I didn't mean for it to disapear as in vanish completly
I ment for it to vanish from radio, go silent, stop communicating/sending representatives, and from that all sorts of nasties spring up, such as the oblitorator virus experiments from a mad man who's still on the ghost burg, other things could stem from that too.
The reason for its disapearance could be due to any number of situation, there could have been a mass uprising from the workforce that resulted in the deaths of all of the higher ups being replaced with the leaders of the rebllion, but in the chaos the astropaths/communication tower snuffed it and theres no-one to replace/repair it.
Or there could have been a fire (or even still is a fire) that prevents anyone from going topside and the Ghost burg actual is still trudging along happily with everyone living under the sea level.
Or there could have been a chaos uprising and its not a shrine to which ever chaos god
Or its could have just all gone pie shaped and order fell appart the city state falling into nightmarish disorder with no distict leader but "gangs" battling over sections of the hive, with rogue elements stiring up the mix, such as aforementioned dark mechanicus, and in actual fact the burg is a warzone but instead of a few factions there are dozens like a continuallt rolling hive war.
Or as mentioned the Adpetus mechanicus has gone all Storm of Iron and poisoned the populace for some unknown reason possibly to protect something of the Ghost Burg that they want to keep to themselves, maybe the poison had adverse effects on some people causing them to mutate, or go insane etc
EDIT
And a reworked possible breif history of the world from Imperial discovery onwards withsome added flavours just to put something in the big gaps of time
During 35M world is discovered by Warmaster Martius during the *** Crusade which has been until then suffering with serious supply problems due to supply lines being cut off by chaos attack, upon closer inspection by the Adeptus Mechanicus the petrochemical oceans are uncovered, a static base is established and refinery which is used during the remainder of the crusade as a secret fuel depot which plays a key role in the Crusades Success.
Warmaster Martius is the awarded system in gratitude for services done to the Imperium; the world is reclassified as Martius' Hope in recognition of the fact that without its fuel the crusade would have been doomed.
Latter Half of M35 The static base is abandoned in favour of three Floating Refineries which are established to better harvest the fuel, colonisation developed from these refineries with full cities being built upon them.
Start of M 36 Static refinery is dismantled and transported to the now established Principle Hive which has taken the name Cove of St Martius. Static Base is salvaged for parts and left. Reports of indigenous peoples are suppressed by the planetary government are lies and rumours.
37M More Hive Burg's are established to meet demands for fuels from the Imperium, the quickly develop as fresh workforces are brought in from off world with promises of new wealth and better lives, The Original Hive Burgs continue to grow and develop.
38M One of the original Hive Burgs suddenly and inexplicably vanishes from radar, no communications are received when other Hives attempt to discover the situation, when sent to investigate teams are unable to locate the burg and it is presumed to have sung beneath the waves.
Latter half of 38M Reports of a Ghost Burg are starting to appear, suppressed as wild rumours to stir up fear, investigations turn up nothing although several teams dispatched never return, presumed to have claimed by the sea, case is closed.
39M Invasion by Orks results in the utter destruction of Hive Burg 7, Orks are unsuccessful in gaining an purchase on other Hive Burgs and are forced to abandon their attack, upon leaving the world Ork fleet is destroyed by Imperial and Space Marine Fleet.
Latter of the first half of 39M Reports from explorer teams stating that ork iconography has been discovered on the singular landmass, Planetary Government send in PDF patrols and uncover Indigenous peoples but no Orks, those people found are indoctrinated into the Imperial as Serfs. It is speculated that many more tribes exist
Later Half of 39M Ghost Burg is formally recognised by two Hive Burg’s as a lost Hive Burg, all attempts to reclaim the Ghost Burg fail for unknown reasons. All other attempts abandoned.
M40 Chaos incursion, results in the loss and recapture of Hive Burg 4, as Chaos forces are forced from the Hive Burg they ignite the fuel reserves causing severe damage to the top side of Hive Burg 4, fires ignite ocean fuels, planetary government takes steps to stop the spread of fire and Hive Burg 4 is surrounded by walls of fire for 72 years until the flames can be suppressed.
Later Half of M41 An incident on Hive Burg 9 involving high winds and a interplanetary transport result in the loss of the hive Burg as resultant Explosion from the transports crash causes Hive Burg to sink taking with it close to 5 billion souls. In the wake of this tragedy it is decided that the original static base be made operational once again as a fully functioning space port and loading dock for supplies to be shipped to Hive Burg’s on smaller transport airships or via oceanic trawlers. Move is passed in Government and work starts at the end of M41.
007 M42 “Present day” The static Base names the Gate of Martis is 65% complete, work has been hindered by attacks from unknown saboteurs, speculation indicated indigenous tribes but are unconfirmed, reports of ork sightings are unconfirmed and security is increased with a permanent guard of PDF. Several Explorer and patrol teams have gone missing whilst investigating the landmass for any signs of indigenous tribes. One such Explorator team’s camp was discovered by a PDF patrols showing signs of ancient ruins of unknown origin. Adeptus Mechanicus establish a base of operations as does the Inquisition to investigate.
