Vostroya swore allegiance to [[Mars]] during the [[Age of Strife]]. It is ruled by the Techtriarchy, a council of Adeptus Mechanicus members and more traditional planetary government personnel/representatives. Since the [[Great Crusade]], Vostroya has acted as an industrial world, supplying arms and ammunition to the armies of the Imperium. In the ten thousand years after the crusade, the Vostroyans have continued the same task, living and dying on the production lines and complying with the endless schedule of manufacturing and assembly. {{Fn|4a}}}} During the [[Horus Heresy]], Vostroya refused to provide regiments to the [[Emperor of Mankind|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, to atone for their sins and repay their debt. {{Fn|4a}}}} Vostroya technically is neither a [[hive world]] nor a [[forge world]]. Instead, it falls somewhere in between (labelled an [[Industrial World]]). The birth and death rates of 9.3 billion inhabitants are very high, keeping the population figures fairly stable (taking into account that first-born sons are extremely numerous, providing a massive amount of soldiers for the founding and reinforcement of [[Imperial Guard]] regiments).){{Cite this}}

==Geography==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.{{Cite this}} There are seven large and distinct administrative zones/regions stretching around the planet's more temperate equatorial belt (e.g. The Magdan, Sohlsvodd, Muskha, etc). The far colder north and south are uninhabitable. Vostroya has one moon — [[Turtolsky]].{{Cite this}}

Generally Vostroyan males sport a mustache (mustaches are viewed as a sign of adulthood and masculine virility in Vostroyan society). The importance of a mustache for Vostroyan men varies depending on the region they come from. The people of Muskha, for example, place extreme levels of importance on having a mustache. A man without one is considered to be openly rejecting his manhood.{{Cite this}}
