Editing Exirans (section)

===Hektor Heresy===
The Exiran regiments in the Imperial Army became divided in allegiance. During Hektor's push towards Terra, a planned coup by the Princes against the current Kaiser Orno Ironside fails. This is due in no small part to the Lantzers overthrowing their noble commanders. Exirus is overwhelmed shortly into the Heresy, being directly in the path of Hektor's advance to Terra. The Kaiser is able to retreat off world, taking with him a few million survivors out of the four billion populace which is purged by Traitor Legionnaires. After the Heresy Orno returns to repopulate Exirus. It would not become the Exirus of the past, with Orno rebuilding it without much of the vestigial feudal structure. His design would make Exirus into a standard Hive World. Later generations of Exirans would have no recollection of their proud, rich culture before the Heresy being hardly distinguishable from citizens from other Hive Worlds.
