Elysia is a world of the Imperium surrounded by wilderness space.[1]


Overview

The areas surrounding the planet are known for their pirates due to the many barren moons, gas clouds, and asteroid fields that provide perfect cover for the outlaws. The Elysians have been forced to master the art of ship-to-ship boarding actions and fighting in concert with orbital support in the face of the threat of pirates.[1]

Elysia is most well known for the regiments it provides for the Imperial Guard, known as the Elysian Drop Troops.[1]

History

Sometime after the Great Rift's creation, Elysia was invaded by a large force of Chaos Space Marines. In order to prevent the invaders from becoming a threat to Terra, the Adeptus Custodes Captain-General Trajann Valoris has led the Fury of Terra Shield Host, to battle against the traitors. The proceeding war saw the forces of Chaos defeated and Elysia saved.[2][3]
