History
Pre-Compliance
Impasse was only a relatively recently colonised world in relation to the rest of the System at the time of the Crusade. Having limited technology to counter the extreme arctic conditions on the world and finding few natural resources to plunder, the clans from Trugoy only established a crude mining operation less than a century before the arrival of the Crusade Fleet. Conditions were beyond harsh and within the first few years of the colonies operation it had sustained an 85% mortality rate. Impasse quickly became a prison world of sorts where the criminals and political dissidents were sent to eke out an existence for two or three years before they eventually succumbed to the ice.
Post Compliance
One of the key features earmarked in the initial Imperial scouting report for Impasse was the abundance of Promethium located under the planets surface. Before the Compliance action had even completed Mechanicum survey vessels translated in system and commenced and exhaustive mapping of the resources available. It was quickly determined that the volume located within the planet would be support not only a refueling way point but an entire orbital dockyard.
As the Mechanicum survey ships belonged the Retlaxi Forge World, they were given control of the establishment for the mining operations and their continued maintenance. Replacing the ramshackle arctic emergency habs erected by the clans with vastly superior hab domes, the Mechanicum seconded and upgraded the existing mining rig to ensure an immediate flow of Promethium before commencing production on another twenty-eight sites.
With the completion of the Nestro orbital dockyards the demand for the Promethium supply escalated and in response the Retlaxi Forge World sent additional covens to assist with the expansion of the mining operations, this time digging deep into the planets crust to access richer veins. With the onset of the Heresy the loyalty of the Mechanicum forces established on Impasse was cast into doubt, their home Forge World on Retlaxi having already being suspected of siding with Horus and all communications with the mining world was cut off.
