The dominating feature of the Sculptor System is its seven gas giants. Yet, perhaps more notable, is the presence of two dozen habitable moons orbiting these planets, with many of these worlds inhabited and some clearly terraformed in the distant past. These moons run the gamut of Imperial […]
Iconia is a Gamma-class (civilized) planet in Stellar System G89-87-A2. The planet is slightly smaller than Terra, but has an unusually large, molten iron-based core that produces a robust magnetic field around the planet. One unique aspect of Iconia is its millennia-old government policy of balancing the need […]
Continued from Part 1 . . . Notable Areas Palagra—The capital city of Iconia, Palagra, is known as the “City of Waterfalls” for the 137 cascades within and around the city of 250,000. A wonder of architecture, the city features several towering gothic cathedrals to the Emperor, as […]
Dozaria is a Class M civilized planet in the Dozarian System of the Corvus Cluster. The world had a reputation for excellent governance, as Imperial governors over the millennia balanced economic growth, the preservation of the environment, the living standards of its citizens, and compliance with Imperial tithes.

Among those chapters who claim a world as their own, such as the Space Wolves, their fortress-monasteries often are built on the tallest mountain peaks of their planet—or in some isolated and inhospitable locale, such […]
Continued from part 1 . . . Logistical support The greatest weakness of the Sanctum is obvious. The fortress-monastery has no natural supply of air, water, food, or necessary materials to supply its armory. As a result, the chapter has instituted a stringent recycling program. Water vapor collectors, […]
One hundred and sixteen. That’s how many planets, moons, space hulks, and other interstellar locations currently are documented as existing in the Corvus Cluster. How do I know that? I went through the 571 articles of this website and wrote them all down. I did this for two […]
A μ-class, feudal world or medieval world is a classification of world existing in a technologically medieval state. The most advanced such worlds possess black powder weaponry. The tithes from these planets are slightly more than those of Feral Worlds (generally from Solutio Prima to Solutio Extremis), thanks to the development of agriculture. A feudal world typically has […]
The Twilight World. That is the affectionate, yet descriptive name given to the mining planet of Volana by its populace. The planet orbits close (22 million kilometers ) to its brown dwarf star , Cyrpress Prime, and the gravitational forces interacting between the two bodies has synchronized Volana’s […]
A sister moon of Dar Sai, Druidia is the closest moon orbiting the gas giant of Sculptor III in the Sculptor System. No Imperial records document the date of Druidia’s settlement. Folklore suggests that, as the world has limited mineral resources, the Administratum never formally settled the moon […]
