Tōshō

Tōshō, also known as Dongchuang, is a harsh ice planet. It is very inhospitable.

Dongchuang natives mostly live beneath the ground in vast tunnel systems, though some structures are aboveground. After centuries of life on the planet, the Dongchuan people have adapted to the local environment. Most have white hair and pale skin from their subterranean existence. They are also used to the biting icy air and can live comfortably without respiration gear, though most of them still wear the respiration gear. Severe electrical and snow storms prevent aerial exploration as well.

They are like the Helghast. The planet's native inhabitants view the limited colonisation by the Imperial Army and Yashimese as an invasion, and resist at every turn. The hostile environment prevents any major action.

Tōshō is officially considered to be in open rebellion. The truth is, however, the Empire is just unable to colonise the planet or set up viable large-scale mining operations due to the Dongren opposition and local natural conditions. As such the Empire's control over the planet extends to orbit and a few scattered settlements that are almost constantly under siege.

Dongchuang Autocracy.

Tōshō
Dongchuang (Tōshō) is also fiercely independent but the people there are not loyal to the People's Republic, rather themselves. It's where the Helghast shit goes down.
