Imperial Needle
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Imperial Needle is a tower located in Cracia City on the planet Pyrites.[1]
The Needle was constructed by the Pyriteans to honour the Emperor of Mankind, whilst also celebrating their own engineering capabilities. The tower is made of iron and rises over three kilometres, dwarfing many of the other important structures in Cracia. Many of the natives were able to use the Needle to tell the time, as it acted as the gnomon of a giant sundial.[1]
