(Created by Adam Isherwood aka saviourzeroone)

Planet Status: 7th “Planet” – World was destroyed by Imperial decree during Great Crusade

Gravity: .92G

Satellites: None

Population: None

Rotation Speed: Various between from one “rock” to another

Climate Classification: None – Artificial World

Total Land Mass: None

Planetary Governor: Ancestor Lord Thorin Graah – deceased

Climate: None

Climatic Regions: Tom-Gar-Bar is divided into two principle regions:

Star Tunnels, miles wide and thousands of miles long – these giant freeways link the shattered planet together like a man made spider web.

Rock Halls: The shattered remnants of the former planet – now terra formed and turned into artificial “mini worlds” – each range from country to continent sized and are linked together via the Star Tunnels.

Urbanisations: The existing world is a large artificial construct. Star tunnels can be classified as a type of wilderness with the larger rock halls where the now abandoned settlements lay dormant.

Terra Forming: The Star Tunnels and Rock Halls are perfectly created to support Terran life. It is the pinnacle of squat technology.

Principle Exports: None – the smelting and mining facilities have long been silenced.

Water Supply: This was, during occupation was imported from Miranda IV and Deyron.

Food Supply: Again Imported from Miranda IV and Deyron

Society: Was typical of Squat “Stronghold” society but that disappeared long ago.

Known History of Tom-Gar-Bar: Tom-Gar-Bar was originally the Imperial world of Dasseius – a world of the Ecclesiarchy. Its habitants were some of the most fanatical followers of the Emperor, or so it seemed. However it was just before the outbreak of the Heresy that the world revolted against the Imperium, it declared that the Emperor was no more a puppet of the almighty Tzeentch and why should they worship the puppet when they could worship the puppeteer?

Needless to say their independence was short lived, the world of declared excommunicate hereticus. Resources were thin and the Imperial Forces of Dremora and Jagon Prime didn’t want to be tied down in a drawn out insurgency campaign. One course of action was decided – Exterminatus!

That planet was destroyed in every sense, only shattered rock stuck in the former planet’s gravity well remained – the unclean was thoroughly purged. This however wasn’t the end for the world.

Squat settlers saw an opportunity to colonise the remnants of Dasseius, the Imperium had no use for the shattered world and gave it without thought to the Squats. Within a few hundred years the Squats began turning the debris into stronghold colonies and finally linking them with the gargantuan Star Tunnels, a technological feat for the Squats. Within 300 years Dasseius became the Squat mega colony of Tom-Gar-Bar.

Tom-Gar-Bar held 500 years of prosperity and peace. It mined valuable metals that were trading eagerly with the Imperial Worlds of the Lost System. But then all of a sudden a silence took hold of the colony. Imperial strike teams were sent to investigate – the colony was a asset to the Imperium as well as the Squats themselves where considered allies.

The teams could find nothing but corpses – all 7 billion Squats lay dead. To this day the halls and tunnels of Tom-Gar-Bar remain silent – The Imperium has tried to reactivate the mines and bring the colony back into operation for Imperial use, all attempts have failed, Also bandits and rogue traders have tried to plunder ancient riches – none ever left the colony. The world has also caught the attention of Chaos forces who believe an artefact of mass importance is hidden within the dead world – maybe the ancient survivor of Dasseius? Maybe the cause of the squat massacre?
