Science for the Science God!
Only War: The Ondergang Crusade
Ondergang, Geheimenag System, Segmentum Pacificus
Classification: Death World (Former designate Forge World - changed following the Nightfall Incident* of 823.M38)
Geheimenag System is a trinary system consisting of a blue dwarf and two red stars. One of the red stars and the blue dwarf forming a physical binary with the third star a distant red eye glaring down upon the system. The three stars collectively prevent night from falling across Ondergang and it's sister bodies. Once every seven years the blue dwarf will eclipse the red star to create the appearance of a great eye staring from the heavens. Until the Nightfall Incident Ondergang's moon sheltered it providing night for a single day every Imperial week. After the Nightfall Incident night no longer falls on Ondergang.
The surface of the world is a ruined cyclopean maze of rusting, battered industrial complexes and destructive volcanic glass spewing windstorms beneath a violet sky. Abyssal quarries cut into the rock till lava wells up from the wounds - the machinery meant to harvest the power released either destroyed, forgotten, or malfunctioning. The great factories house cities of survivors armed with the misused tools of the world's past. Techno-barbarian clans war for control of the secrets buried in the rotting corpses of the great workshop-fortresses.
In 943.M41 the Imperial Guard sat it's sights upon Ondergang and descended to bring the warring clans back to the Imperium. Early reports from the Guard indicated significant archeotech presence in full or damaged form. Due to the nature of the planet's history and considering the factor of Imperial Guard lack of expertise in such matters a unit was formed to investigate the truth of these reports and recover them for Forge World Galleus.
Initial Mission: Install Staging and Recovery Area
Primary Mission: Recover Archeotech for Forge World Galleus

OK so about the game, it will be using the Only War rule set and the player regiment will be pure Adeptus Mechanicus. Thanks to the two supplements there are a ton of Tech-Priest class options now. Also we will be modifying a number of the base classes to allow them as members of the Tech Guard.
The game will not be purely combat, there will be exploration, investigation, obviously combat, and some politics.
