Departmento Cartographicae pict-fil of the Imperial civilised world of Myrr.

**Myrr** (pronounced as Mire) is an Imperial civilised world which is located in the Segmentum Tempestus. Heavy Imperial presence is needed in this world as it is susceptible to raiders and xenos assaults.

## Background History

The planet of Myrr was first founded during the early days of the 800.M36 by a small band of merchants, whose ship has crashed landed on the swampy surface. Upon exiting their ships, scouts noted that there are many different species of wild animals around. After exhausting the remaining rations of their destroyed ship, the scouts started to hunt the animals for food. The settlers decided to name the planet "Myrr" as to reflect the overall mud and swamps all around the planet. The people of Myrr, also known as the Myrrians decided to start building a settlement around their crashed ship.

Myrr was turned into an Industry-Heavy planet after a change of leadership. Due to the abundance of food and leather in the planet, the outer edges of the city was turned into an Industrial zone. Low-level Myrrians were forced into harsh labour to produce the materials for it to be exported out. Due to the harsh living conditions of the low-level populations, some groups decided to horde crude weapons in order to ambush the military patrols in the sector and form gangs. These gangs eventually got seduced by various heretical materials and starts worshipping various Chaos gods in the Underworld.

Myrr is dependent on wind farms for electricity. Due to the relatively strong winds and low sunlight probability, Myrrians adapted to the environment fairly quickly after setting up wind farms in the Industrial Zone.
