Jehgenesh
A Jehgenesh (literally a "drinker of seas") is a Chaos beast that acts as a Warp Gate for transportation of liquids (such as water, oil, promethium, and certain gas reserves). The liquid swallowed by these daemonic creatures is sent through the Warp to be ejected onto another planet, sometimes across entire star systems. When dormant and infolded, a Jehgenesh is small enough to be stored within a glass canister. But when released into an abundant source of water (or any liquids), it will grow exponentially and be ready to function within days.[1] The Jegenesh can also transport mineral ore and is speculated to even be able to deploy entire armies.[2b]
Chaos forces use these daemons to transport billions of cubic metres of water (and other liquids) to the planets that need them. The Sons of Sek have been known to utilize a number of Jehgeneshes on Gereon to supply water to at least nine of Magister Anakwanar Sek's conquered worlds.[1] Elements of the Tanith First and Only, supporting pro-Imperial resistance groups, would destroy several Jehgenesh,[3] one at the Lectica hydroelectic dam, before their return to Imperial lines on Ancreon Sextus.[2a]
