Iblis

Iblis is one of the systems claimed by the Helios Dominion.

## Iblis I (Small Planet)

A hellish planet of magma seas dotted with small islands and a crushing atmosphere, it is nevertheless rich in rare resources. Notably, it has a ring hinting it might have had a moon once and it is inhabited by a xenos species very similar to the golems on Atlantis I

## Iblis II (Small Planet)

An unremarkable barren rocky planet only notable for having the right mass for 1G gravity. (2 moons)

2 Small Moons

## Iblis III (Small Gas Giant)

Gas giant that seems composed mostly of Nitrogen (47 moons including Iblis Prime)

7 Large Moons

20 Medium Moons

20 Small Moons

### Description

Iblis is the name of the largest moon of the gas giant designated as Atropos . The tale of the planet’s founding is a strange one.

The planet was discovered by a rogue trader named Arnso Legato who after surveying the planet reported his discovery to the imperium, which decided to colonise it.

However the planned colonisation fleet never arrived instead came a crusade fleet composed mainly of Shaytan regiments who were supposed to be aiding in repealing Dark Eldar raids on the planet Herfa in the Sol Segmentum .

What arrived on Herfa were unfortunate colonists who were captured by the dark eldar and taken to a fate best left unknown.

It is believed that the reason for this mishap was a beacruatic error resulting in switching the assignments.

Nevertheless the Shaytanians found themselves on an airless rock with limited supplies and a warp storm trapping them in system and cutting contact with the imperium.

The story would have ended here and then had it not been for them discovering and activating , 9 massive mobile fortresses , no doubt relics from the Dark Age. These were entirely self sufficient and provided a home for the Shaytanians who made a home on the moon they now called Iblis.

When rediscovered the fortresses had become moving cities moving across the planet to avoid the constant Earthquakes and to harvest resources. Outraged many in the Mechanicus demanded that the Iblisians be exterminated for desecrating holy technology but the resources provided by the nine cities as bribes have thus far dettered any serious attempt at attacks.

The moon developed a close relationship with Atlantis as the latter were generous enough to provide aid in preventing their mobile cities from falling into ruin. There was a minor wave of migration from Iblis to Atlantis which formed the core of the Iblisian community that exists to this day.

### The Crusade and Atlantean reconquest

Unfortunately for Iblis , they were targeted by an imperial “unification crusade” , the Iblisians welcomed their supposed allies but were immediately betrayed , their orbitals destroyed and their armies beaten by the imperium after a long grinding war that cost the crusade much.

The Mechanicus was eager to punish the Iblisans for their “heresy” of daring to tinker with holy technology and quickly enslaved them under horrible conditions to mine the planet’s resources to provide resources for the crusade armies. After the crusade left the Iblisians found no respite as they were forced to destroy their own cities as the mechanicus culled their number regularly to make way for future colonists. Rebellion was prevented by a narcotic that destroyed higher brain functions and made the iblisians into complacent cattle.

By the time the Atlantean armies conquered Iblis with ease , the population had been thoroughly decimated thanks to decades of delibrate genocide which has reduced the population from one billion to less than five million, a reduction of 99.5%. Iblis’ future looks bleak.
