Homeworld
Ussar is an industrial world that had been rocked by Long Dark. Only having recently achieved a level of early Industry. Oral history and poorly preserved written records indicate that Ussar was ravaged by looting and chaos for centuries, with the administrators of the planet going underground. When the conflicts finally began to die down these same administrators rose up, forming a totalitarian government known as “Godly Plutocracy of Ussar”. With Piter returned to the Imperial Fold the world was uplifted to a level of technology equal to that of the rest of the imperium, with the tundras of the barren north being converted into the Legion’s Headquarters that would draw from the population both for the auxiliaries and Marines.
Legion Doctrine
Legion Culture & Personality
While their parent culture having only really developed with the reunion of Piter with his Legion and the influx of Ussaran born Legionaries. What is interesting to note is that there is two simultaneous cultural hearts to this legion: Those of the legionaries themselves and those of the Cossacks: an elite band of assault troops drawn from the bands of the same name from Ussar.
The most time honored and perhaps bizarre tradition (among astartes at least) is the growing, cultivation and production of Lho-Leaf. An uncommon thing and considered a Luxury originally on Ussar, by the time The Emperor had been reunited Piter had become fond of the plant and its resulting product: Lho-Leaf sticks and Lho-Leaf Tubes. As their homeworld of Ussar was brought into the fold of the imperium, and the ability to grow the plant more effectively in Habitation domes, it became customary for members of the legion to partake in the same habits as their primarch. While there are few moments of downtime in the life of an Astartes, this tradition has lead to the legion also exporting the excess Lho-Leaf tubes to the greater imperium, often catching a fair price due to their status as being “hand rolled by a legionnaire”.
Gene-seed flaws
Rather stable, the only major flaws of the Ussarsan’s Gene-Seed is the slight defects of the Melanchromatic Organ and the Oolic Kidney; With the former resulting in incredibly pale skin and the latter keeping the marine in question from lapsing into unconsciousness when affected by extreme levels of toxicity.
