Okay, here is the description of the planets in the sub-sector that actually have strategic significance.

There are about six planets which are worthy of conflict: Borok, Nephes, Hecura, Gallarax, Tilphex, Grondua.

Borok

Borok is one of the four Imperial planets in the system, a simple agri-world, known for its high mountain ranges and thick forests (forests, not jungles). It is comprised of a single massive landmass, which is surrounded by a single ocean in which live a wide range of sea serpent like creatures. In the very middle of the continent is a large lake that has a large number of fish species living in it. There are about ten main fortifications, none of which are particularly heavy duty, but the planet is capable of mustering about three thousand PDF troopers to defend these locations.

Nephes

Nephes is a thickly jungle covered planet in now Eldar controlled space. The xenos have quickly re-stylised the planet to their own design and there are several clusters of Eldar structures on the planet already. The local population is comprised mostly of wild animals, with a few Imperial settlements, most of which were military in purpose.

Hecura

One of the Imperial planets, Hecura is a Hive-world with an extremely cold climate. It has several highly powerful orbital cannons and a PDF of 10000 men, 2000 of which are mechanised troopers. It has very strong defences and is the heart of Imperial strength in the sub-sector and as such is the Eldars' main objective. It's two moons have been fortified with orbital defences and have a permanent garrison with two cruisers stationed to protect them. It is the main hub of trade in the area, and is the home of many rich aristocrats.

Gallarax

Gallarax is a desert world with the 196th Forenta armoured division stationed on it. The planet is the prime setting for tank battles and has several bunkers and repair stations around the planet. The civilian population on the planet is almost nil, with only a small handful of outlying settlements.

Tilphex

Tilphex is an Imperial agri-world with three continents on it. It is very similar to earth in its climate with a mixture of plains, forests, deserts and jungles. The main continent has several cities on it, as well as a number or orbital cannons. The other two continents are mostly farm based and can only muster about a thousand PDF troopers each. The main continent has about 3000 PDF troopers on it.

Grondua

The other Eldar controlled planet, which is a rather dead like world, with a large number of rocky plains and mountain ranges. There are however a large number of rivers further north along with some deciduous woodland. This is where the Eldar have set up their colonies, driving the humans out into the wastelands. Dagorekh's forces have also landed further south of the continent, managing to shield their presence from the eldar with Sarumanekh's highly advanced cloaking technology.

I think that's about it. It's only a brief summary, I may go into more detail later.
