===[[Hive Death Mire]]===
'''Hive Death Mire''' is in the northern-central area of the region.{{Fn|2c}} The most prominent nearby features are the Equatorial Jungle in the south east, [[Hecate Mountains]] in the north and Death Ridge in the south, where the Orks can link with the Feral Orks from the Equatorial Jungle and launch assaults on the actual hive. There are two Ork Rok drop sites far to the west, the Phlegthon Bridge also to the west and River Insane tunnel in the centre of the region as well as a motorway running throughout. In the Hecate Mountains is the Eyes of the Emperor Observatory, watching over vast area of Armageddon Prime for Ork troop movements, providing vital intelligence. It was critical in the destruction of the Blackfire Tribe by seeing Ork mobilisation in the Plains of Anthrand. Mire Anchorage is now one of the only deep water areas available for the gigantic gigatankers to arrive with the loss of the Hive Helsreach ports and the heavy fighting around the Diabolus Cove, although it is badly infested by Orks. It is defended by the [[Storm Lords]] [[Space Marines]] and the [[Armageddon Ork Hunters]]. Finally, the vast Tempestor Victorum Line guards a large area from the Hecate Mountains to the Equatorial Jungle to protect the south and west flanks of Hive Death Mire. It takes its name from the two groups of Titans stationed there, Legio Tempestor and Legio Victorum, which have both pounded the Orks with unrelenting fire with the many bunkers and siege positions.{{citethis}}
 
==[[Armageddon Secundus]]==
===[[Hive Tartarus]]===
'''Hive Tartarus''' is in the south east of Armageddon Secundus{{Fn|2c}} and the Hive itself is at the centre, surrounded and besieged constantly with little hope of survival. The Tartarus West Factory, Hemlock Factory Complex and Skelitus Factory Complex contribute to the Ash Wastes to the east and one Ork Rok overlooks the entire area to the north east. There is one motor way north to Hive Acheron and one pipeline south to the Deadlands to bring fresh water to the Hive. The Hemlock Cordon is also partially in this area, where survivors from Hive Acheron have grouped. Clain's Stronghold was formed when units of defenders marched to Hive Infernus but were quickly stopped by an Ork force and forced to build defenses in the area and are constantly pounded.{{citethis}}
 
==The Equatorial Jungle==
Far to the south is [[Angron's Monolith]] which has diseased the surrounding area and is now off limits.{{Fn|3}} Somehow it has resisted destruction. It appears to be somehow linked to the warp, maybe a warp portal for Daemon Assaults but this is unknown. Finally, to the far south east are the Plague Marshes where Feral Orks thrive. Unfortunately, hundreds of Guardsmen die of plague and disease caused by the giant insects, preventing effective sweeps of the area even though each guardsman is given drugs to counter the plagues.{{citethis}}
 
==The [[Boiling Sea]]==
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|8}}
 
==The [[Tempest Ocean]]==
The ocean boasted a number of offshore oil-rigs known as the [[Valdez Oil Platforms]], located somewhere due south of Hive Helsreach. The platforms were attacked and destroyed by the [[ork]]s during the [[Third War for Armageddon]].{{Fn|1c}}
