During the [[Horus Heresy]], Vostroya refused to provide regiments to the Emperor, preferring instead to reserve the population in the manufactoria blanketing the world. After the Heresy came to an end the Vostroyans agreed to supply every first born son to serve in the [[Imperial Guard]] regiments.
Vostroya technically is neither a hiveworld nor a forgeworld. Instead, it falls somewhere in between (labelled an Industrial World). It has a population of about 9.3 billion. The birth and death rates are very high, keeping the population figures fairly stable (taking into account the fact that first-born sons are extremely numerous, providing a massive amount of soldiers for the founding and reinforcement of [[Imperial Guard]] regiments.)
The landscape is extremely bleak - highly polluted. Life outside 'managed' zones is almost impossible. Animal and plant life is almost non-existent. Most food is imported.
