Overview
Praedis Zeta is situated eighty light years from the Forge World of Hypnoth on the Eastern Fringe. It has long supplied Hypnoth with raw materials and as a result of its importance is heavily populated, with its volcanic surface covered in polluted hive cities that house billions.[1]
However, Praedis Zeta is not like other worlds of the Vidar Sector for it is not overseen by a noble family but rather an Imperial Governor known as Holt. The reason for this stricter form of rule is due to the fact that the planet is also the homeworld of the Imperius Reavers Space Marine Chapter. Thus none dare step out of line as punishment is historically very harsh.[1]
History
In 645.M39, the Genestealer Magus Bijall Calcearius initiated an uprising by Hybrids on the planet, forcing the local PDF, Arbites, and the Imperius Reavers themselves to intervene.[1]
