Kalidar - Society: When the Imperium took possession of Kalidar, it established its own people as a new ruling class, including the Planetary Governor, Administratum clerks, and factory managers. The native Kalidarians found themselves excluded from this new elite. Referring to themselves as "Pureborn," these descendants of the initial Imperial colonists occupy all positions of influence within the local economy and political structure, as well as the lower and middle ranks of the Imperial Adepta. Only the Pureborn benefit from the technological boons of the Imperium and are able to afford comfortable housing and protective gear such as dust googles. All other Kalidarians are essentially kept as conscript-workers -- slaves by any other name, a status justified by their genetic inheritance.While the Pureborn conform to the human genetic baseline, this cannot be said for the native Kalidarians whose genetic purity has largely been compromised due to over-exposure to Kalidar's harsh sun. In truth, according to the classification of the Imperium, most native Kalidarians do not register as "Human" but are considered mutants.While on most Imperial worlds such mutants would have been killed, on Kalidar they are kept alive as long as they do not deviate more than 14 points from the norm on on the Godolkind Index. This might seem surprising as Imperial tolerance usually requires no more than 3 points of deviation on the index laid out in the Godolkind Purebreed Guide. But this was a concession made to Kalidar's Planetary Governor, Lozallio Cann, by the Administratum to increase the size of the local workforce and thus guarantee the efficient export of the Lorelei crystals.As such, the natives of Kalidar are emaciated beings, pallid creatures whose skin is covered in sores, a legacy of Kalidar's sun. The overwhelming majority are also blind, their eyesight stolen by the dust. In contrast, the Imperium has issued all Kalidarians with rebreathers, usually surgically implanted, which forces the workers to be fed through nutrient packs. The Kalidarian labourers all carry large, heavy cylinders on their backs which serves as their oxygen reserve.These workers, in truth nothing more than slaves, usually work in hundred-strong chain-gangs, the chains attached to them at the neck through fixed collars. These chain gangs are employed in the crystal mines and the manufactoria. Should a worker die during his shift, he is unceremoniously cut from the chain and dumped into the dust to feed the sandmites.These harsh conditions have led several mutants to attempt to break free and join up with one of the hidden free tribes of the world, the so-called "sandscum" of Kalidar. These sandscum prefer to live far out in the desert, preferring to face the dangers of Kalidar rather than the inhuman living conditions of the hive cities. In response, Governor Cann has ordered his work force to be chemically neutered, removed of all signs of rebellion or initiative.As prolonged exposure to the Lorelei crystals may prompt the emergence of psychic powers, the native workers are tested three times a week for the development of psychic powers whilst the Pureborn population is tested twice weekly. Such is the effect of living in close proximity to the Lorelei that Kalidar has become a fixed stop for the Black Ships of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica on their tour through the Segmentum Pacificus.
