malika666 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Thought it would be cool to include some more info on the Sol System here! Terra and Mars are already quite straightforward: Terra is the capital/home world of the Imperium whilst Mars is the capital world of the Mechanicum. Yes, I see them as separate entities since the Mechanicum is allied to the Imperium, not an assimilated component. So here are the planets and moons. I'll hope to update the first post with new (sourced) info whenever you guys post it. I hope you guys can help me out filling this in further. I need to make the text look nicer, which I'll do when I have more time and more stuff to add. If you do come with more info, please, also state where you got it from, so we know it's official! Thank you! =================================== Mercury [nothing yet] Venus In Reflection Crack'd Fulgrim remembers a story of a warrior trapped in an invisible maze in the Erycinian Highlands of Venus... Terra Pretty straight forward...it deserves a separate thread though, once that thread has been made, a link to it will be added here. Luna Originally ruled by Gene-cults, the Emperor sent the VII Legion, XIII Legion, and XVI Legion to conquer it. This battle, known as the "First Pacification of Luna", defined the XVI Legion, earning them the name Luna Wolves. Mars Pretty straight forward...it deserves a separate thread though, once that thread has been made, a link to it will be added here. Deimos Apparently it served as a Forge World, according to the Grey Knights Codex, it was during the Horus Heresy that Malcador "relocated" the moon to Titan so it could provide the hardware for the Grey Knights. Ok... Phobos It is known for raising regiments for the Imperial Guard later on, such as the "Phobos 16th Regiment", at least according to the background book "The 13th Black Crusade". No other info out there. Asteroid belt [no info yet] Ceres [no info yet] Jupiter Colonized by humans during the Age of Terra, but got conquered by cruel Xenos overlords (according to the FW book Betrayal). Later on Jupiter would serve as Terra's shipyard (according to Nemesis). Ananke According to Nemesis this moon is known to have had habitats on its surface by the era of the Horus Heresy. Iocaste According to Nemesis this moon is known to have had habitats on its surface by the era of the Horus Heresy. Europa According to Nemesis Europa had been geo-engineered into an ocean-moon by the Horus Heresy. Io [no info yet] Ganymede Basically a giant shipyard, but would fall to a disaster known as the "Contagion of Ganymede". The Adeptus Mechanicus when they began experiments in warp-core technology used by the Squats (in the retcon this would then either be Dark Age tech or maybe even Xenos or Chaos). As a result of this incident, the Technomagi of the Adeptus Mechanicus gave up their experiments in studying this technology. (source: Codex Imperialis) Thule According to Nemesis this is an asteroid moon that served as the clandestine shipyard for the Furious Abyss and was destroyed by renegade members of the Adeptus Mechanicus during the Horus Heresy. In Betrayal we find out that there are more ships of the same type as the Furious Abyss, don't have the book here, but I can imagine that those ships were built there as well? Callisto According to Nemesis it's a moon of Jupiter known to hold residential orbitals above its surface by the Horus Heresy. Amalthea [no info yet] Saros Station (info taken from Lexicanum, who claim it's from Nemesis) This space station in orbit around Jupiter resembled a vast spindle bathing in crimson glow which made it appear as if it were crystal chandelier that had been severed from its mounting and thus cast free into the void. Unlike the majority of the gas giants industrial and colonial cohorts, the station had been a resort platform by the Horus Heresy where the Jovian elite found respite as well as diversion from the works of the shipyards and manufactories. It was said that only the Venus orbitals could surpass Saros Station in luxury with its avenues of gold and silver, null-gardens, auditoriums along with the finest opera houses outside the Imperial Palace. Saturn Used to be home to an indepenent polity, its military arm was the "Saturnine Fleet". When they encountered the Imperium they willingly joined. (according from Battle for the Abyss) However, portions of the Saturn system were occupied by a rival faction, the so-called Ringers, who fought against and were conquered by the Imperium, having been defeated by the Death Guard (would this have been the Death Guard, or the Dusk Raiders? Might be a slight inconsistency here). According to the FW book Betrayal, the Imperium would also fight against aliens and their human slaves here. Mimas Would later house an Inquisitorial prison complex according to the novel "Grey Knights" by Ben Counter. Encaladus Would after the Heresy contain an Inquisitorial citadel, known as the Encaladus Fortress (according to the novel Hammer of Daemons). The Encaladus Fortress also incorporates the Admiralty Spire, where the empire of Saturn's rulers signed their treaty with the Emperor (Battle for the Abyss). Tethys Would in the future become an Inquisitorial/Grey Knights facility, filled with imprisoned daemons. Titan Would become the Grey Knights homeworld, Malcador dragged the Martian moon Deimos to it and then made it and Titan invisible for a while so the Grey Knights chapter could be formed... Iapetus Iapetus was a stronghold of the Ringers in pre-Imperial times. During the battle of Cassini Regio the Death Guard would defeat the Ringers there. After the Heresy it would be home to a Naval Fortress and dock that serves the strike fleets of the Grey Knights, along with the battleships requisitioned from Battlefleet Solar. Prometheus [no info yet] Janus [no info yet] Phoebe [no info yet] Hyperion [no info yet] Epimetheus [no info yet] Dione [no info yet] Rhea [no info yet] Uranus [nothing yet] Umbriel [no info yet] Ariel [no info yet] Miranda [no info yet] Titania [no info yet] Oberon [no info yet] Neptune Colonized by humanity during the Age of Terra (according to Galaxy in Flames). According to Betrayal Imperial forced had to first purge this world of its mutated population. Triton [no info yet] Nereid [no info yet] Larissa [no info yet] Naiad [no info yet] Thalassa [no info yet] Despina [no info yet] Galatea [no info yet] Proteus [no info yet] Halimede [no info yet] Sao [no info yet] Psamathe [no info yet] Laomedeia [no info yet] Neso [no info yet] Centaurs [no info yet] Kuiper belt [no info yet] Pluto [Nothing yet] Charon [no info yet] Nix [no info yet] Hydra [no info yet] S/2011 P 1 [no info yet] S/2012 P 1 [no info yet] Makemake [no info yet] Haumea [no info yet] Hiʻiaka [no info yet] Namaka [no info yet] Eris [no info yet] Dysnomia [no info yet] Sedna Not officially a planet, but it's the furtest thing in the Sol system. It was burnt away by the newly formed warfleet. This was done by the newly formed warfleet, so note that before this there was no "official" warfleet, just a fleet of armed ships. Or perhaps this new "warfleet" would have been the first actual Expedition Fleet? Might it be that the departure of the Sol system was marked by the destruction of Sedna?

Lepaca Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Very cool idea! Â Are we sure though that the Phobos regiments come from the actual moon instead of just some other Imperial world also called Phobos? Imperial Guard regiments from inside the Sol system seem kind of unlikely.

Olis Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Iirc, there's Saturnine Hoplites, as well as any units coming straight from Terra. Using that example, multiple Sol derived Army/Guard regiments isn't implausible, imho.

Kol Saresk Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Wasn't the Lucifer Blacks in Legion an old Terran Army unit? Give me five to double check that.

Kol Saresk Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Hmm, they are directly from Terra. But apparently there are so few in number that they only act as bodyguards. Meanwhile the Geno Chiliads seem to be vat-grown armies straight from Terra herself.
