'''Castellax''' was a [[Fortress World]] of the [[Iron Warriors]]. Previously an [[Imperial]] [[Mining World]], the worlds world's rich minerals had drawn the attention of the Iron Warriors whose Third [[Grand Company]] under [[Warsmith]] [[Andraaz]] launched a vicious conquest. After seizing the planet, they initiated a savage exploitation of Castellax, draining its oceans and polluting its atmosphere. The planetary populace was enslaved, forced to man infernal factories to produce supplies which were sent as tithes back to [[Medrengard]]. Entire generations of slaves were born and died in this hellish environment. To feed the planetary populace, water was extracted from the nearby moon of [[Impex V]] while food for the slaves was produced by grinding their dead into a nutritional paste.{{Fn|1a}}
The Iron Warriors centuries-long rule on the planet was maintained by a small garrison of Iron Warriors who oversaw the '''Janissaries''' and '''Mamelukes''', slave soldiers that enforced Medrengard's will upon the lowest class of slave laborers.{{Fn|1a}}
