==History==
Vostroya swore allegiance to [[Mars]] during the [[Age of Strife]]. 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}}
