Rassia

Rassia is a vitally important Imperial fortress world of the Canum System and is an Astra Militarum Homeworld of the elite Rassian Iron Corps, specialist Astra Militarum regiments that excel in trench warfare, hive warfare and ranged combat. These regiments possess a long, proud history of having faithfully and steadfastly serving the Emperor since the bygone era of the Great Crusade and during the dark times of the Horus Heresy against the forces of the Arch-Traitor.

Background
Rassia is a Fortress World in the Canum System, the same system that Korschei is located in. The fourth planet, Rassia, has three moons, all turned into fortress moons with massive compliments of defense lasers and macrocannons. The planet is covered in temperate forests and grasslands and has a population of 900,000,000,000. Each year, hundreds of regiments of the Rassian Iron Corps are raised as per the annual tithe. Yet the people of Rassia view this as an honor to serve the Emperor. Raised from age six for either a life in the many fields of manufacturing on the planet or the military, all Rassians are taught the virtues of hard work, discipline, and knowledge. The Rassian Iron Corps excel in trench warfare, sieges, armored assaults, defense, and air combat. As such, they are usually deployed to same warzones as the infamous Death Korps of Krieg.

The industrial capabilities of Rassia rival that of Armageddon or even a Forge World, the better to keep up with the enormous recruitment rates and to meet the demands of the Iron Corps. Half of the objects created in the hundreds of factories, foundries, steel mills, and forges are for the everyday civilian life on Rassia – tools, appliances, computers, civilian vehicles, household items, and many other similar things. The other half are objects for the Iron Corps. These include charge packs, lasguns, plasma guns, grenades, Chimeras, Leman Russ tanks, hazardous environment survival gear, medi-packs, flak armor, carapace armor, and many other vehicles, supervised by the adepts of Toyotis. The Rassian Iron Corps have an unusually large number of Crassus heavy armored transports, Malcador tanks, and Thunderer Siege Tanks, thanks to both its industrial capability and its alliance with Forge World Toyotis.
