Tarack is a frozen wasteland of ice. The whole landscape is a mass of crevasses and mountains of ice scoured by blizzards. To make things worse, every now and then there is a massive shift and new peaks are raised up or huge pits open underfoot.
It is theorized that some kind of volcanic activity deep beneath the surface is responsible for these shifts, but no probe has yet penetrated far enough into the planet to find out. With little resources and assistance recieved from the Imperium after the initial compliance of Corabie shortly before the Heresy, no significant research efforts have been undertaken.
Population
Uninhabited
History
Despite the extremely hazardous environment, a number of private expeditions have been made to the surface to harvest the rare chemical compounds contained in the ice. Such expeditions are always disastrous affairs, usually ending in the ruination and/or death of the explorers.
Tarack guards its secrets well. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, there is always someone fool enough to go there to try their luck.
