Ceocan is an Imperial Agri World located on the galactic south-east edges of Segmentum Tempestus. It is a inter-sector system that lies in Sector Ephialtis, a sector that has the Adeptus Mechanicus as the primary agent. The system holds a gas giant, 3 asteroid belts and a halo cloud that contains rich amounts of radioactive materials.[1]
Overview
The planet Ceocan itself features a wide variety of biomes, each sparsely settled, with population centres invariably tightly arranged around the production of foodstuffs. Huge grain fields and orchards cover the temperate areas. Seaweed and fish are harvested via bulk trawlers and massive underground caverns produce fungi whose blooms can grow so large and heavy that they may crush a harvester that's not careful enough. All of the machinery used to harvest the foodstuffs is fuelled by biofuels produced by the giant grain fields. Although the Imperial Tithe is described as "high", the planetary production is far in excess of the consumption. Even the poorest of peasants has more than enough food for his daily needs and tends to eat healthier and more lavish food than even very wealthy hive worlders can afford.[1]
The foodstuffs that Ceocan produces are of such high standards that they could satisfy even the pickiest of Paradise Worlds. The foodstuffs are however not shipped off for enjoyment on other worlds but are instead exported to the Adeptus Mechanicus and processed in an orbital facility named Callistonian Haven where the food is mixed and rendered down into tasteless beige paste, which is then dried and cut into bricks. These nutrient bricks are then shipped to feed the servants of the Mechanicus. The Adeptus Mechanicus have run projections and deduced that this arrangement is 2.7% more efficient than bringing in the ration bars by ship from other systems.[1]
