'''Pyran''' is a [[Civilised World]] of the [[Imperium]] whose inhabitants are governed by a strict caste system. It is the homeworld of [[Imperial Guard Regiment]]s known as the [[Pyran Dragoons]].{{Fn|1}}
 
 
==History==
Originally colonised by the Imperium in [[M34]], not long before the [[Sinto Uprising]] took place in the [[Justicar Sub-Sector]], which led to a rise in incidents involving [[Chaos]] raiders in [[Armageddon Sector|the region]]. One of the units raised to counter this were the [[Tyler Grenadiers]] [[Imperial Guard Regiments]], which were deployed on Pyran after a series of actions that had left the Grenadiers extremely depleted of manpower.{{Fn|1}}
 
Despite being understrength, the Grenadiers were able to hold Pyran against the Chaos incursions, bringing the raiders to battle in an ambush outside the planet's only town. The Grenadiers won a decisive victory which forced the Chaos army to retreat from Imperial space entirely. Following this, the Grenadiers' [[Colonel]] declared [[Right of Conquest]], claiming Pyran and settling the regiments' survivors on the planet - the only time in recorded Imperial history that the Right has been invoked over a planet in the [[Armageddon sub-sector]].{{Fn|1}}
 
==Society==
Over the millennia, Pyran's society became heavily stratified, and is now a strict caste-based system. The Pyrans are bound by traditions to such a degree that many off-worlders fight it difficult to comprehend.{{Fn|1}}
 
At the tip of the planet's society is the ruling [[Imperial Governor]], who is selected by the [[Adeptus Terra]] from among the leaders of the planet's '''Greater [[Noble House]]s'''. Beneath these are the '''Lower Houses''', and so on down to the plebians.{{Fn|1}}
At the bottom The social standing of the pyramid are Noble Houses rests almost entirely on the plebians, next social graces of the nobles and at House's scions. Service in the apex the ruling planet's [[Imperial GovernorGuard Regiment|regiments]]. By tradition the governor is nominated by , the [[AdministratumPyran Dragoons]] from the Greater Noble houses of the world. Social standing within one, grants a tremendous boon to any man's caste is social standing. As a complex thingresult of this, but service many officers' commissions are purchased, rather than being earned in the [[Pyran Dragoons]] [[Imperial Guard Regiment]]s is one way common to all castes to measure standingbattle.{{Fn|1}}
