Population
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
This twin system contains two planetoids orbiting each other as they orbit the Fortius Star. This twin system's orbit is at the very inner edge of the Girdle, making the Mechanicum Adepts who arrived with the Iron Hands believe these were originally moons that orbited the now destroyed world that forms the Girdle.
Their location meant these frozen worlds formed a key part of the navigation system for the Girdle. The Mechanicum installed a monitoring station on Orendium Alpha which provides the beacon to all arriving starships. It is by using this beacon and the star charts developed by its sister station on Orendium Beta, that Imperial ships can navigate the system after exiting the Warp.
