Septon

Septon is a far-flung Feudal World in the Ultima Segmentum, past Baal.

Culture and History
Technology on Septon is stuck firmly in the 16th century, with few exceptions.

The inhabitants of Septon are aware of the Imperium and are de facto citizens thereof. They follow a distinctly abrahamic version of the Imperial Cult, in which the Emperor is in fact the second coming of Jesus Christ. The planet was initially colonized by religious refugees from Terra early in Mankind's spacefaring history, refugees specifically seeking a long lost way of life. Records of the planets founding, however, are not kept by those on Septon, and the founding of the planet has been reduced to a mythological tale.

Septonites welcome the appearance of Imperial ships in the sky, viewing those upon them as harbingers of God's eternal mercy. The sons of Septon gladly embark upon the ships to fulfill the planet's tithe requirements.

Septon itself is divided among several Households, each of them headed by a powerful (for Septon) Lord or Lady. These houses commonly muster armies and fight in petty wars. Advanced Imperial Weaponry from off-world is extremely rare--Septonites typically use black powder weaponry and unpowered blade weapons in combat.

Geography and Climate
Septon is a cold Terra-like planet with harsh winters and comfortable summers.

There are three continents: Ioseph, Nazarene, and Zion. Ioseph is the largest.

ODP0619-Septon
The planet has an Orbital Defense Platform, ODP0619-Septon, that functions as the sole line of defense for the planet. It is garrisoned by a small unit of Imperial Guardsmen and also acts as the base of operation for the planetary administrator.
