Kimmeria is a Feral World in the Ultima Segmentum and a recruiting world for the Dark Angels Chapter.[1]
History
Kimmeria is one of the worlds the Dark Angels recruit from, after they discovered that their primary recruitment world, known as the Plains World, had been overrun by Genestealers.[1] It was discovered by the Dark Angels in their pursuit of the Fallen Angel Cypher, who escaped by the time they reached it. Though Cypher was gone, the Dark Angels realized Kimmeria was an ideal source for Aspirants and began to recruit from the world.[2] Dark Angel representatives visit Kimmeria once every standard human lifetime and recruit the most promising juveniles.[3]
Known recruits from Kimmeria include Azrael[3] and Nerael.[5]
