Editing The Narakan Corps (section)

==History==
The Narakans are defined by their homeworld home of Naraka, a brutal deathworld hiding under the decaying façade of a hiveworld, and their subjugation by the Emperor himself. Naraka was once a glittering global metropolis, the hub of both science and industry for the small interstellar empire it was a part of but an unknown accident or attack left the world completely inhospitable. The worlds of the empire desperately sent hundreds of thousands of convicted criminals to the world in attempts to repair the damage, lest they slowly fade away without the world's capabilities. Those criminals would later welcome their persecutors as refugees when the empire began to crumble away. Generations would pass and the hive-ganger culture they inherited from their forebearers would never fade among the Narakan peoples.

When the Imperial Army finally arrived upon Naraka the elements deployed there were met with staunch resistance. Though bogged down in the twisted, crumbling ruins of hive cities and beset on all sides by mutant creatures, rogue automata, and the toxic environment no threat proved harder to overcome than the Narakan peoples themselves. They proved so difficult to subjugate that the Emperor himself landed with a contingent of Space Marines. After just 3 engagements the Narakans surrendered. They quickly grew to be among the most fervent believers in the Emperor's cause, having seen the Emperor firsthand and believing that the Emperor would require their "expert services" in his Crusade. They would carry the Emperor's short campaign on their world as a mark of pride for the rest of their history, a true testament to their mettle.

Of course, unknown to the Narakans themselves, the Emperor had never come to conquer the planet personally due to the exceptional nature of it's people. He had come because the scattered reports his generals had received from the planetary landing force's initial campaign were highly similar to Chaos corrupted planets. He had arrived expecting to have to violently purge the planet to avoid an outbreak of knowledge concerning Chaos but supposedly left disappointed upon the enormous waste of his time conquering what proved to be little more than an exceptionally dangerous Death World.
