Well we seem to have the ideas of whose the Bad Guys in Anargo at the present time
But what about prior events through out the Anargo sector?
Post oyur contemplations and roughly when they occured
Mine is about 300years ago a Cultist rebellion flared up on a Heavilly inhabited world
This rebellion was thought to be minor and was not reported by the local authorities dealing with it to the Govenor.
Later that night cultist sabatuers went on a spree of destruction bombing Power Station Comms Towers and PDF Barracks.
Using various substances ranging from mini nukes through to Backyard black powder bombs they systematically destroyed vital structures across the world.
Word finally reached the Govenor who immediately sent an Astropathic distress call. The Govenor called out the surviving PDF only to find that 2/3 had turned over to join the cultist forces.
A Nearby SM Strike Cruiser heard the distress call and immediately set out to assist the planet. Upon reaching the planet a gory scene of carnage confronted them.
Fighting and fire was all across the world in the Areas already under Cultist control, Civilians were being lined up in long lines to be sacrificed upon makeshift alters in an attempt to call upon the Dark Gods.
The marines made planetfall and immediately started to cleanse the world.
The World is now a ruined world with such massive destruction next to no-one survived the fighting and the fires let alone the Inquisitorial purges of those tainted.
This world is now basically one big cityfight planet

There has been some discussion about the prior war with the Alpha Legion and its cults. Apparently, the entire band of Alpha Legionnaires once fell upon the Anargo Sector in open war, simultaneously revealing the millions and millions of cultist followers in the Anargo sector. The schism crippled the sector, and the AL would have caused irreparable damage if it was not for the Frost Wraiths, who thwarted their plans. The Alpha Legionnaires in the sector have planned an attack against the Frost Wraiths ever since.
As for your suggestion, Lordof... If the planet had a major chaos uprising, which the Imperium has not been able to exterminate for three centuries, I think they would have brought out the big guns (read: bombardement cannons) by now.
How about we moderate your suggestion though? Maybe take one of the populated Imperial worlds in the Anargo sector and say that this planet had a chaos uprising 300 years ago. Though the world was saved, thanks to the Frost Wraiths (and Imperial Guard, probably), entire continents were razed, and had to be rebuilt. The Inquisition imposed penance upon the world, raising its tithes to force more raised Imperial Guard regiments, etc.

I'm not saying the Cultists are still there (Well there would be some but as with any planet there are always some)
I'm saying that the devestation of the planet was so massive in the conflict to cleanse it that the World has basically been abandoned to fix itself without outside support.
So you will have a World which supplies cityfight specialists who are hardy from years of living hard amongst the ruins of their once grand planetary cities.

Unless the war with the cultists is still going on, the planet isn't going to be a "cityfight planet", since there will be little fighting on the planet. Unless of course, the planet has fallen into complete anarchy. Still, I find it unlikely that the Imperium has just abandoned the entire world.. unless of course, the world has very little minerals and resources, in which case you should take a look at the concepts I have done for the worlds in the Proteus subsector. The one written as a Fallout-rip off seems like it could be used for what you want, if we compromise. Perhaps you would be interested in developing that world, when you're done with Thorp?

Well the planet would have been pretty much producing goods for export.
Well with all of the factories in ruins there wouldn't be much left to do except perhaps salvage a bit and move it elsewhere since the planets infrastructure is gone.
And yeah that planet could work (Hmmm... Nuclear Cleansing of the World anyone?)

Sounds also like something that might be more appropriate for the Cursed Subsector... Kage

Sounds also like something that might be more appropriate for the Cursed Subsector... Actually, it sounds exactly like one of the planets in the Proteus subsector, and since both Zidagar Dinoman and heretic have done a disappearing act, I'd appreciate it if you didn't steal away my potential helpers Besides, we still haven't figured out what the cursed subsector is really like, or if it will have people living there (like Lordof wanted) or still have Imperial worlds. Does anyone else have any history? Or shall i just start pumping out bazillions (Yes i know its not a real number) of ideas and backgrounds happenings? No reason to wait. Other people will come around and post their histories and ideas when they have the time and interest

Oh joyous I'm getting fought over Well as is fairly customary most of my ideas reveolve around violent happenings (Not all are wars, insurgencies etc.) But i was thinking what about other happenings such as non-violent occurences? Or shall we get to the boring stuff later?

<grin> That's up to you... It would be nice if the Crused Subsector began to receive some attention. Other subsectors seem to have received a disproportionate amount of attention... Guess it depends on what you're after. An entire subsector to play around in which the 'curse' and taint of the subsector means that it currently remains on Inquisitorial seal... or a subsector where the adeptus mechanicus has a significant influence and Chaos activity would be less, well, overt. (And non-overt presence can also be found in the Cursed Subsector... just depends on what you want to do there!) Kage

I'm probably late jumping in on this, but what the heck. Rather than styling it a Cityfight planet, what about expanding the Necromunda idea to a planetary scale ... gangs, small settlemetns, scavengers, mutants, fairly constant skirmishing.
That way the IG can still recruit its urban warfare specialists, if in smaller numbers than regimental size. Thoughts?

Well it is pretty much that
It isn't going to be anything on the Necromunda scope or scale.
And Cityfight is pretty close to a Necromunda game style except that the planet isn't a Hive World just heavilly developed without Proto hives. (Probably closest thing to a Proto Hive would be a few Sky Scrapers in Major Metro Areas)
