Editing New Terran Rangers (section)

==Vaslegas==
Vaslegas is a hiveworld considered to be, previously, a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Near entirely coated in urban terrain, there is little to none of the natural life of the world left, having been erased and turned into facilities for the people of the planet. It is very much an urban jungle with an 80's twist on it, and is essentially a giant space casino, which incidentally was its only asset to the rest of the galaxy, being very much a holiday world as well as a hiveworld. Hives look very different on Vaslegas, with even the least housing being well-furnished and luxurious in comparison to lesser hives, and the hives extend tall into the sky and atmosphere of Vaslegas, with the penthouses of the richest touching the upper atmosphere, situating themselves above the toxic smog (of which about 75 percent being various narcotics) that hangs over the lower city.

Life on Vaslegas is city life, though very much divided between crime, and the more legal crime of politics. If you are situated in the upper echelons of the world, your life would take place in mostly the clean and fresh environs of the upper spires and hive apartments of the upper city. Politicking is rife here, and only the most ruthless and intelligent survive, politicians, Casino-owners, Mob Bosses, all common players in the upper city. Mid-city is populated by those who work the casinos, and is the only place you can find those attempting to earn an honest living, however futile that may be, Casino workers, clerks, bankers, accountants, the middle class of a pleasure world, all reside here, they have earned the right to air that is at least breathable. The lower city is a remnant of an earlier time in Vaslegas' history, when it's small store of natural resources drove industry fast and hard, decimating the landscape in the process of quickly and violently excavating the planet's riches. The resultant chemical smog is a mild euphoriac and aphrodisiac, and is regarded by many as the reason this planet so quickly fell to Slaanesh, starting from the ground up. The dregs of society, and those who need to work in the shadows, live here, including the Homeless, Cultists, Thieves and Thugs, and all manner of those who wish to stay hidden or stay high.

There are 2 cities on Vaslegas, New Terra, for whom most of the planet is named, and which takes up the entire western hemisphere and half of the east, and Luna Secundus, the smallest hive city, but still enormous. New Terra was named by those first explorators to the planet before the dark age of technology, who, yearning for their home world of Terra, named it in her honour. There they first discovered the gaseous deposits of a forerunner substance used in Archaeotech at the time, and set up a mining colony, where they used experimental techniques to quickly rip the deposits from the ground. The resultant runoff was considered nondangerous, if a mild euphoric and aphrodisiac, and was for the most part ignored in favour of technological progress. The mining operation continued to expand, until supplies of the resource ran very quickly dry. The explorators had in the meantime expanded their operation to the eastern hemisphere of the planet, but found nothing there, so they set up a forward supply base and named it Luna Secundus, after the moon of terra, and it's notable sparseness. After the mining colony ran dry, the explorators built over the mining base, and turned it into a liveable city. In time, due to a lack of supplies and general lack of wealth, the city, and the descendants of the explorators, built an economy entirely centred around gambling. Luck, and intelligence, played a large part in the people's status in New Terra, and as the city grew, gambling became a planetary expression of identity. Soon, as the city spread to encompass the entire western hemisphere, gambling became New Terra's main asset, being of interest to tourists and those who wish to make their fortune alike.

Luna Secundus, meanwhile, grew as an area of clean air, where the citizens who deigned to take on the running of the planet established their political base. It eventually became an area where those who could afford to not live in the chemical smog lived, and then it was just considered the rich part of town. Now, it has been risen off the ground so as to preserve the aura of cleanliness about it, which is ironic, because the citizenry of Luna Secundus are mostly corrupted, either in soul or in morals.

Vaslegas went through a rebirth recently, whereupon, after a sweep of Slaaneshi corruption through the lower city of New Terra, spreading upwards to eventually covertly corrupt the entire planet, turning all into a Slaaneshi planet, their debauchery hidden in the mists of the chemical fog. It was here that a conclave among cult was had, and a decision made. The ultimate debauchery, to Cuck Slaanesh itself. The cultists then staged a mock revolution, in full view of the Imperium, sacrificing thousands of lesser members of society, those who refused to go along with the plan, and those who had not responded to the siren call of Slaanesh. The Imperium eventually responded, sending the Sisters of Battle alongside a cohort of the Ecclesiarchy's Frateris Militia, to help cleanse the "Corruption" from the planet. After the war was over in record time, the Ecclesiarchy declared the planet pure once more, and, commending the Vaslegans for their bravery in facing this dire spiritual threat and chastising them for allowing it in the first place, recommended them to have a Guard regiment made, to both atone for their crimes and serve the Emperor directly.

Thus, the New Terran Rangers were born, and the cultists plan was put into action.
