In the Imperial galaxy, many stars have planets orbiting them. Imperial cartographers spend their entire lives compiling information on which are habitable, which have valuable resources, which are forbidden zones and which have dangers to be destroyed or avoided. The random whims of fate generally preclude any one system from having an overwhelming abundance of any given class of planet, save for barren and useless rocks which are as common as human lives are expendable. And yet, if one were to metaphorically roll the dice enough times, extremes do emerge on occasion. The wildly fertile Chudovan system and its eighteen planets are just such a place. 

Chudova Primus and Secundus are a binary pair of stars, separated by a little over one-fifth of a light year. Practically in contact with each other by cosmic standards. Chudova Primus plays host to ten major planets, Secundus to eight. Primus calls four of its little companions habitable by human life, and though poorer in total numbers Secundus proudly can claim five temperate worlds. 

The history of such a cluster of human worlds is complex enough to drive Imperial scholars to madness and despair, and would require far more documentation than this dataslate will here permit to fully describe. Before the Heresy the Chudova binary system grew rapidly and well, boasting more than a hundred billion inhabitants all told and displaying every aspect of Imperial life. The Chudovan planets tend to be a mixed bag, not given to specializing their worlds to any one task. They fear being taken advantage of by their neighbors, either economically or militarily, and as such endeavor to be as self-sufficient as possible. Forges, shipyards, agriculture and hive cities can all be found across the system. During the Heresy some cleaved to the Emperor and others to Hektor, but none of the planets could gain enough of a leg up on the others to strike without critically exposing themselves from another angle. 

Strangely then, Chudova was quiet during the Heresy. When it became clear that Hektor was failing in his quest and the Emperor would emerge victorious, the "traitorous" planets quietly abandoned their revolt and did their best to pretend they had never dared take up arms against the Imperium. Some portion of their citizenry fled or was exiled, and things returned to some semblance of normalcy faster than anyone would have predicted. Not wishing to get caught in the crossfire, the Loyalist Chudovans assisted in sweeping the past under the rug, in exchange for modest economical compensation. 

To this day, only a tiny handful of high ranking Chudovans have the slightest clue that their brethren's ancestors turned traitor, and that is exactly how the nobility wants it. As far as the Imperium is concerned, planets Chudova I through IX have always been and always will be the picture of loyalty. They meet their tithes, send out their Guard regiments, and keep their heads well down and eyes on the ground. Still, rumor has it that the Inqusition maintains a hidden base on one or more of the uninhabited Chudovan planets, ever watchful for ancient treacheries to rise up again in these darkening times.
