Balle Prime is an Imperial world that orbits a pair of binary stars.[1][2]
History
In 942.M40 the planet was invaded by the orks of Waaagh! Ugskraga. Although the orks overwhelmed Balle Prime's orbital defences easily, the Imperial defence of the planet held firm. Following a decisive Imperial victory in the battle known as the Akhar Basin Massacre, the orks were eventually defeated.[1][2]
Geography
Most of Balle Prime's surface is not habitable by humans. The only areas capable of sustaining life are regions of the planet's equatorial deserts.[2]
Notable Locations
- Battle Alpha — Capital city.[2]
- Akhar Basin — A valley in the desert to the east of Balle Alpha. Site of a pitched battle between the Astra Militarum and the ork invaders.[2]
