"With great wealth comes great arrogance."

A lost colony of the underhanded Chorda dynasty.

Astrography

The white-yellow sun of Grace shines dimly on two major planetary bodies. Grace Prime is the world colonized by arrogance and inhabited by madmen. The Teardrop is a gas giant guarding Grace Prime from asteroids and meteors. Also littering the system are a handful of wrecks and man-made structures lost to the warp or the Green Tide.

Grace Prime

A mad and raging world synonymous with Folly.

Planetology

A world of deep seas, jagged mountain ranges and cruel, unpredictable weather, Grace Prime is a planet of stark contrasts. Its beautiful mountain vistas are best viewed from behind heavy void shields, since Grace Prime's lightning and hail storms wreak havok on unprotected travellers. The planet's scenic valleys, a majestic sight as the early morning sun illuminates the mountaintops in golden light, are located on the world's thin habitable zone on the planet's equator. The valleys are now littered with the ruins of the colony of arrogance and its survivors, the deadly human predators. The mountain range reaches around the planet's equator, surrounded by vast, stormy seas. The seas turn into polar caps in the world's north and south poles, covered in eternal ice and snow.

The fungi of Grace is its only form of life, apparently evolved from a single pre-historic fungus. The humble fungus takes many forms, most common of which is the omnipresent grey growth along the slopes of the Golden Valleys. Otherwise inedible, the fungus was used to manufacture Grace Gyn, a highly intoxicating local beverage.

Socialogy

Port Chorda is the once thriving spaceport and initial landing zone for all supplies for the wealthy recluses of Grace. The old commercial town center held on, in many ways, as the only bastion of psudo-civilization after the planet became isolated.

Signal Station One is a mall signal station at the northern icecap which housed the planet’s astropathic choir, now holds little more then psychic echoes.

The Dagger of Fate was the original void dock, though nearly unrecognizable now under the weight of Ork customization.

History

Originally colonized by Rogue Trader Aspyce Chorda, the Grace system had no immediate value. It had hardly any valuable resources, its only habitable planet barely capable of sustaining life. Grace Prime's mountains and valleys were not suited for farmland, making it dependent on food transports arriving from Footfall.

The shrewd Chorda saw opportunity in Grace nevertheless. She facilitated numerous Imperial renegades, allowing them to build their impressive manors on Grace's mountains and valleys. Protected from Grace Prime's fierce lightning storms under their void shields and gold-plated rockrete walls, the renegades housed on Grace enjoyed a life of debased luxury for decades, paying tithe to Chorda, whose fleet supplied the planet with food, slaves and luxuries from the Imperium while carrying their spies back to the Calixis Sector.

A violent warp storm struck Grace approximately thirty years ago. The same storm tossed Chorda's supply fleet off course and many ships were lost in the warp forever. As the storm persisted, all known safe warp routes to the system were lost as well – and so was the colony.

When the supplies the colony depended on didn't arrive, despair set in slowly but certainly. The renegades hunkered in their manors. The most desperate begun attacking their neighbours for much-needed foodstuffs. Soon, the entire Grace Prime's fragile alliances forged between the colonies were torn apart in a desperate bid for survival – waiting for the rescue that would never come. The Emperor had finally caught up with them and was punishing them for their crimes, the local prophets and madmen concluded.
