| - The Savlar System, just over a hundred light years from Armageddon in the Segmentum Solar, is a desolate place, little valued by the Imperium save for the rich chemical deposits to be found on the volcanic moons of Savlar Penitens. Unsatisfied by poor mining quota returns, the Adeptus Terra re-graded Savlar as a Penal World in the 39th Millennium, shipping in criminals who had been captured during the recent Bokur Rebellion by the thousand, along with special detachments of the Adeptus Arbites to ensure productivity. Within three standard decades the chemical production of Savlar was supplying three Civilised Worlds and two Forge Worlds in the surrounding sub-sectors. The population of the moons was subsequently swelled by regular influxes of thieves, murderers and traitors from across the Armageddon Sector. The high mortality rate in the poisonous mines of Savlar became notorious among the criminal fraternity, leading to it being known as the "Dead Dog Moons" and phrases like "Dead as Savlar." The Chem-Dogs were initially formed into a fighting force by Judge Callistar, an Adeptus Arbites senior Judge and magistrate, in response to an armed uprising on Savlar itself. Savlar, once an inhospitable Mining World useful only for its rich chemical deposits, was converted into a penal settlement when it failed to meet Imperial tithes. Since that time, it has become a hellhole populated only by traitors, criminals and the Adeptus Arbites troops assigned to watch over them. However, during the third Armageddon campaign, Judge Callistar quickly found that such an assortment of desperate cut-throats could be forged into an effective fighting force with the addition of but a few simple directives to keep them in line.
