Lunar Centurion Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 As the title implies, what did Luna do during the Heresy? Did they send out IA regiments, or sit back and watch? Was it terraformed, or did they live in giant bubbles? Thanks in advance!

Was it terraformed, or did they live in giant bubbles? Thanks in advance! I believe the same thing it always did: orbiting Terra. Sorry, could resist. :teehee: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316062-luna-during-the-heresy/#findComment-4225481 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skalpynock Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 During the Wars of Unity, it was full of Gene-cults, who initially didn't want to accept Imperial authority. Got struck hard by the combined strenght of the Imperial Fists, XIII, and XVI legions, the latter gaining its cognomen of "Luna Wolves". Then we don't know what happened, but can suppose the gene-wrights stayed and worked for the Imperium.

Calas Typhon Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 It was a shipyard if I am not mistaken, the largest in the sector. During the Battle of Terra, It caused massive casualties among the forces of Horus, so It could be argued it was just a giant fortress too.

Lucien Eilam Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 The Great Crusade kicked off with the First Pacification of Luna, which implies there was a second one at some point. All military bases in the system fell to Horus before the Battle of Terra, so maybe the Second Pacification was clearing the Traitors out. The gene-wrights of Luna played an important role in building the Legions, their labs allowing the process to be scaled up sufficiently for the Great Crusade. It was (and still is) also a shipyard for Battlefleet Solar. It's classified as a Dead World, so not terraformed - the population live in sub-surface hive cities. the largest in the sector I don't think so. Maybe "one of" the largest. It's not going to be bigger than Mars itself, which in completely encircled by orbital shipyards.

Plasmablasts Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Weren't those who arrived on the Eisenstein held in a fortress on Luna? Sorry, not got the book to hand.

drooling blood Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 The Sisters of Silence have a presence on the moon dont they. Though why the traitors didnt knock it out of the sky when they turned up, is anyones guess.

Yeah, I believe Malcador has some kind of secret base/fortress there, (wo)maned by Sisters of Silence among others: this is where Garro and his crew are held when they arrive back from Istvaan, and is later the base of operations of the Knights Errant (when Garro boards the Phalanx, I think they say he is on his way from Luna) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316062-luna-during-the-heresy/#findComment-4225590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasmablasts Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Thought that was the case. Long time since I read it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316062-luna-during-the-heresy/#findComment-4225593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevak Dal Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 One of my biggest issues with destiny is that you go all over the solar system instead of taking back earth first, then Luna, then Venus, etc. Idont recall any mention of Venusian colonies Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316062-luna-during-the-heresy/#findComment-4225777 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 We dont actually know much of the Wider Solar System in 30/40k, do we? Beyond Terra and Mars and +/- Jupiter/Saturn due to the GK being there.

Rob P Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Didn't Loken look after a little garden on Luna in one of the stories bridging the Garro one where he was found on Istvaan III and Vengeful Spirit?
