Planetary History

By the end of the Reunification War, Castor was a world within the Tyrfing Province of the Terran Hegemony.

The Jihad

On the 23rd of September 3075 Castor was one of three worlds in the Protectorate to be raided simultaneously by unidentified forces. The raiders damaged the defending Protectorate and Militia forces, and were rumoured to actually be drawn from the Word of Blake's own Shadow Divisions.
