Satyraes XII is a Forge World of the Imperium.[1]
History
It is said that in ancient times, the people of Satyraes XII worshiped its great forest stags as gods, who they saw as the forerunner manifestation of the Emperor. It eventually become the homeworld of the Legio Defensor Titan Legion.[1]
Upon the rediscovery of Satyraes XII by the 914th Expeditionary Fleet of the Great Crusade, it was noted that its population maintained a fanatical devotion to the Omnissiah. This manifested on its three moons, which were terraformed into enormous industrial-cathedrals. In accordance with principles laid down upon the world’s founding, the work completed within the forges of Satyraes XII was to be dictated by devotional sigils broadcast via lumen displays positioned on the Forge World’s moons that, when activated, could be observed from the planet below. Such displays were monitored by a dedicated sect of Magi Logis which accurately plotted the movement of Satyraes’ celestial bodies and, through that, divined the Omnissiah’s will and dictated it to the Forge World. Each sigil held meaning to the planet’s Tech-Priests, with further complexity divined depending on the moon from which a sigil was broadcast. In turn, these sigils dictated the work patterns of Satyraes XII and the goods each forge would produce at a given time, the illuminated celestial bodies a permanent reminder of the Omnissiah’s presence. These signals failed only twice, once during a failure that saw a six-week shutdown of the world. The second instance saw a shutdown of 14.56 seconds which led to a vicious 72-year civil war that saw the Nova Guard as a major combatant. Upon the end of the Horus Heresy, many returning Nova Guard Princeps began to worship the Emperor, declaring the Omnissiah as his mere prophet.[2]
