Hopes Fall

Hopes Fall is an agrarian Knight World, lying in some relatively unoccupied chunk of space within the Eastern Fringe. At some long forgotten point in history an ancient Rouge Trader ship, simply named the Hope was trapped in a warp storm in an unexplored section of space. When it was finally released from the maelstrom it had sustained heavy damage and was forced to crash land on a previously undiscovered world. Over the next several millennia the thousands of people who had survived the crash landing onto the planet managed to build a flourishing society on what turned out to be a verdant and bountiful agri-world.

History

When the Hope first crashed onto the planet, the survivors found themselves on a promising looking world, with vast green fields ripe for turning into farm land and pastures, and many valuable minerals and ores running deep into the ground. However they were not alone on their new home.

Long before Imperium of man was made whole, the planet that was to become Hope's Fall was occupied by human colonists, who, over many thousands of years, had devolved into degenerate, feral savages, living in the planets dark forests and worshiping chaotic gods.

The Hope was under the ownership of a Rouge Trader dynasty by the name of Carthagga, who were devout believers of the Imperial Creed, and had close ties to both the Ecclesiarchy, and the Ordo Hereticus. Needless to say, when they set foot on a planet that would provide bountiful tithe to the Imperium and found it to be harboring savage heretics, the Carthaggan's were none to happy, and decided to remove them in the manner they felt most appropriate.
