Planet Obesh

A minor Hive World, Obesh was originally founded M38. It's growth has been slowed by unusally heavy tithes, resulting in a large portion of it's able bodied citizens being sent offworld to serve in the Imperial Guard. Obesh is 80% land mass, with four major continent. Obesh currently has 20 billion citizens, mostly contained in the Hive City, Obesh Prime, located on the western seaboard of the largest continent, surrounded by large agriculture plots. Obesh was founded primarily as a source of guardsmen, the planet chosen because it had the capability to sustain a sizable population before outside supplies were needed. The high tithe rate is supposedly temporary, and required due to the large amount of ongoing conflicts in the Calxis sector. Beyond the supply of guardsmen, Obesh has a minor manufactory as well as orbital facilties. While not rivaling those of locations such as Port Wander or Scintilla, Obesh has become a popular, if not isolated, stop on trade routes through Jericho Reach. Due to it’s isolation, and relatively limited Arbites presence, and high trade volume, compared to some systems, smugglers enjoy using Obesh as a point to transfer cargo, hiding themselves in plain sight among the honest traders who visit Obesh.

Obesh is the 4th of 7 planets in it’s solar system, located on the coreward edge of the Jericho Reach. The solar system itself has an usually high amount of asteroids, with large asteroid belts spanning from the 2nd planet, to out beyond the 7th planet.
