Bakka Triumveron is a gas giant in the Bakka System. It is much larger than even Jupiter and is described as bright yellow streaked with violet, shrouded with scores of shimmering rings of rock and ice. [1]
It is considered uninhabitable with storms on the planetary surface making it impossible to traverse and its rings lethal death traps. It does however have fourteen moons that have been colonized. Hive cities on these moons are named Rogelin, Sanctuary, Half Hope and Grey Harbour among others. During the Horus Heresy this made the Bakka System one of the most populated in the Segmentum. [1]
On the fourteenth moon, Bakka Triumveron 14, there are no hive cities as it is geologically unstable. It is instead used for geothermal energy harvesting for a web of orbital dockworks surrounding the moon, one of the largest Naval shipyards in the Segmentum. [1]
