Ile

The thunder-struck world of Ile lays in the Gothic Sector of Segmentum Obscurus and was settled mostly to help provide a secure point in a long supply chain. The world itself is a desert world with a livable are around the tropics of the planet. This area is a hot savannah but the resilient people who colonized the planet turned it from a muggy hellscape to a agricultural miracle through hard work. The tropics are regularly wracked by short but violent storms and lightning has an odd tendency to strike even when there is hardly a cloud in the sky (something attributed to the ionization in the atmosphere).
Ile’s economy is based around technological work and the Adeptus Mechanicus has several R&D bases located on its surface. Because of this much of Ile’s population is very well educated and compulsory. While not a forge world, they produce a number of high tech components that are used in many weapons of war that the Imperium uses. These are often parts for targeting systems used in tanks, spaceships, and advanced weapons.
Politically Ile is nominally a monarchy with the current king serving the Imperial Governor (or perhaps vice versa). An flexible caste system is in place based on the role of the individual within society. The Kekere are the lowest caste who do manual labor jobs with a high chance of death. Being a Kekere is often a punishment for criminals and their descendants do not inherit it but become Arin instead. Arin, the middle caste, are general laborers and other kinds of citizens. They do not enjoy a particularly affluent lifestyle but their basic needs are meet. The Oke are the upper crust and, like being a Kekere, it is not something that can be inherited. Arin who graduate from one of the prestigious academies here, soldiers who distinguish themselves, or managers in the factories are promoted to this position. They enjoy many state sponsored niceties and, when they retire, are taken care of for life. Oke are almost exempt from punishment for mistreating the lower castes- often just getting a slap on the wrist for murder. Above the Oke are the Olori, the ruling caste. There are few families in the Olori caste and only an Oke can be made a Olori by special distinction. The head of each Olori clan must all agree to induct a new person to their ranks. Being Olori is hereditary, passed down by the first child. However, if one of your parents was Olori you are Olori too- even if you cannot pass it on (such as the 2nd child of an Olori). Olori serve as regional governors, overseers of factories, generals, etc.
== Jagunjagun ==
Those who pass the grueling and sometimes fatal officer’s school on Ile are commissioned as Lieutenants and assigned to the Jagunjagun. The Jagunjagun are an elite anti-armor infantry unit that often accompany the tanks of the Esu. They train not only with explosives but also in field-repair skills for vehicles. Many are already trained on vehicles and act as crews for Chimeras, Hydras, an occasionally Basilisks.
== Esu ==
The proud warriors of the Esu are masters of armored tactics and engineering. They mainly crew Leman Russ Tanks and, less commonly, field support artillery. They favor the Vanquisher anti-armor variant of the Leman Russ but they regularly employ the Eradicator variant for siege-breaking. A legend amongst them are the “Thunder of Ile”, a complement of three Baneblades staffed by the Esu that have earned a reputation as a killer of other superheavy vehicles.
== Storm Blood Separatists ==
The Storm Bloods are separatist movement on Ile has significant influence on the planet. They believe the Imperium’s influence has lead to a degeneration in society and point to every societal ill as evidence. They look down upon the Kekere as examples of this as they believe that those born on Ile are of a noble heritage. They are not outwardly known as the "Storm Blooded" but use many fronts, the term is a pejorative one that their detractors use to describe those with such viewpoints. They hold much sway in the government, mostly through back channels, and their growing influence on Ilen has piqued the interest of many inquisitors. As the movement has grown slowly and secretly over the last century, it hasn't been caught or at least considered a real threat until recently. The commander of the planet's ranger regiment, Colonel Basir Jaja, is a core member of the movement who has greatly benefited from their support. He is secretly a spy for them, feeding them intel on various governmental happenings.
== Military Forces ==
* Ilen 1st Armored Regiment (The Esu)
* Ilen 1st Ranger Regiment (The Redhawks)
== Notable Natives of Ile ==
* Inquisitor Grace Parmenion: A contemporary inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos. She was of the Arin caste and is famous for her study of the Eldar. She is known for her clinical detachment, decorum, and possible sociopath.
* Sister Harmony: A wise Sister Hospitaller who is part of Inquisitor Parmenion’s retinue. She previously served  Inquisitor Herschel.
* Mad Magos Vitruvius: A Kekere, cast out for apparent madness, who was later taken into the Adeptus Mechanicus. He eventually rose to the rank of Magos and ran an R&D lab on Ile. He suffers from painful visions which always resulted in brilliant discoveries and a deeper understanding of the machine spirits he was working with. What at first appeared to be madness, mutation, or psychic powers (or all three) was proven to the satisfaction of the Inquisition to be divine visions. Some of his creations were bizarre but always served a greater purpose for the Imperium. It is said that his journal is filled with inspired, divine, imagery written in a language he could not have learned, in a cipher only early Inquisitors knew. It is a protected manuscript, held by the Adeptus Mechanicus on Mars. After his death a number of tech priests discovered his journal and split with the Adeptus Mechanicus to continue his work. The renegade group currently works with the Emperor's Marauders, calling themselves "The Sons of the Dragon".
