Dedriton

Dedriton is a forgeworld located in the Sephadollion Sector. Considered to be the most influential and prominent forgeworld in the sector, Dedriton boosts many unique STC's, but its leaders guard its secrets, and are paranoid to the extreme. Originally the planet was inhabited by a race of machines known as Rhetonians, but where eventually wiped out by the Imperium. Despite this there are rumours that the tech priests harbour secret technology, possibly not of human origin. Than again, rumours are but rumours.....

History
The history of Dedriton is murky and largely unrecorded, but what is known that at some point the Rhetonians ruled over Dedriton. The Rhetonians were a race of automated machines, with vast arcane technical knowledge. The Rhetonians origins are disputed-some say they are the product of a bygone era, left to rot on a desolate world. Others theorise that they were created for labour, but rebelled against their masters. What was known was that they had created huge monolithic structures, and developed weapons in able to keep other species away.

It was in 786.M34 that the Adeptus Mechanicus declared war on Dedriton. They stated that the Rhetonians were an affront to the Omnissiah and must be purged. Imperial forces started to attack the planet with Mechanicus forces at the forefront. It was in 832.M34 when seamanly the final Rhetonian was reduced to scrap metal. The Mechanicus had the structures of the Rhetonians torn down, building their manufactorums in place.



Society
The Linchpin of the Mechanicuses presence in the sector, possessing not only the most STC's in the sector but even having its own designs. This has lead it to be also a planet of secrets, even amongst the Mechanicus. Its Magos often keep their own council, and jealously guard their secrets, even from their red-robed brethren.
