'''Pyran''' is a [[Civilised World]] of the [[Imperium]] whose inhabitants are governed by a strict caste system. It is the homeworld of [[Imperial Guard Regiment]]s known as the [[Pyran Dragoons]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
Originally colonised by the Imperium in [[M34]], not long before the [[Sinto Uprising]] took place in the [[Justicar Sub-Sector]], which led to a rise in incidents involving [[Chaos]] raiders in [[Armageddon Sector|the region]]. One of the units raised to counter this were the [[Tyler Grenadiers]] [[Imperial Guard Regiments]], which were deployed on Pyran after a series of actions that had left the Grenadiers extremely depleted of manpower.{{Fn|1}}
==Society==Over the millennia, Pyran's society became heavily stratified, and is now a strict caste-based system. The Pyrans are bound by traditions to such a degree that many off-worlders find it difficult to comprehend.{{Fn|1}} At the tip of the planet's society is the ruling [[Imperial Governor]], who is selected by the [[Adeptus Terra]] from among the leaders of the planet's '''Greater [[Noble House]]s'''. Beneath these are the '''Lower Houses''', and so on down to the plebians.{{Fn|1}} The social standing of the Noble Houses rests almost entirely on the social graces of the House's scions. Service in the planet's [[Imperial Guard Regiment|regiments]], the [[Pyran Dragoons]], grants a tremendous boon to any man's social standing. As a result of this, many officers' commissions are purchased, rather than being earned in battle.{{Fn|1}} ==See Alsoalso==
