'''Valhalla''' was originally a verdent paridise world[[Paradise World]], home to the [[Imperial Guard]] regiment [[Valhallan Ice Warriors]]. No records survive of its colonisation, but legends recall a world ripe for conquest. Unfortunatly, Valhalla was destined for something else. It was hit by a gigantic comet. The defence lasers surrounding the planet blasted the comet, but only succeeded in breaking it up. Later, it was found that the comet was made of almost pure iron, explaining why the lasers were so ineffective. The comet impacted in the vast ocean spanning most of the planet but a mile-wide fragment impacted the northern continent, creating vast plumes of dust which proceeded to cover the planet in a blanket of dirt. Also, the planets orbit was changed, moving it a lot further away from its star. This change in the amount of warmth and light altered the planets ecosystem, chainging changing the planet to an [[Ice World|icy wasteland]].
The people struggled to make a living, fearing famine due to a lack of viable farmland. The comet was bad, but not to be the end of their suffering. A damaged [[Ork]] warfleet descended on the planet and proceeded to fight the Valhallans for the food they had stored. They held out bravely for a long time in their vast [[hive ]] cities beneath the ice but were pushed right back to the food vats. After a ferocious battle, they destroyed the Orks by using ice boring machines to strategically strike at the heart of the mob, burning and melting most of the orks Orks and scattering the rest.
Valhalla is still an ice world but its people are still hanging on grimly, providing meterials materials for the [[Imperium]].
