+++PLANETARY DATAFAX+++
Treyen is an unremarkable feral world deep in the Orpheus salient. A largely temperate world, Treyen's scant population is centered primarily in the western hemisphere. The last Imperial census had the population at roughly 250,000 with an average technology level equivalent to that of the Bronze Age.
The system's primary star is entering into its last stages of life, and as such solar flares are beginning to spread a blanket of radiation around the planet. This stellar activity has a nasty habit of causing long-range vox transmissions to be unreliable and also causes void shield failures, but it also causes havoc for the Tyranids. For this reason Treyen was chosen to make a stand: this far, but no further.
The Battle of Treyen turned out to be both long and bloody but eventually ended in a resounding victory for the Imperium. It was the first major victory - and the last until Hethgard. What followed after Treyen was a period of silence, which the Crusade's leaders took for victory. It was not. Treyen had only been a single hive fleet. Many more came after.
Treyen is a pleasant enough place, with adequate resources. It could be colonized and civilized, and in a few decades provide the Sector with a steady stream of income.
