Editing Vetrovnak


'''This page details people, events, and organisations from [[The /tg/ Heresy]], a fan re-working of the Warhammer 40,000 Universe.'''

The vetrovnak are the soldiers and overseers of the eponymous Vetrovnak Human Protectorate - a fringe empire with aspirations of challenging the Imperium of Man for the right to rule over all humanity. They themselves are super soldiers genetically engineered from human stock and augmented by alien nanotechnology designed to resist the corrupting touch of the Warp both in mind and body.

=History=
==Early Beginnings==
Mankind could never content itself with just having one of something. A single planet wasn't enough. A single system wasn't enough. A single sector wasn't enough. Hundreds weren't enough. Thousand's weren't enough. So if anyone thought that when humanity reached the very edges of the galaxy they would finally be content they would be fools. That was just another boundary to be crossed - a problem to be solved in due time.

In the start of the 23rd millennium humanity began an ambitious project: they would take a brave leap out of the galaxy through the cold and empty void to small, bright globular cluster that become known in the galactic east as the Hvar Cluster. It was still relatively speaking close to home, hovering 7,000 light years over the galactic plane. None the less it was still an epic undertaking. No expenses were spared in building the expedition fleet, it was outfitted with the best equipment and technology of the age and assembled by masters of the trade. No precaution was too outrageous to include. It would be mankind's finest hour yet, a testament to their perseverance and prestige. The 500,000 strong crew set off into the dark, carrying everything they needed to create humanities' newest outpost - haven of science to study the dark of the void itself.

Upon reaching the Hvar Cluster the fleet set to the work of finding a place to build their new home. While they were equipped to make even an airless rock liveable a terrestrial world was of course preferred. While they had known ahead of time there were in fact worlds for the taking they were surprised to find one already bearing life - primitive life but life none the less - with clear signs that it had been visited by some alien civilization aeons ago. They had left behind a great station that hung in the planet's orbit with a mighty beacon that pointed out into the void beyond. Here they settled. Supplies would come and the knowledge wrested from the ruins and the dark would return to the galaxy proper for the benefit of all mankind. Over the new few hundred years colony would grow and prosper from the fruit of their research until one day they their bi-yearly resupply was late.
