Overview
Kalydus Prime had been an Emperian colony thousands of years before the founding of the Emperian Empire. The first colonists, through archeological and existing records, are estimated to have settled the planet in -43,110IC and most likely originated from Imperia itself. The colonists primarily residing on the Eastern Hemisphere around the vast inland Sea hemmed in by snow capped peaks and forests. It appears the colonists prospered well into the Age of Darkness that began circa.-15,000IC. The planet forming the center of a small interstellar empire consisting of surrounding star systems lasted until circa.-9,000IC when internal strife erupted across the planet. Leading to the disintegration and devastating of surrounding star systems; eventually, Kalydus itself was struck by orbital bombardment for weeks. Destroying many of the old settlements and crippling the planets infrastructure back to Neolithic levels.

After the catastrophe that befell Kalydus Prime the population was reduced to a few hundred thousand scattered about the planet. The orbital bombardment causing radiation zones to crop up around the planet and the survivors fought for scraps of whatever resources that could be used. It was estimated to take four thousand years before the situation on the planet had stabilized and new petty realms to rise and populate the planet.

By the time Empire arrived in 29IC the planets population had risen to a stable one million and wielding renaissance level technology. The planets leaders peacefully assimilated into the Empire, with the Ist Legion or Nova Dragons given the world for their expedient pacification. Since then the planet has been the primary base of operations for the Nova Dragons Legion, with Legion shipyards located in orbit above the terrestrial moon Kalysis. The Kalydus system was the first ever given to a Legion, and the prime recruiting ground for the Nova Dragons whom operate from the Krystal Fortress.
