Riatov System
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Riatov System is a star system located in the Chalnath Expanse.[1]
History
In the wake of the Great Rift's creation, Riatov was struck by the T'au Empire's Fifth Sphere of Expansion. When the T'au invaded the System, Riatov became an inferno of bloodshed between the Astra Militarum, Genestealer Cultists and the Imperium's forces.[1]
Further complicating matters, an Ork Space Hulk alongside flotillas of Greenskin warships has arrived in the Riatov System. The war has entered a new, more chaotic phase.[2]
