==Overview==
It is a formidable world, known for its [[plasma weapon]]s and vehicles mounted with them, such as the feared [[Leman Russ Executioner]] (which is no longer produced by any other Forge World){{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2b}} and the [[Stormblade]] [[Super Heavy Tank]] (which was first developed on Ryza).{{Fn|2c}} The Forge World is home to the [[Collegia Titanica]] [[Legio Crucius]] (Warmongers).{{Fn|2a}} The world had been attacked by not one but two of the [[Ork]] [[Waaagh!]] — [[Waaagh! Grax]]{{Fn|3a}} and [[Waaagh! Rarguts]]{{Fn|6}}. During the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]] though, Waaagh! Grax was finally defeated, but disaster struck the Forge World, in the aftermath of the [[Great Rift]]'s creation and Ryza soon found itself invaded by hordes of [[Daemons]]. Now, only the presence of the numerous [[Astra Militarum]] [[Regiments]] that were sent to originally deal with the Ork Waaaghs!, have prevented the Forge World from falling to the forces of [[Chaos]].{{Fn|5}}
