*'''ProsperityRyza Secundus''' - Massive artificial station above the planet, more akin to a moon than a space station. Constructed over a number of centuries, it bristles with weaponry and repair stations. It is large enough to house an entire [[Expeditionary Fleet]] of the [[Great Crusade]].{{Fn|7b}}*'''Continent of Founding''' - The first city founded upon of Ryza's continents settled. By the time of the [[Imperium]] it was the less populated of the worldtwo for much of its resources had been plundered after colonization.{{Fn|77b}}**'''EndeavourProsperity''' - sister The oldest settlement of Ryza and among the strongest and most important centers. It houses mass processing centers which assess the quality of Ryza's products, discarding all found wanting. Vast mag trains flow from the city and to various manufactorums.{{Fn|7b}}**'''Western Forges''' - dedicated solely to Prosperityconstructing war machines including the famed [[Stormblade]].{{Fn|77b}}**'''Salvation Isthmus''' - Artificial land strip formed from metal and rockrete lined The passageway between Ryza's two continents, dotted with manufactorumsand highways from which Reclamation Teams scour Ryza's seabed in search of anything of value.{{Fn|77b}}**'''Conveyance Terminus Nine-Omega''' - Primary Spaceport.{{Fn|77b}}*'''Sea Continent of Erudition''' - The more newly settled continent with less plundered resources. Here the Hierophant Technis of Ryza houses their Forge.**'''Fortress of Iron''' - Towering hollow mountain that serves as the bastion of Reclamationthe [[Legio Crucius]].**'''Endeavour''' - Hazardous oceanForge-City larger than that of Prosperity. Endeavour serves as a repository of knowledge, for beneath the city lay archival catacombs containing the worlds knowledge. Deeper still are the war vaults of Ryza which are sealed on the order of the [[Emperor]]. Known to only a few, it was here that [[House Sidus]] makes their home.{{Fn|77b}}**''Sea of Reclamation'Ryza Secundus''- Ryza' s primary ocean. Though once home to sea life it is now mainly sewage and industrial run-off. It serves primarily as a reservoir, heated by vast hydrothermal vents situated on the sea floor. Its pollute oceans are scoured by the Mechanicum who search for anything of value. Some on the planet see the sea as a direct link to the [[Omnissiah]] due to its innumerable chemical reactions. Ryza claims that numerous innovations have been made from the findings Tech- Artificial Moon & defense stationPriests have observed in the Sea of Reclamation including the technology to build the [[Stormblade]].{{Fn|77b}}

At some point, Ryza was settled during the [[Dark Age of Technology]] and became the center of a cult great technological empire. During the [[Age of Strife]] Ryza was isolated from other [[Tech-PriestForge World]]s known as and its colonists survived within the city of Prosperity. During these desperate times the people clung to faith.{{Fn|7b}} Thus the '''Omnissiah Igvita''' (or "Life Blood of the [[Omnissiah]]") was founded on Ryza and dedicated itself to the study of all [[Plasma]] technology.{{Fn|7}} By  When the end of Imperium arrived during the [[Great Crusade]], Ryza peacefully assimilated into the domain of the [[Emperor]]. By the end of the Great Crusade, Ryza stood second only to [[Mars]] in power and prestige among the [[Martian Mechanicum]]. Its production capability, specialty in Plasma manufacturing, and strategic location allowed it to be one of the central points for the Imperial expansion into the eastern [[Galaxy]].{{Fn|7}} During the [[Horus Heresy]] Ryza became known as a loyalist bastion in the East, leading to it being assaulted by the [[Dark Mechanicus]]. In the [[Defence of Ryza|battle that followed]] the loyalists prevailed, though over 4/5ths of the planets infrastructure was destroyed.{{Fn|7a}}
