[[Image:ArgovonMap.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The {{PAGENAME}}{{Fn|2}}]]The '''Argovon System''' is located within the [[Nephilim Sector]] and was discovered by the .{{Fn|1}} ==History==The Argovon System has been in Imperial records for at laest 8,000 years. Local myth talks of a great hero called [[Rogue TraderForonika Argovon]] , a [[Foronika ArgovonRogue Trader]]who discovered the system. Though hailed and glorified in the Imperial records, some 8,000 years agoit is likely she was instead from a long-disgraced and heavily impoverished Rogue Trader Household. By sheer fortune she happened across the region and its enormous material wealth.{{Fn|12}}
During [[M42]], it was invaded by the [[Necron]] and became a part of the [[Pariah Nexus]], after they built a network of [[Blackstone|Noctilith]] [[Pylon]]s within it. The [[System]] later was the site of a [[Argovon Campaign|battle]] between the [[Xenos]] and the [[Indomitus Crusade]]'s [[Battle Group Kallides]], who sought to reclaim its worlds.{{Fn|1}}
==Known Worlds==
*[[Argolish]]- [[Ecclesiarchy]] [[Shrine World]] and System Capital. It is home to colossal basillicas cathedrals, and chapels. Even basic structures have been directly dedicated and modified into places of worship for the Emperor. Here are the malevolent effects of "The Stilling" the weakest.{{Fn|12}}*[[Argovon (World)|Argovon]] - personally named by the [[Rogue Trader]] [[Foronika Argovon]] and contains enormous mineral wealth.{{Fn|1}} It is home to a man-made fault line through the middle of the planet known as New Argovon's Fault, or Goria's Fault. The surrounding region is beset by serious earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity.{{Fn|2}}*[[Foronika]]- [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] mining world. The most sparsely populated world rich in [[Blackstone]] deposits, it saw some of the heaviest fighting in the Argovon Campaign.{{Fn|12}}*[[Hishrea]]- Furthest world from the system's star. It is an [[Ice World]] of never-ending winter, tundras, dark seas, and hyperactive volcanoes. The majority of its population are nomads, following megashoals of helikoprioids over the seas on large hunting vessels. Most of the remainder live in [[Hive]] cities thqat sit atop the world's thermal vents, suffering a life of severe harshness at the hands of gas mine work or guarding against [[Frostwyrm]] incursions. Due to a [[Missionary]] presence the population is nonetheless hardy, strong-willed, and faithful.{{Fn|12}}*[[Iaso]]- Failing [[Agri-World]]. At the time of the Necron invasion its production was 10% of what it was 40 years prior. The cause for this is mysterious, and three consecutive [[Governor]]s were executed for their inability to rectify it.{{Fn|12}}*[[Sarronik]]- Strange world of poor nomads at the mercies of vicious predators. However part of it has been designed as a luxurious destination for the rich, creating vast social inequality.{{Fn|12}}
