Overview
A humid death world, Vitcun is covered in dense jungles that live above extensive tunnels that comb the planet. Although difficult, humanity has established a presence on Vitcun where every day is a fight for survival. All animals have evolved to use both the jungle and the tunnels to their advantage, running behind a tree to then appear behind their prey through a hidden hole. Almost all creatures on Vitcun can dig, though most save their energy and either dig their territory only or follow the tunnels of the Tropursine, the apex predator of Vitcun. Tropursines resemble ancient Terran bears with fur replaced by razor sharp needles which it is all too happy to stick prey to for later nourishment. Tropursines, Flying Eye Leeches, Stalagticks, and many others force Vitcuneese to be exceptionally quick and perceptive-any too slow or who can't find a tunnel quickly enough turn into dinner if they're lucky, or a nest of creatures' seasonal nourishment if not.
The few settlements of Vitcun are heavily fortified stilt towns, as the tunnels can breach even the fortified rockcrete base used thus the inhabitants live in elevated barracks lest they be attacked at their most vulnerable. Most Vitcun live nomadic lives, either living in the perilous rivers (themselves filled with nasty fauna like the Vampire Barnacles), or traveling from settlement fortress to settlement fortress to bring news, trade, or find shelter. Food is not farmed on Vitcun, instead only hunted or foraged, and therefore most Vitcuneese are good hunters. The Imperium doesn't raise many regiments from Vitcun owing to their incredibly small size, but the Vitcun Tunnel Rats are prized for tight urban, mining, void combat, or manufactorum missions where their penchant for finding and traveling through enclosed places to deliver themselves right in the enemy's heart for a brutal fight are prized. Vitcun also provides several operatives for the Inquisition and wealthy nobles of the sector, and are instantly recognizable by their flatter faces, unique accent, and epicanthic folds.
