The Civilised World of Pyran has a stringent and divisive caste-based society, developed and refined over millennia after the initial Imperial colonisation of the planet in the 34th Millennium. At the very apex of this elitist world is the ruling Imperial Governor, chosen directly by the Adeptus Terra from one of the leaders of the Imperial Greater Noble Houses. The people of Pyran are intrinsically bound by their traditions in a way few off-worlders comprehend and the social and political standing of any one of the noble houses rests almost solely on the social graces of its members, as well as their military achievements within the Dragoons.

  • The Civilised World of Pyran has a stringent and divisive caste-based society, developed and refined over millennia after the initial Imperial colonisation of the planet in the 34th Millennium. At the very apex of this elitist world is the ruling Imperial Governor, chosen directly by the Adeptus Terra from one of the leaders of the Imperial Greater Noble Houses. The people of Pyran are intrinsically bound by their traditions in a way few off-worlders comprehend and the social and political standing of any one of the noble houses rests almost solely on the social graces of its members, as well as their military achievements within the Dragoons. Though Imperial histories often grow vague with the passage of time, the Pyran Dragoons have a keen affinity for their past deeds, particularly as they are the only regiment in the entire Armageddon Sub-sector that is recorded as having achieved a Right of Conquest. The long and distinguished history of the Pyran Dragoons is the main source of the immense pride that all the noble houses of Pyran, Greater and Lesser, deem essential to their very existence. Originally founded in the 34th Millennium as the Tyler Grenadiers to counter a sharp rise in Chaos raider activity that followed the Sinto Uprising in the Justicar Sub-sector, the regiment was transported to the recently colonised world of Pyran as the war swept past the Hive World of Armageddon. Though the Tyler regiment was battered and severely under strength due its to past engagements, the Grenadiers were successful in bringing the Chaos raiders to combat in an ambush outside the planet's only town. The devastating trap they laid for the raiders of hidden vehicles and ranked Guardsmen tore into the flanks of the raiders as they landed. Though the fighting caused many losses on both sides, the Grenadiers were able to break the back of the Chaos army, forcing them to withdraw from Imperial space entirely. The colonel of the Tyler Grenadiers declared a Right of Conquest on the last planet his regiment had fought upon and his Guardsmen settled on what became Pyran.
