Planet Info
Sector: Canderous
Planet: Karnja
Designation: Hive World.
Land/ocean ratio: Aquas
Karnja is a world ripe for the influence of Chaos to tear it from the grasp of the Imperium. Nearly two hundred years have passed since the destructive event known most commonly by the inhabitants of Karnja as the Destructive War, as it changed the face of Karnja for the worse. The total destruction of the planetary capital, as well as many of the hives has damaged Karnja, though it had made the planet that much more dangerous.
The previous exports of Karnja mostly consisted of fish, chemicals and ores.
The main export of Karnja is now men, specifically Imperial Guard.
Hive Galeon
The capital is Hive Galeon, a former manufacturing and chemical hive (while still functioning in that capacity) now serves as the seat of power due to the fact that it is the largest remaining hive. The planetary governor is Raphael Dresden, a noble who is more accustomed to the dueling field than to politics and rely on his advisers to do his job.
There are 4 levels to Hive Galeon, from the top:
Top: Seat of Planetary power, with the governor's spire being highest of them all. Shielded from the constant rain by force fields and seeing the sun is a regular occurance in this part of the hive.
Mid/ground: Manufacturing and housing for the workers of the vast factoriums. One thing that can be said about Karnja, it arms their own men.
Underhive: Chemical storage and slave camps for the noble houses take place here, as well as the housing for the poorer residents of the Hive.
Below hive: The bottom of the Hive, the most notable feature is a gigantic lake of waste water. The lake has many names, though all seem to refer to it as nasty, and perhaps quasi-drinkable. Crime is rampant in the Under and Below hives, with gangs battling over Territory and whatever else they fight for. Some just like to fight.
Important people (other than PG): Redemptionist Retleon, a fanatical believer in the Imperial Creed, his words and flamer have reclaimed the souls of many, heretic and mutant alike.
Agri-Hive Tersa
Agri-Hive Tersa is the second newest hive on Karnja and it was brought in by a number of rather interesting Rogue Traders on the notion of turning a large profit. While Galeon has four levels, Tersa only has two.
Top: Agricultural farming under a number of domes to protect the plants from acid rain and to focus the sunlight that filters in under Karnja's near constant cloud cover.
Mid/ground: Adeptus Biologicus laboratories and housing for the workers.
Most important person in hive: Magos Biologicus Kerstin, an ancient member of the Adeptus Biologicus who was hired by the Rogue Traders. His/It's manipulations of plants have served to stop Karnja from starving.
Hive Celon
While Hive Galeon is the seat of power, Hive Celon is arguably the most important hive on Karnja. Like Hive Tersa, Celon has two levels.
Top: Schola Progenium and various other schools for those showing promise or deep pockets. Unlike normal Schola Progeniums, this one allows non-orphans to attend, due to the popularity of serving in one of Karnja's military units (IG being the most popular).
Mid/Ground: Administration takes place here, with endless amounts of scribes working to ensure that Karnja's records stay up to date (at least).
Important people: Lord-Commissar Alaran Arkad, a veteran of numerous campaigns in which Karnja IG were vital in the success of the campaign, serves as a famous figure for the entirety of the planet, with exploits of his frequently serving as recruitment material for the planet. Thankfully, his methods are not killing his own men at any opportunity, only when he must.
Head Archivist Alexander, a man old even by the standards of the Imperium, served Karnja endlessly for nearly three centuries, making him one of the rare surviving survivors of the Destructive War. Kept alive by rejubilant treatments, he knows nearly everything there is to know about Karnja. The problem is getting an appointment to meet him.
Spaceport Derlan
Spaceport Derlan is the newest feature on Karnja, having been placed after the Destructive War. Serving as a vital artery for Karnja, Derlan used to commonly play host to Imperial Navy vessels, though they have long since left, leaving only a number of monitor ships with the rare Rogue Trader visiting every now and then.
Important people: Rogue Trader Tristan Zel. A Rogue Trader of navy bearing, Tristan Zel uses Karnja as a port of call, always injecting new life into Karnja with his every visit. His ship, a Light Cruiser called "His Express Permission", was a former Navy vessel which has quite the past of Chaos hunting. Zel is not a man to be screwed with.
