### Description

Ansazia is one of the prized jewels of the Helios sector. A civilised that survived the age of strife with its technology intact it was discovered by the imperium three thousand years ago making it among the oldest planets in the sector.

Ansazia is ruled by an elitist caste that call themselves the Ana’si . Genetically modified to the peak of human strength, speed and intelligence and live in suborbital sky cities that are pristine and advanced technologically with its environment carefully controlled to a standard similar to ancient Holy Terra.

However the rest of the planet is a populated hellhole with most of the population living in slavery in dirty disease ridden overcrowded hives where order is maintained only by the brutality of the local arbitrators known as the Marsei (or faceless ones in the local language) , who are recruited from the non-Ana’si lower castes but are psychologically engineered from childhood into absolute obedience to their masters.

The Ana’si believe in their racial superiority over all other humans (on Ansazia at least, they tend not to be so presumptive when talking with imperial authorities). They maintain an authoritarian rule over the rest of the people who work the menial jobs that the Ana’si are loathe to do.

They maintain their rule through possessing a great amount of advanced technology from the dark age and the imperium which gives an edge over the masses who rarely have anything like an auto-gun let alone a lasgun.

Ansazia joined the imperium voluntarily and without a fight and as such were allowed to maintain their autonomy in most matters. They also readily converted to the imperial cult its creeds often resonating with their own native beliefs. The lowborn were less accepting but a few cleansings and failed rebellions later they had no choice lest they be exterminated.

Ansazia is prised for the high quality imperial guard regiments it produces which always come from the Ana’si classes and are well equipped and trained, not mention often bloodied and experienced from putting down the never ending uprisings and chaos rebellions that so often happen in the hives.

The Ana’si are distinguishable by having golden eyes and hair which they believe is a sign of them being a chosen people of the emperor, who they worship as their protector from the dark hordes and who will return one day when the galaxy has been appropriately cleansed .

### Atlantean conquest

After Atlantis beat the imperial crusade it underwent a major expansion and the Ansazian conquest was the climax of that effort. The Atlantean military coordinated with their rebel contacts so that the invasion force would arrive just as the slave caste rebelled against their Ana’si masters.

In the confusion , the orbitals were taken swiftly and the

The war was bloody and brutal, the Ana’si were well equipped and fanatic who were not above using tactics such as chemical attacks and suicide bombers , and made the atlanteans and the rebels pay dearly for each inch taken.

The battle field being urban negated most of the Atlantean advantages in technology and the sky cities could not be bombarded from orbit lest they fall down on the planet causing a disaster.

Despite this the Atlanteans were able to slowly grind the Atlanteans and made several breakthroughs thanks to their armoured divisions and the ruthless skirmisher tactics.

Unfortunantly seeing that the war was lost and not being keen on being taken captive and wanting to kill as many enemies as possible for the emperor , many sky cities successfully commited suicide by disabling their anti-grav fields and crashing down on the planet in a grand cataclysm that wiped out the majority of peope down on the surface as well as destroying Ansazia’s already shaken ecology.

Still it could have been worse had the Atlanetans not taken 6 of the skycities before they could do the same.

### Aftermath

Ansazia is now in a dire state though Atlantean aid is relieving that. The slaves were moved into the remaining sky cities while the surface is cleared . The planet being rich in several valuable materials had made it candidate for becoming a forgeworld and will likely see more devleopment in the future.

Sephyr, a leader of the rebellion, now serves as the de facto ruler of Ansazia but is working to create a functional government that can outlive him.

As for the Ana’si who survived, they now to get to experience a slow , painful extinction as their children were butchered , their youth sterilised and are now being used as cheap slave labour to help rebuild Ansazia to its former, pre imperial glory as they die.
