Apello

The pl anet of Apello is an Imperial Colony located on the fringes of the Imperium's control. Rich in valuable ores and minerals it was setup as a mining colony by the Imperium, the planets role in producing vast quantities of ore and thus supporting the Imperial war machine grew as more and more banes of ore were discovered across the planets surface.

History
The planet itself was prior to its colonization covered in vast swaths of dense forest filled with vast numbers of wildlife. However the planet itself is any miners dream, easily moveable soil, with vast quantities of valuable resources buried underneath the soil. It was first colonized by a group of prisoners that the Imperium had been cast out from their home worlds. They arrived on the planet and setup a meager town they named Anderson Bay after the head of their expedition named Tyco Anderson. Tyco led his people in scouting out the planet and finding nothing of significant threat to themsleves or their new colony they soon settled into their new home. The prisoners soon became quite acquainted with the land they inhabited, hunting and trapping the wildlife for food, chopping down the forest for fields and even paying for their families to be shipped in from their distant hme worlds. Yet when on a hunting trip a farmer noticed a rather unusual looking rock lying on the ground he brought it back to his home after killing himself some dinner. Back at his home he deemed the rock to be worth money and tried to sell the rock at the local trading post. The store owner asked where he had discovered the rock and soon they had discovered a bane of valuabel ore. Soon word had spread all the way back to the Imperium home worlds of the find on some back water prison colony and soon the Imperium had men sent out to Apello to look into the ore that was discovered, when they returned claiming the planet was rich in the ore the planet suddenly became a hotpot of activity, massive mining equipment was to the planet along with plenty of workers. The once quiet planet soon had vast mining operations spread across its surface. Soon the Imperium were harvesting enough ore to rival that of some Forge Planets. The Apello government was setup to help regulate the minig operations and the shipments leaving the planet. The Imperial Guard also formed a regiment from the planets population. Sons and daughters of former prisoners were no serving them very people who threw their parents in jail. These volunteers were formed into the 1st Apelloian Infantry Regiment and promptly deployed to hotspots of combat across the Imperium. Another regiment was formed by the Imperium, on the planet but was never fully trained before the Battle of Apello.
