Rotteskelig
The rat-like indigenous intelligent species on Regulus. The name they use for themselves most closely translates as Siskivn or Shiskivn but the humans generally refer to them as by the term Rotteskelig given to them by the first human explorers to discover them or by the shortened form rotes or ratspawn in the most derogatory form.
- Humanity has tried on multiple occasions to wipe them out but they are very difficult to eradicate.
- They live in small enclaves in areas too inhospitable for humans.
- Their biology makes them resistant to the heat and ash conditions on the planet.
- Desperation has caused many of them to turn to chaos as a way to fight back against the humans.
- There are multiple clans and most of them have pledged themselves to chaos.
- The Rotteskelig are harboring chaos allies on the planet that seek to weaken its defenses in preparation for an invasion. Death Guard and Alpha Legion forces are known to be involved.
