Once a peaceful agricultural planet run by enterprising families of settlers, Nekkyar has been turned into a battlefield hellscape. Sometime in the past twenty years since the last voidships came through the Avernus subsector, the planet was invaded by the forces of chaos including a contingent of Noise Marines. The defenses of Nekkyar have been reduced to rubble. Several rotting space hulks circle the planet, a testament to the bloodletting and destruction wrought on this once-verdant backwater of a world. A warp storm threatens the star of the system, occasionally spewing out more forces of chaos. A few well-coded transmissions inform the crew of the Diamond in the Rough that there remains several vaults of human life and valuable resources still struggling against the maw of chaos that already commands the planetary surface battlespace. These humans continue to fight a guerrilla war against chaos from the extensive network of natural underground tunnels throughout the planet’s crust. In recent days, a surprise discovery reveals that there are a handful of Alderi webway gates hidden within the larger caverns underground that lead to an unknown craftworld.
Forces of this legion have managed to capture much of the agricultural world of Nekkyar. They continue to fight to destroy guerrilla forces of Imperial Guardsmen on the planet and push back against an expression of orks that have grown from the wastelands. The existence of underground webway gates demonstrates that the Alderi also have had a stake in this planet's history as well.
