	Of the many figures that were to shape the Imperium, few are as widely known and yet misunderstood as Fabricator General Kalkas Brord Tygian. He was speaker of the Martian Parliament, Lord of Olympus Mons, Primus of the Machine Cult and disciple of the Omnissiah. To those outside the Mechanicum, he is a hero, a steadfast supporter of the Emperor who held the Mechanicum to oaths sworn. To those more knowledgeable and those within the Mechanicum, Tygian is a far more divisive figure. Some see him as a zealot who tried to force all within the Mechanicum to believe his own limited vision of the tenets of the Machine Cult. Others see his desire to force all the many daughter-forges of Mars to bend the knee as the mark of a tyrant, determined to destroy any who dared stand up against him.

	Mars was united on the surface, but laid divisive underneath a veneer of absolute loyalty to Fabricator-General and Emperor. The mechanisms in place to dethrone Kalkas were stalled utterly. To reproach him would challenge the might of the Emperor, who grew more powerful with every passing day. Worse than this, the Emperor appeared to be the Omnissiah made genuine. Though whispered in circles as usurper, no one could openly accuse him. Discontent was left to ferment underneath the surface of Mars without an avenue to vent.

Knowing their crime was without a doubt, Kalkas sanctioned lengthy interrogations against these individuals to coerce confessions from them. As they gave in, Tygian decided to add another act of penance upon them. They must surrender any individuals who have committed injustices against the creed of the Cult.

	Techno-expurgation was a unique punishment under Kalkian canon law. The Adept would be stripped of every augment they possessed, replaced with vat-grown organs sufficient to keep them alive, and cast out of Mars. Kalkas justified the punishment by explaining it showed the true heart of the individual. Not one for the Omnissiah, thus their crimes to the cause would be removed by removing them from his sight. Without their augments, their flesh would fail them in short order. Living testaments to the tenats of the Mechancium.		Kalkas collapsed after seventy-four hours of action, allowing the members in the Chamber of Repentance to continue the work. The Magi of Mars saw this as a cleansing of sorts, expected to come after communion with their literal lord. More doubtful members of the Priesthood kept their mouths silent, but used the upheaval to bring opposition to the Chamber to remove them. Many willingly came to seek repentance, having a religious reawakening and an honest desire to atone. A plethora of punishments developed for any number of crimes.

			Some like the ''Cybellatici'' - those who had taken augments without proper reverence for them - faced extreme penance. Techno-expurgation was a unique punishment under Kalkian canon law.

Her daughter [[Modra Tygian]] being assigned to his personal staff, to learn more directly under him than he did from Leton. '''Arch-Magos Alycon Markus''', the grandfather of the later Fabricator-General Halycen Markus, was given command over ten Titan Legions. '''Amark Callus''', who had stopped the Rebellion of the crew aboard the Ordinatus Mars, gained authority over the ancient vessel.

			Mars was pacified, the filth washed away - according to Kalkas. Instead those foolish enough to have their heretical activities known or marked by fate had been claimed in zealous wrath. All others astute to understand the situation and cautious of their views remained in their positions. Kalkas had only strengthened those he wished to remove utterly, a lesson he would keenly learn in the years to come. For now all of Mars focused on a singular goal; sovereignty over its many distant Forgeworlds.

	'''Kalkas Tygian''' was born ~~to Grego Tygian~~, ~~brother to the~~ Fabricator-General '''Leton Tygian''', ~~and~~ was ~~raised on Mars until ascending~~ to ~~be Magos of Deimos's foundries at twenty five years of age~~. ~~He oversaw~~ the production of war material ~~in preparation for with Terra, as~~ the ~~Emperor's Imperium continued to have unprecedented victories. Despite his~~ age, Kalkas endeavored himself to prove his ~~position~~. ~~Upon Deimos with his supervision, production saw an all time high it has never again reached. The~~ Adepts under ~~his command were worked hard~~, ~~but fairly~~. ~~All agreed his work upon Mars~~'s ~~moon~~ was ~~a welcomed addition to the Mechanicum. Though Kalkas~~'s ~~attentions lied on production, Fabricator-General Leton would instruct him~~ on the ~~systems that kept~~ Mars ~~together~~. ~~Treaties~~, ~~covert deals, all manner of political maneuvering was made clear to~~ the ~~younger Tygian. He grew weary~~ of ~~it all, wishing only~~ to ~~serve~~ the ~~Omnissiah dutifully~~. ~~Leton would remind~~ him ~~that keeping a stable succession~~ was ~~acting on~~ the Omnissiah's ~~behalf~~.		'''Kalkas Tygian''' was born under the rule of his uncle, Fabricator General '''Leton Tygian'''. Kalkas showed his talents as techno-savant from an early age, being tutored under his relative for an unknown period of time. This continued until supervision over the forges upon Deimos was given to Kalkas. Overseeing the production of war material at the age of twenty-one, Kalkas endeavored himself to prove his worth. Working himself and the Adepts under him to their limits, efficiency peaked shortly on Deimos. Kalkas's devotion to manufacture was deeply religious, making him ignore his uncle's requests for further education on the political nature of Mars. In the last correspondence, Leton stressed the importance of a stable succession from one generation to the next. To him, it was crucial to seeing the Omnissiah's will.

	~~This~~ lesson ~~became clear in the coming years~~.		The lesson would come too late for Kalkas, when Leton died shortly thereafter.

	~~Upon~~ Leton's demise ~~some years before~~ the ~~Emperor~~'s ~~arrival~~ to ~~Mars~~, ~~Kalkas ascended to the station of Primus over Olympus Mons~~. The Martian Parliament voted him Fabricator-General. His ~~reach stretched out across the Red Planet akin~~ to ~~a streak of lightning~~, ~~overtaking the unsuspecting~~ with his ~~movements~~. ~~Though the youngest ever to assume his position~~, ~~Kalkas would not allow the efforts of is uncle~~ to ~~be made in vain~~. ~~The Forges would agree~~ to his ~~direct rule~~, ~~or would bend forcefully. His sister '''Areta Tygian''' replaced his position over Deimos. Her daughter~~ [[~~Modra Tygian~~]] ~~being assigned to his personal staff, to learn more directly under him than he did from Leton~~.		After Leton's demise Mars descended into upheaval. The Fabricator-General was so beloved, few had considered his untimely departure from the Omnissiah's creation. Valran Burija, long time rival to Leton, moved swiftly. The Martian Parliament voted him in as Fabricator-General. His initial aim was to secure political power for himself, by lining positions in with his supporters. The issue of war with Terra weighed heavy on everyone's minds, but Valran was slow to move. After assembling a punitive force ten years after ascending to his post, Valran lead an [[Mars (Hektor Heresy)\|attack on Sol-III]]. His abject failure and death sent a shockwave through Mars.

	~~Those who spoke out openly against him were given multiple chances to surrender. A few believed~~ the ~~pious youth softhearted, but would be reminded by~~ the ~~company~~ he ~~kept. [[Motoka Isidore]] became an early ally~~, and ~~[[Zorr Yenser]]~~ was ~~not far behind him~~. ~~Innumerable Titan Legions and swathes of well armed Skitarii marched behind such names~~ as ~~'''Amark Callus'''~~ the ~~Lord~~ of ~~Ordinatus~~ Mars. ~~Pleas for clemency flowed forth across all channels upon the banners of Olympus Mons being seen worn on the backs of Zorr~~'s ~~chosen warriors. Tygian was uninterested in bloodshed, only submission~~, and ~~accepted these wayward souls into~~ the ~~fold~~.		The defense of Mars became the sole issue surrounding the next election. The Parliament had at first discounted Kalkas because of his age. Now he was a decade older, and the memory of Leton's rule was fresh in the minds of the delegates. Kalkas Tygian saw this as the moment his uncle had told him of, and accepted. Work immediately began to strengthen Mars against invasion. But it was an attempt to project strength than a serious effort to achieve lasting victory. The Emperor's force of arms would leave Mars smashed, and weak to further attacks from beyond the Sol System.

	~~The Foundry of Hebes Chasma would be~~ the ~~exception~~, ~~as the Magi~~ were ~~seeped in tech-heresy making full integration impossible~~. ~~Zorr Yenser would deploy~~ to ~~lead~~ the ~~assault, along with '''Magos Alycen Markus''', grandfather to future~~ Fabricator-General ~~Halycen Markus~~. ~~Though the defenders of Liberty City~~ would ~~repent as the war engines brought down their spires~~, ~~there~~ was ~~no pause in~~ the ~~assault. The speed at which his fires claimed their lives sent a clear message to~~ the ~~Machine Cult - Kalkas Tygian was benevolent~~ to ~~the faithful but held no mercy~~ in his ~~heart for~~ the ~~heretical~~.		Tygian was elected for a particularly deplorable reason. Mars did not want war, it wanted to explore the stars and reunite with its expeditions. As a result, amenable terms were on everyone's mind. No one wanted to be the Fabricator-General who signed peace with a foreign invader. It would be Kalkas's legacy to accept such a fate, and he knew this yet still volunteered. It was the will of the Omnissiah to him, unquestionable and required. Instead of being kept in ignoble infamy, his name would echo across the Milky Way.

Many were deemed ''latae sententiae'', given a choice of two punishments only. Servitorization and redemption in the eyes of the Omnissiah in that measure, or face techno-expurgation.

	Techno-expurgation was a unique punishment under Kalkian canon law. The Adept would be stripped of every augment they possessed, replaced with vat-grown organs sufficient to keep them alive, and cast out of Mars. Kalkas justified the punishment by explaining it showed the true heart of the individual. Not one for the Omnissiah, thus their crimes to the cause would be removed by removing them from his sight. Without their augments, their flesh would fail them in short order. Living testaments to the ~~tenants~~ of the Mechancium.		Techno-expurgation was a unique punishment under Kalkian canon law.

	Those who spoke out openly against him were given multiple chances to surrender. A few believed the pious youth softhearted, but would be reminded by the company he kept. [[Motoka Isidore]] became an early ally, and [[Zorr Yenser]] was not far behind him. Innumerable Titan Legions and swathes of well armed Skitarii marched behind such names as '''Amark Callus''' the Lord of Ordinatus Mars. Pleas for clemency flowed forth across all channels upon the banners of Olympus Mons being seen worn on the backs of Zorr's chosen warriors. Tygian was uninterested in bloodshed, only submission, and accepted these wayward souls into the fold.		Those who spoke out openly against him were given multiple chances to surrender.

	The Foundry of Hebes Chasma would be the exception, as the Magi were seeped in tech-heresy making full integration impossible. Zorr Yenser would deploy to lead the assault, along with '''Magos Alycen Markus''', grandfather to future Fabricator-General Halycen Markus. Though the defenders of Liberty City would repent as the war engines brought down their spires, there was pause in the assault. The speed at which his fires claimed their lives sent a clear message to the Machine Cult - Kalkas Tygian was benevolent to the faithful but held no mercy in his heart for the heretical.
