Vilgalan

Vilgalan is a shrine world located in the Sephadollion Sector. A harsh, barren planet, Vigalan is touched by the power of the Warp, but also harbours the most fanatical zealots in the entire sector. Vilgalan thus acts as a ward against chaos in the system, despite the whispers of deceit forever at work trying to corrupt the citizens of Vilgalan.

Vilgalan was once a world completely dominated by the infernal powers of chaos, courtesy of their servants helped thin the boarder between the warp and the real world. It stayed in this state until the arrival of Saint Basirov, who led the crusade into the sector. Although Basirov died, the planet was cleansed of heretics, and Vigalan was transformed into a shrine world in honour of Basirov. Although the taint of chaos forever looms over Vilgalan, the combined efforts of the Ecclesiarchy, Inquisition and Imperial Navy forever are on the look out for signs of corruption, where it is dealt with swiftly.

Climate and Geography
A cold, barren world, Vilgalan has an average temperature of 10°C. The planet landscape is of rocky plateaus and outcrops, and barely supports any life, whether it be plant or animal. There are very little resources of note.

History
Due to the barren nature of the planet it was undisturbed by most human life, with the inhabitants living in tight knit communities, with little knowledge of technology and the greater Imperium. The planetary governor spent most of time on a space station, or travelling to pleasure worlds, paying little to know attention to her subjects.

Society
The people of Vilgalan are of a tough breed, with the constant vigilance against chaos, and blind faith in the Emperor. Often referred to as fanatical zealots, those with weaker minds who turn to chaos on Vilgalan are killed almost on the spot. Sometimes heretics escape to the moons and asteroid fields of the system, hiding out as pirates. Often the Imperial Navy scout for these men, and no mercy is given to them.
