Rysgah is an Imperial corrosive volcanic world, whose almost limitless geothermal energy is used to power its defensive networks. The world's capital city, Rysgah City, lies within an extinct volcano that looks like a mouth rimmed with broken teeth. The city once fell to Rysgah's traitorous PDF who fell to Heresy, after learning that Chaos forces were making their way through the neighboring Arx Gap. Fearing that Rysgah would be destroyed when the Chaos forces invaded, the PDF instigated a rebellion, but this was later beaten back by Imperial forces. The surviving PDF retreated, leaving several cities filled with dead loyalists, and gained control of Rysgah City. The Imperial Navy tried to bombard the traitors into submission, but the city's sheer volcano walls and defense network made this impossible. The PDF meanwhile, simply waited for the Chaos forces to arrive, so they could join them and hand the city over. This likely meant those loyal Rysgahans within the city, which numbered in the hundreds of thousands, would be executed if that occurred. In order to prevent that from happening and end the stand off, several Platoons from the 158th Elysian Drop Troops Regiment deployed into Rysgah City, while under fire from its defense network. Those that survived the landing, defeated the traitorous PDF and reclaimed the city for the Imperium.[1]
However the rebellion had left Rysgah without a functioning government or PDF and it was still in the path of Chaos forces advancing through the Arx Gap. Evacuating the world's population was too problematic for the Imperium to undertake, as was leaving anything other than a token garrison for Rysgah's protection. It is not known what became of Rysgah, after the rebellion was ended.[1]
