Emush is an Imperial Warden Planet of the Cordon Impenetra, which borders the Ork Empire of Octarius.[1]
History
It was once a glorious Paradise World, but it was converted into an armoured fortress during the Octarius War. Emush's forests were burned to create huge kill zones and to deny the biomass to any attacking Tyranids. The world's lakes were also siphoned into subterranean cisterns to ensure its defenders could handle years-long sieges without the need for resupply.[1]
During the Octarius War, scores of Death Korps of Krieg Regiments were deployed to Emush, before it was invaded by Warboss Thruk Irongob. Now millions of Orks thunder across the world's surface and wars rage from continent-shaking battles to short but brutal skirmishes.[1]
