The Empress Teta System
The System consists of fourteen planets, thirty-three moons and rotates around twin binary suns, (see planets).
Initially it is believed that the system was colonized during the Dark Age of Technology, but my finding suggest that sometime during the Age of Strife an alien race, the Slan, brought humans here to be their slaves perhaps from the Octorian sector.
Nearly a millennium before the Age of the Imperium, a Prophet, Soraya, arose from the slaves foretelling of the coming of the God Emperor whom would reward the faithful. She led the slaves in a revolt that wiped the Slan population on the planet out. Through her visions the people built great temples and monument to honor the God Emperor. Soraya was declared their leader and took the title of Empress. She ruled her people wisely and justly for over six hundred years. It is written that upon the arrival of the Emperor, Soraya died never getting to see the God Emperor's face she so loved. The Emperor erected a mammoth fortress monument to the Emperes Soraya in her honor that still stands today.
With the arrival of the Emperor and his technology other planets in the system where colonized and the Adaptus Mechanicus found a suitable moon around the 8th planet and turned it into a secrete forge world. The system flourished and provided the imperium valuable resources. The population grew to over ten billion and spanned four planets .
Shortly before the out break of the Horus Heresy contact was lost with the system and a Fleet consisting of marine bothers from the World Eaters and White Scars where sent to investigate. Upon arrival to the system it is known the World Eaters betrayed the fleet destroying it. Very little information about what happened the White Scars force is known, at that time. Due to the out break of war on Terra an other fleet could not be sent to investigate.
one hundred fifty years passed before the Inquisition sent an agent to find out what happened. The Inquisitor was able to discover that the White Scars commander Krugra Khan had made it to the planets surface of Teta Prime with a very small force. No marines where to be found and the entire planets population had been wiped out. It was the same on all the inhabited world including the forge world of Ixanus XII. It was there he discovered what had wiped the inhabitants out- Necrons. He was attacked and was forced to destroy the moons reactors sacrificing two-thirds of the moon's factories as well as himself.
The Tetan System was quarantined files where erased or declared classified. It was forgotten by all.
Nearly two hundred years ago Rogue Trader Count Drystan came across Tetan Pride, a derelict battle cruiser that contained voice recordings in the ships computers of Krugra Khan. The recording stated that upon arrival of Teta Prime, Kaine, commander of the World Eaters attacked the fleet destroying over half the vessels in a single volley of torpedo fire. The remaining ships soon where over taken by boarding parties. Krugra escaped to the planets surface in a crippled Thunder Hawk. Khaine fled the system content on the carnage caused. Krugra and his thirty remaining men tracked a homing beacon to the Empress Soraya fortress monument where two thousand citizens along with the Governors entourage had barricaded themselves in. The recordings go on to tell how the mining guild unleashed some sort of metal warriors on an operation on the moon of Yago. Planet by planet fell and the survivors had ended up on Teta Prime. With the arrival of the White Scars a new hope rose among the people. They held the fortress for a month before outer walls were breached. With only a few hundred survivors left It looked bleak and preparations had been made to blow the reactor when the time came. At the Zero hour orbital bombardment laid waste to the Necrons and all seemed to be saved. Krugra and his ten remaining men saw to it that the citizens where loaded aboard the orbiting ship Tetan Pride. Krugra decided to stay behind and was given a shuttle to recover the Gene seed of his fellow brethren from the wreckage of his fleet. Tetan Pride set off towards Terra. Krugra tells of how he plans on placing the gene seed in stasis within the empress's tomb which preserves her body, Then wait for contact to be made from the Imperium.
It appears that surviving necrons teleported aboard the ship and after it was well on its way killed every living thing aboard.
Count Drystan, knowing that if he brought the information to the Inquisition it would be classified, depriving him of salvage rights, approaches White Scars High Command. Chaplin Kublia Khan of the sixth Brotherhood, a direct descendant of Krugra, was chosen to lead a mission to recover the gene seed. The entire sixth brotherhood placed under his command, as well as a battle barge and the rogue traders small fleet, sets off towards the lost system. Kablia Khan not only finds the gene seed but Krugra and his men as well. A miscalculation with the stasis field extended its coverage much wider and essentially trapped them in.
Once the System was positive to be cleansed of the Necron threat repopulation began. The Tetan System now is home to sixteen billion people. Giant hive cities have been erected on Teta Secondus while Teta Prime remains as it always has a lush green world brimming with life, with vast farms supplying the system with foodstuff. The reopening of the System has brought its share of new threats. It is believed the first planet has a small Tau force holed up under ground in vast caverns. An Iron Warriors Battalion has laid siege to Ixanus XII. It has come to my attention they are in search for an STC containing templates for men of iron. I can not confirm this at this time. The Tech Priest of Mars are as secretive as we are.
Oh I almost Forgot Count Drystan was dealt with in the manner all who withhold information from us. I will keep you posted on events in future updates.
Blessed be the servant of the God Emperor.....
Teta system (Empress Teta system)
Located near the Kuar system, the Teta system contains seven carbonite-mining worlds including Kirrek and Koros Major, and is named for the female warlord who conquered the system during the early days of space travel. Raw carbonite is produced from the Tetan mines, primarily from the thick outer rings of a gas giant in the system, and is a vital ingredient in the construction of hyperdrives. The royal descendants of Empress Teta rule the system, sharing power and profits with the leaders of the influential Carbonite Guild.
Four thousand years ago, the privileged sons and daughters of the Tetan royalty began experimenting with the Dark Side of the Force, introduced to them by the royal heirs Satal Keto and Aleema. They formed a group known as the Krath, which used Sith magic and military force to quickly conquer the system. Public executions of rebellious carbonite miners were held in the central plaza of the ruling Tetan city of Cinnagar. The Krath took up residence in Cinnagar's iron citadel, which contains an inner city and an opulent palace behind its walls. Beneath the citadel are underground dungeons and a vast cavern, where the Krath hung political prisoners. The Jedi knight Ulic Qel-Droma, following a Tetan attack on a Deneban Jedi assembly, traveled to Cinnagar in order to learn the Krath's Dark Side secrets. In the ensuing months Satal Keto was killed and a Jedi attack force attempted to rescue Qel-Droma from the iron citadel, but he had succumbed to the Dark Side and insisted on remaining in Cinnagar.
Qel-Droma joined forces with the Sith Lord Exar Kun, and the two implemented their plans to bring about a new Golden Age of the Sith. Six months later, with the Krath armies conquering nearby systems, the warlord Mandalore chose to strike at the heart of the overextended Tetan empire. Ulic Qel-Droma defeated Mandalore in single combat, and won the warlord's loyalty and the use of his deadly armies. Later, Aleema attempted to reassert her power over the Krath forces by abandoning Qel-Droma during an attack on Coruscant, but he was rescued and eventually had Aleema killed.
Now, will you just back off?
