Kaleth

Kaleth is a planet in the Ilios System, and was once one of the worlds in the now-destroyed Ilios Conglomerate. It served as the original homeworld of the now-extinct Laer species, and home to many Chaos cultists. 
== History ==
At some unknown point in time, the serpentine Laer had evolved on Kaleth. It is unknown if they ever achieved space travel before the Inhumans arrived, but the only other world dominated by Laer was Oniliz. 
During an unknown point in time, millions of renegade Inhumans fled to the Ilios System, meeting the Laer and incorporating them into their Chaos-worshiping society. 
When the planet was first encountered by the Alliance, the Union sent some of their spies to infiltrate Kaleth. The spies reported the horrifying things they have seen. Both the Laer and the Inhuman colonists, surprisingly, did not worship any of the current Chaos Gods (Malice, Nurgle, Khorne, and Tzeentch), but instead were celebrating the coming of another. The cultists wore shades of purple and pink, and often bore a rune representing their soon-to-be god. They mentioned their god via multiple names: She Who Thirsts, the Lord of Excess, the Prince of Pain and Pleasure, or simply the Dark Prince. The Alliance then engaged in a ten day battle against the planet's defense fleet, managing to burn the planet to a crisp. 
== Physical Description ==
The planet was somewhat rocky, the stone having turned a shade of pale red by unknown (possibly supernatural) means. Various cities were present, featuring towering spires and monoliths of metal and stone, bearing runes that depicted their foreseen god. A large portion of the population were the Laer, a species of serpent-like aliens that had fully incorporated themselves into the Conglomerate. 
The inhabitants had foreseen the coming of another Chaos God, who would serve as the fourth main god of the pantheon. This god would manifest itself eventually in the form of Slaanesh, who accurately fit the Kalethites' descriptions.
As a planet of the Conglomerate, it had its own defense fleet, and its population was expected to fight at all times. The warriors of Kaleth often rushed into battle with little armor to protect themselves, and would often capture their enemies and torture them for hours before finally allowing them the pleasure of death. The inhabitants, as per their customs, also bore an incredible physique that was beyond that of the beings on any other world. As such, it made it very difficult for Alliance troops to have to destroy such rare and authentic beauty. 
The planet is now barren and lifeless. This was one of few worlds left untouched by the fractured Nurgle cults in the war's aftermath.
