Population

Like most Desert worlds, Kych's people are largely split between heavily populated Cities surrounding water sources and scattered nomadic tribes who wander the deserts between oasis and other sources of sustenance. While the nomadic tribes are estimated to be a little over 2 million strong, the cities dwarf them with approx 34 million. While the planet could possibly sustain a higher population the Knight Houses which rule the planet maintain a tight control on the cities populations and restrict the right of birth as a form of power and reward.

History

Pre-Compliance

Although once independent, the Knight Houses of Kych were subservient to the Kazitian Synod when the Imperium first encountered the system. The alliance, known as the Baylonian Conclave, made them powerful slaves however and there was little motivation to seek freedom under such circumstances. The Synod had invested heavily in the planets infrastructure and had even shared a number of technological improvements which the lords could incorporate into their Knights and in return all they had to do was provide man power and occasional resources, both of which they had little use for as long as they remained in power.


Compliance

During the entire process of Compliance the Knight Lords of Kych remained removed, the Synod assuring them that they would control the situation and that their primary concern should be the safe guarding of Kych in case of any stealth attack. Even when the Imperial fleet opened fire on the Synod fleet the Kych lords were ordered to remain on their world, it was only when Dur-Kazit was bombed into submission that the Baylonian Conclave received orders to muster. This was quickly countermanded the moment the delegation from Mars arrived and reopened negotiations.

With the Compliance negotiated, the Lords cautiously awaited the terms and were somewhat relieved to discover that while the Conclave was to be disbanded they would still remain under the protectorate of the Synod.

Post Compliance

Even before the shocking actions of Istvaan filtered through to the Australis Ultima Sector, the situation in the Oteal System had degenerated to dangerous levels. Rumours of military build ups on the Kazitian loyal planets persisted along with the myth that Dur-Kazit was being secretly rebuilt, however without any evidence the systems Governor could take no direct action against the planets as they were sworn to the Red Planet and owed him no allegiance.

With the onset of civil war and the Fabricator General openly siding with Horus, the Kazitian Synod seized the opportunity and declared independence of the Imperium, reforming the Baylonian Conclave and began mobilising its military. Desperately outgunned the Governor immediately issued a recall to all Imperial forces in the System and requested aid form the Sub-Sector Governor in Centrumeh Gate.

Before the Kazitian forces were able to fully muster, a small armada translated into the system, but not in response to the Governor’s call for aid. It was a splinter element of a fleet loyal to the Warmaster on its way to the Trugoy System to prosecute another war of eradication against the Loyalists. Unsure of the situation and unwilling to engage two potential enemies the Kazitian navy maintained a defensive posture while attempts to communicate with the new player were sent.

Despairing at now having to face two potential hostile forces, the Imperial presence in the system began to prepare for the worst and readied themselves for invasion. Hope blossomed momentarily when a signal from the VIIth was received, confirming that they were en route and less than two days out, this message however was followed quickly by the Sub-Sector wide broadcast from the Imperium, instructing all Loyal fleets to the Trugoy System.
