Goryeo Sector

The Goryeo Sector sit on the western edge of Segmentum Ultima near the borders of Segmentum Solar. The sector of stars and planets is home to colonizers with some hint of North Korean-nese during the Golden Age of Mankind. The sector is home to a secretive and closely monitored imperial society. It’s all worth it for the Goryeon people to live in the best of all planets in the best of all times and the rest of the Imperium.

The Dark Ages
When the warp storms was unleashed on the galaxy, warp travel was halted and communication and trade with other systems came to an abrupt stop as well. The Goryeo Sector suffered massive instability due to the over reliance on trade with other human colonized systems. Most fortunately, the Goryeo Sector never had any Men of Iron conflicts and much Golden Age technology survived. However, due to the warp storms, those precious technology was lost when the masses of Goryeons descended into despair and then was ushered into the most calamitous civil war before the Horus Heresy.

After countless wars, the planets within Goryeo Sector was much like Ancient Terra before the coming of the Emperor of Mankind. They were all isolated and will continue to be so until the coming of the Great Crusade.

The Great Crusade
When the Emperor of Mankind revealed himself and unified Terra then launched the Great Crusade, the Goryeo Sector was “visited” by the 12th Expeditionary Fleet of the Legiones Ultramarines. The first planet to be visited by the Crusade Fleet was Pyonyang. At that time, Pyonyang was ruled by warring techno tribes and saw the visitors as nothing but contenders of the last remaining standing “hive” city on Pyonyang. Though the Imperialis Auxilla was no match for the techno hordes of Pyonyang due to the fact the techno tribes possessed proto-power armour, all but one techno tribe was annihilated by the Legiones Ultramarines. The surviving techno tribe was the weakest among the other techno tribes on Pyonyang and survived by hiding and scavenging in the great shadow of the last Hive city. They profusely prostrated themselves before the Legiones Ultramarines and graciously surrendered all their hoarded technology of which included a complete half functional STC. This techno tribe was led by a techno barbarian by the name KIM JONG-ILA. It was this very techno barbarian that the God-Emperor of Mankind lifted and chosen to be Pyongyang first planetary governor. The tribe assimilated into imperial culture quickly and readily and became Pyongyang first Imperial Civilians.

Soon, all the other planets were to be conquered in the one way or another. And from the different planets of the Sector, were four other tribes that swore eternal loyalty to the Imperium and the God-Emperor. These four other tribes were to then become the remaining four main families of the Goryeo Sector. As with all other sectors visited by the Legiones Ultramarines, the Goryeo sector was lifted to the standards of the very core of Legiones Ultramarines standard of Imperial sector. Thus the Goryeo Sector enjoyed a brief period of unity and sense of purpose before committing itself to the Great Crusade by providing the regiments of Imperialis Auxilla and the resources and materials.

Horus Heresy
When the Horus Heresy began, the Goryeo Sector stayed loyal to the God-Emperor and the Imperium. The sector was ravaged by the Word Bearers Traitor Legion and the remaining guard regiment of the sector fought inch by inch, blood by blood and tooth and nail to hold onto the very vestige and loyalty to the Imperium. Ultimately, the loyalist lost as they were no match for 8 foot tall Astartes plus the ravening chaos hordes. The Sector was then placed under control of those who willingly accepted Chaos Worships. The remnants of the five main families went into hiding and fought back guerilla style until the God-Emperor vanquished Horus at the climactic battle of Terra.

The subsequent Great Scouring saw the Chaos rulers of the Goryeo Sector hunted down and the five main families rewarded for staying loyal to the Imperium.

Politics
Elections in the Goryeo Sector are held every five years for the Goryeo Senate, the system’s interplanetary government. The Goryeo Senate Election is nothing but a sham, as the System is in reality ruled by the 5 Main Families and their branch families which in turn swear eternal loyalty to the Imperium and the God-Emperor of Mankind. The Goryeo Senate is in place to discuss the regular Imperial Tithes and Imperial Guard’s Quota for the Sector as well as discussing and settling the regular dispute within the Five main families and their respective Branch Families.

The Sector Governor is elected by the Five Main Families and take on the ancient honorific title “KIM” in-reference to the first Sector Governor chosen by the Emperor of Mankind himself. The current System Governor is KIM Jang-Su of the Su Family. Just for the sake of maintaining peace, and agreement between the five main families stating the Sector Governor position is on a rotation basis and each term is for 10 years.
