Editing Oestala Prime System (section)

=== Oestala V ===
Civilized World

The furthest planet from the system's sun, much of Oestala V is covered in tundra-like terrain with rather large polar ice caps. Furthermore, much of the planet's surface is dotted with old open-cut mines, some of which have been turned into lakes due to the seasonal rainfall.

The '''Month of Fire''' which saw both Oestala III and IV destroyed in a raging inferno of nuclear energy had a profound impact on the fortunes of Oestala V due to the fact that before the nuclear missiles arrived at their respective destinations, parts of the old aristocracy from Oestala IV managed to flee their dying world and make it to Oestala V. Shanty palaces were built so that the old sector aristocracy could relive the 'good ol' days' and throw elaborate parties. However, this only lasted several generations before the aristocracy were strung up by oppressed miners and factory workers. Whatever ambitions for a better life the commoners of Oestala V had, they've been buried under an Ork invasion. Now most live day to day, fighting what seems to be a never ending war against the Orkish tide. Every year the human survivors lose another habbloc, or manufactorum - weakening their ability to fight back bit by bit.

Making the situation worse is the fact that word of the fighting on Oestala V, which has lasted for decades, has begun to reach smaller ork warbands in neighboring systems. Many warbands are moving towards the planet in hopes of joining in on the fight, creating the possibility for a WAARGH which could sweep across the entire Sector.
