Sarcistan System

A relatively new Imperial system, settled in mid M40, albeit with a 500-year dark age in mid M41 where contact with the wider Imperium was lost.

= Inner System =

Sarcistan I & II
Binary planets of very similar mass

Sarcistan III (Feral World)
Long-ago fertile world turned to arid desert. Scattered nomadic tribes, hostile to outsiders, eke out a living amongst the dunes. Most tribes follow the relatively survivable winters in an annual migration around the more polar latitudes, though some hide out in cool caverns deep in the bedrock to avoid the boiling summer temperatures.

Mostly Iron Age level technology, with revered artifacts of imperial technology being handed down across generations.

= Mid System =

Sarcistan IV (Civilised world)
Industrial level tech

Extensive use of dirigibles

Sarcistan V (Agri World)
Pre-industrial level tech

Sarcistan VI (Fortress World)
Low Imperial level tech

Regiments equipped with lasguns, flak, and plenty of explosives; but otherwise relatively low tech

= Outer System =

Sarcistan VII (Mining World)
Early space level tech

Sarcistan VIII
Titanic gas giant with huge rings, which keeps the inner and mid system safe from extrasolar objects, but harbours threats of its own. In amongst the rings live a race of large void-borne xenos creatures of limited intelligence and apparently mineral-based biology. Voidship captains are warned to give the planet a wide berth.

Sarcistan IX
Relatively small gas giant with a rich atmosphere just waiting to be extracted.
