Orpheus Prime's Famine

Orpheus Prime's Famine was an Imperial humanitarian campaign carried out by the compassionate Ashen Drakes Space Marine Chapter, which took place in the Orpheus Sector from 843-847.M36 upon the mining world of Orpheus Prime.

History
Coming back from a suppression campaign against a migrating Orks fleet, the 3rd and 6th Companies stop at Orpheus Prime, a mining world at twelve light-years from their homeworld of Inikar after their Archivists receive a distress call. Upon arriving into the planet's orbit they discover a peaceful but dying world. The local governor, either due to incompetence or greed, as pushed the low-populated planet into a state of famine threatening to turn to open revolt. While the minors haven't yet broken into riots, seeking honourable solutions, tensions are running high and a local Astropath has called to the stars for help. Incensed by the governor's rule, the Ashen Drakes installed a planet-wide tribunal, gathering food and distributed it equally. While the tribunal sought to judge the guilty, the Astartes craft, with the citizens, a better functioning ruling system for Orpheus Prime and bring technology insuring a better food production locally. Impressed by the Orphean's behavior during this period, the Ashen Drakes vow to recruit a handful of them in their Chapter. When they depart this world, Orpheus Prime's food and mining production skyrocket.
