The Remnant is a strange collection of seven planets, orbiting farther above the galactic plane than the other Atalantos Worlds. From this elevated vantage point the spiral of the Galaxy is readily visible, as well as a good angle on the Galactic Core above the clouds of interstellar dust. The Remnant worlds are ancient beyond the knowledge of the Imperium to discern, dating back to the Dark Age of humanity. Cut off from the rest of civilization for millennia, the human inhabitants devolved into complete savagery and barbarism, crawling through the colossal relics of their ancestors with no more comprehension of their potential than a grox has of the inner workings of a Plasma Drive. Indeed, when the Scribes first set foot in this system the humans they encountered had little more brainpower than the average Snotling. 

When the Scribes came upon these planets they immediately set to work reclaiming them for the Imperium. After 150 years of brutal culling, genetic manipulation, bionic enhancement and relentless training, the people of the Remnant worlds regained just enough of their original humanity to be worth more than conversion to Servitors. While not truly "human" they are more than animals, too dull to think of rebellion yet smart enough to follow commands and operate crude tools. The Scribes lament that the regression of the Remnant Worlds' former inhabitants destroyed almost all relics of value, but nevertheless appreciate the bounty of seven closely linked hive worlds from which to draw an endless stream of indentured labor for the Atalantos mining worlds.  

At the Emperor's request the Scribes also constructed a mighty observatory orbiting above the largest Remnant world, using its powerful optics to look deep into the galaxy and help guide the Great Crusade by spotting threats in its path through the Ultima Segmentum. Now that the Crusade has passed into myth and legend, these telescopes are used to examine the Galactic Core, seeking new worlds within its furious heat into space where the Imperium may harvest them.
