+++PLANETARY DATAFAX+++
Xyan is a hostile world whose atmosphere is covered in sulfurous fumes from the bubbling hot springs scattered across its surface. There is frequent tectonic activity caused by the planet's hyper-active core. This world also contains large swamps full of animal life that has adapted to its intensely acidic environment. The air on this world is breathable, though it tastes foul.
Non-native require filter mask or their lungs will be scarred, and cannot eat local produce or drink unfiltered water. The locals have adapted to the highly sulphuric atmosphere and have a high tolerance to acid and heavy metals. Their vision has also adapted to the haze of their environment somewhat.
During the age of the Jericho Sector, this world became a penal planet. Millennia later, the planet's population were the descendants of these amoral humans that survived the brutal conditions of their world. When the Crusade arrived, they found a planet of recalcitrant people, who would have nothing to do with the Imperium. After several revolts and armed insurrections, the entire population was tried for treason - and convicted. They are all to serve a life sentence on Xyan or five years in a Penal Legion. Thus far none have opted for the service.
