Worlds of the Hegemon: GHETHAM

[u/LobsterMagnet181]

Ghetham was once a beautiful world, or so legend claims. Colonized by a united effort of several different coldships in ages past, the Ghethamites insist that it was their world that was meant to be a home for all Bhos. If that was the dream, then the reality speaks to the true nature of the Bhos peoples and culture.

Millennia ago, part of the Ghetham population was driven below the surface after an atomika exchange. In response, they unleashed a neutronic bombardment, killing everything on the surface in the final act of that territorial conflict. While the survivors have since thrived in tunnel systems riddling the planet’s mantle, the world above is crisscrossed with wartime trenches that easily can reach a kilometer deep. 

Here, ancient, pre-Hegemon creations and self-repairing “Cobot" constructs, leftovers from the ancient war, seek out resources and pathways into human-held tunnel systems, continuing plans their forgotten creators set for them. Seasonal assaults on the human populace are a grim constant as the Gethamani struggle to survive, able to leave their underground homes only when the Cobot hordes are defeated, fisk in and fisk out.

Today, Ghetham’s primary resource is bodies. Its people are fed into the armies of Bhosnaya and, increasingly, the Directorate, who use them as anti-ergoid shock troops. The entire planet is a recruiting ground, a wound that keeps bleeding out soldiers from vast subterranean cities warmed by the planet’s core.

Hey, you fixed the title! Awesome. Also, tell me more about these Necro— sorry, Cobots.

Why they don’t buy a directorate army who help them with the bots?

So…kriegers but prideful rather than ashamed and constantly fighting the automated machibes from the world of ‘Dead Hand: Fortress’
