DESCRIPTION
An Only War Regiment.TRANSCRIPT
Tretich 5 The Caves of Molten steel, Fringeborn Hell, CX-607
“Yeah we lost men, we always lose men. How we survive? Well we don’t do we, they import new men.”
–Mine-‐veteran Tandy
Tretich 5 is a mining colony mere hours of warptravel from Footfall. The colony was created by the Scourge dynasty and sold to the Disciples of Thule. The mine is a very rich one able to provide steel, silver and even adamantium to the Lathe worlds. It is however as dangerous as it is rich, it orbits very close to it’s star causing the mines to be less cavern systems and more hellish nightmares of flowing metal. The casualty rates are extreme and few miners survive a whole week of service, the gains are however high enough to keep more recruits coming.
As Tretich 5 is an official world it was decided that it must pay tithes just as any other, people who survive a full month are thus rewarded with a retirement to the Imperial Guard, something that seems most appealing after a few days of work.
