the neighboring Oteal system 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 or find the archeotech or ancient artifacts for themselves.
This could all be a ploy by the Synod or one of the other systems governors in an attempt to create interest and draw the war into the distant and uninhabited system.
Upon seeing civilians risking the dangerous voyage to Hyperborea and the reward offered by the Synod, 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 and to stop it from ending up in the wrong hands.
The Battle For Hyperborea
The Initial campaign in what later became known as “The battle for Hyperborea” was a long and brutal war that drew in many legions from nearby sectors. The battle to seize a foothold on the planet ended in a minor Traitor victory, however where the true victory was won was the vital Archeotech captured by the Traitor forces of the Thousand sons. This archeotech was decided to be of importance, but not of such grandeur that it could sway the outcome of the ongoing civil war. Because of this both loyalist and traitor factions decided to send reinforcements originally destined to The Adlayd System to other theatres of the war deemed more vital. This meant those left to defend Hyperborea and it’s hidden technology found themselves fighting a brutal guerrilla war over any remaining lost technology with little to no hope of any assistance.
Hearing that the initial battle had all but ceased, many more civilian, private military, knight houses and even criminal organisations decided that Hyperborea could be the place try to strike it rich. Whether they enlisted their military services for money, tried to find or steal any remaining archeotech or simply wanted to disappear, people flocked to Hyperborea in their thousands. Ramshackle villages or outposts were set up around the shattered remains of the ancient city.
