==DefensesDefences==As the center centre of the Imperium, the Sol System sports the heaviest known defenses defences in the [[Galaxy]]. At the very edge of the System near the [[Mandeville Point]] are arrays of [[Star Fort]]s garrisoned by [[Regiment]]s of the [[Imperial Guard]]. The rest of the outer System is densely laced with thousand-mile-wide minefields, [[Imperial Navy]] patrol monitors, and enormous [[Hunter Servitor]]s. Past these is the core defenses defences of the system, most notably the enormous [[Battlefleet Solar]] of the Imperial Navy. In addition to these forces, the [[Grey Knights]], [[Inquisition]], [[Adeptus Mechanicus]], and [[Adeptus Arbites]] all have substantial forces in-system deployed through endless bases, stations, and garrisons. At Terra itself orbits the massively powerful [[Imperial Fists]] battlestation known as ''[[The Phalanx]]''. Due to the massive daily influx of zealots, adepts, bureaucrats, merchants, pilgrims, etc. and the like, daily security is screened heavily by the [[Adeptus Custodes]]. The Custodes maintain surveillance stations and listening devices throughout the System.{{Fn|3}}
Known [[Imperial Guard]] [[Regiment]]s based in the Sol System include the [[Palatine Sentinels]], [[Lucifer Blacks]], [[Jupiter Storms]], [[Auroran Rifles]], [[Granite Myrmidons]], [[Inferallti Hussars]], [[Orion Watch]],{{Fn|1}} and potentially the [[Terran Praefects]].
