'''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}}
Despite being understrength, the Grenadiers were able to hold Pyran against the Chaos incursions, bringing the raiders to battle in an ambush outside the planet's only town. The Grenadiers won a decisive victory which forced the Chaos army to retreat from Imperial space entirely. Following this, the Grenadiers' [[Colonel]] declared [[Right of Conquest]], claiming Pyran and settling the regiments' survivors on the planet - the only time in recorded Imperial history that the Right has been invoked over a planet in the [[Armageddon sub-sector]].{{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}}
