The Magog System was a Chaos controlled star system of the Charon Stars near the Hadex Anomaly in the Jericho Reach, Ultima Segmentum.[1a][2a]
Contents
Description
Magog was a binary pulsar system, with a radiation swept storm zone.[2a] It had only one inhabitable planet, also called Magog.[1a]
History
Before the Hadex Anomaly manifested in 656.M40, the Magog system was under the control of the Imperium. Since then, it was drawn into and exited from the anomaly countless times, as the anomaly expanded and receded.[1a][1b]
At the start of the Achilus Crusade's Acheros Salient, Imperial forces suffered heavy losses, the worst of which was the loss of the Storm Wardens' Battlebarge Warchilde, which was left as a hulk drifting in orbit within the Magog System's storm zone.[2a]
During the Achilus Crusade, one of the two Word Bearers Hosts in the Jericho Reach was identified by the presence of their Desolator Battleship Dark Chorus in the Magog System.[1c] Chaos Space Marine vessels bearing the markings of the warband The Pyre were also seen in the Magog and Vanity systems, along with Company sized deployments of Pyre forces. Their vessels may have been shared with their allies.[1d]
A group from the Knights of Blood operated on the outskirts of the Magog System during the Achilus Crusade. Imperial forces incorrectly reported them as a Traitor Legion force, and a Deathwatch kill-team was despatched to intercept. They arrived at the Magog System, and identified the group as being the Knights of Blood, but before they could decide how to respond, a nearby Imperial outpost was attacked by Chaos forces, and the Knights of Blood went to aid the Imperial forces.[3]
Known Planets
- Magog, once an Imperial Agri-world, obliterated itself and became a Chaos Fortress World, possibly orbited by a Blackstone Fortress[1a][2b][4]
