Description:

Brief Summary: Luna - “Luna, Terra's only natural satellite, is a densely settled Civilised World of the Imperium. Its massive population lives in great cities built deep below the lunar regolith. Luna is most famous for the gene-laboratories where the Emperor of Mankind made the genetic breakthroughs that would ultimately culminate in the creation of the large numbers of Astartes who comprised the Space Marine Legions of the late 30th Millennium. Luna also boasted a large collection of orbital dockyards for starship construction and maintenance, although these were destroyed during the Horus Heresy.”

Notable Locations:

• Somnus Citadel — Headquarters of the Sisters of Silence
• Port Luna — Naval base for Battlefleet Sol. An enormous shipyard capable of accommodating thousands of starships, at the time of the Horus Heresy it was the largest man-made military structure in history.
• The Circuit — A massive artificial valley filled with military compounds, command centers, factories, and other facilities.
• The Ring — A belt of defensive platforms that form a continuous ring around the planet. Made from rock excavated from Luna itself, it is bristling with countless Lance, Torpedo, and Macrocannon batteries. During the Horus Heresy, the Ring was significantly damaged, and since then has not been completely repaired, more resembling an arc than a full ring.
• Herodotus Omega Dome - Held an vault holding the ancient Selenar artifact known as the Magna Mater. During the Siege of Terra traitor forces attempted to breach the Dome and acquire the artifact, causing Ta'lab Vita-37 to recruit the crew of the Sisypheum for aid. During the battle, the Dome was destroyed.
