===[[Netheria Peninsula]]===
The '''Netheria Peninsula''' is located far to the east of the Deadlands region and contains the other major water producing site. It has four processing plants, named Eagle River Water Processing Plant as it is situated on the polluted Eagle River, Maigaard Rock Water Production Plant, the Resolute Bay Water Processing Plant which technically purifies the water produced by the Maigaard Rock and Laertes Valley Water Processing Plant, which is situated on the Laertes River Valley. These feed into the Netheria Peninsula Water Pumping Station via Overland Pipes and then via undersea pipelines to Armageddon.{{citethisFn|5}}
There is also the Valdez Omega Oil Platform which provides oil to Armageddon, as well as the McCready Cape Research Facility which contains many captured Orks, sent there to be studied.{{citethisFn|5}}
To the north is Orkwik Airfield, a haven for Ork fighters in the south. Also, S.S. Icerok is located close to Orkwik, a giant iceberg housing thousands of Orks that requires an engine big enough to move it across the ocean to assault Armageddon, although they will encounter problems when it starts melting. There is also one Ork Rok Dropsite to the west.{{citethisFn|5}}
Finally, there is the Imperial Emplacement OC-1867 "Armageddon Annie" gun battery emplacement, which when coupled with Emplacement SSB-1776 "Lethal Lucy" near Hive Helsreach, they serve to defend the south against orbital bombardments which could destroy the undersea pipelines. It also forms a bastion of defensive power, enough to hold the Orks back long enough for reinforcements to arrive.{{citethisFn|5}}
===[[Hive Tempestora]]===
The main feature of '''Hive Tempestora''' is the docks and pipelines from the Fire Wastes. There is also an Ork submersible graveyard, from which the Orks launched their attack on Tempestora and subsequently overran it. Also to the north is some Ash Wastelands created form the waste from the Tempestora East Factory Complex, the Morpheus Factory Complex and Khatrin Water Purification Plant, on the Morpheus River. There is one Ork Rok Dropsite located to the South East. Finally, the Morpheon Line faces inwards in order to contain the Orks within the Hive and eventually launch an attack on Tempestora with the intention of taking it back.{{Fn|56}} It is here that the Order of our Martyred Lady lost fully half their fighting forces defending the Sanctorum of St. Katherine to the last breath.{{Cite this}}
===[[Hive Death Mire]]===
'''Hive Helsreach''' is dominated by the Hive itself as well as the Balboa mountains to the east, overlooking Grendel's Lock, a huge dock which has been mostly overrun by the Orks. Further to the south east is the Valdez Alpha Offshore Oil Platform, providing vital resources to the factories of Armageddon. To the south is the Valhaskan Arteries which pump water from the Deadlands into the southern Hives. The Ironside Shipyards are also on the south coast where ships are built and repaired, but were quickly overrun by the Orks. There is one Ork Rok dropsite as well as Hels Highway and the Batraxian Barrier with the gigantic weapons battery called Lethal Lucy, actual registration number SSB-1776. Also, part of the Hemlock Cordon is located to the north east, containing many Imperial forces after the fall of Hive Acheron. Also, to the north west is the Stygies bridge, crossing the River Stygies.{{citethis}}
===[[Hive Infernus]]===The '''Hive Infernus''' region is dominated by two mountain ranges, the [[Palidus Mountains]] and the [[Diablo Mountains]], with [[Ork Mountain]] located at the peak of the Diablo Mountains. Hive Infernus is located at the centre of the region and is linked with the motorway and Stygies Bridge to the Hive Helsreach area. The Diablos Forge Complex, located to the east of the Hive, saw the first action with the Orks and was the site of a battle between the Orks and the [[Legio Crucius]]. 6 Titans and 8 Gargants were destroyed, but in the process practically destroying the entire Forge Complex. Diabolus Cove has become the centre of Ork fighting to prevent resources from reaching the Hive and as such many gigatankers have been destroyed in the process. The Equatorial Jungle to the west is met by a large area of Ash Wastes from the nearby factories and is very close to the Krynnan Canal which allows ships to move between the Boiling Sea and Tempest Ocean without having to sail all around the western end of the main Armageddon landmass. To the south is the Infernus South Forge Complex which produces many [[Chimera]]s and vast amount of ordnance for the defenders of Hive Infernus. The Stygian Bulwark is located to the east of the Infernus South Forge Complex and is there to protect it from the Orks hiding in the Palidus Mountains, with huge areas of fortifications and bombardment points spread along its length.{{Fn|67}}
===[[Hades Hive]]===
===[[Phoenix Island]]===
'''Phoenix Island''' is an island located in the Boiling Sea south of the Fire Wastes and north of Armageddon Secundus.{{Fn|4}} It has two large docks known as [[Jabiru Quay]] and [[Ibis Reef Harbour]] as well as [[Victorinius Spaceport]], used to house [[Thunderbolt]]s and Furies.{{Fn|78}}
The main mine is known as the [[Nadala Gorge Ore Mine]] and is vital for the operation of Armageddon. Ancient machinery works in toxic conditions as the mine has been in operation for thousands of years. The Ore Produce is then shipped to the [[Valkyrie Bay Refinery]] which produces the chemicals and materials required for continuing the war on Armageddon. These are then shipped to the [[Phoenix Island Mineral Storage Facility]] in the south east of the island. The produce is then shipped on to either the Jabiru Quay docks or the Ibis Reef Harbour for shipping to the rest of Armageddon.{{Fn|78}}
In addition to its role as a naval hangar, Victorinius Spaceport is a stronghold against the Ork forces. It is not the only way off of the island, however. To the north east is the [[Heliopolis Bridge]], a vital connection to the north which leads into the Fire Wastes. Unfortunately Ork Roks landed directly in the path of this bridge and blockaded it, preventing land forces from accessing the island, completely cutting it off from land support.{{Fn|78}}
