All recent media confirms that Graia still operates; it is listed as functioning Forge World in M42 in Codex: Adeptus Mechanicus (8th Edition).

'''Graia''' is an Imperial [[Forge World]] and home to the [[Legio Astraman]].{{Fn|1a}}
Though the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] does not make it widely known, the principle Forge networks of Graia, known as the [[Graian Crown]], is capable of independent flight. Giant fusion engines allow it to escape its host planet's gravity and move to the nearest [[Mandeville Point]], where it can then travel through the [[Warp]]. The last time Graia attempted this, it was assaulted by an invasion fleet of [[Necron]] aircraft that soared up from the [[Laochan Gate]]. Though [[Imperial]] records currently claim that Graia's priesthood have returned to circumnavigate their original home world, at least one recent [[Rogue Trader]] report lists the planet's orbit as strangely empty.{{Fn|9}}
==History==
===[[M41]]===
[[Image:Graia View.jpg|thumb|230px|Graia during [[Graia Invasion|the grand invasion]] by [[Orks]] and [[Chaos]] forces{{Fn|2}}]]
*'''Late [[M41]]''' — A double attack by the [[Orks]] and [[Chaos Space Marines]] left many of its facilities in ruins. In the aftermath it was quarantined by order of [[Inquisitor]] [[Thrax]].{{Fn|2}}
*'''circa 993.[[M41]]''' — '''Graia''' is was believed to be one of the worlds attacked and consumed by [[Hive Fleet]] [[Kraken]].{{Fn|5}} However, as the Forge World continued to operate after this point, these claims appear to have been false.{{Fn|11a}}
===[[Era Indomitus]]===
* '''Early [[M42]]''' — The '''Rust Fields War''' began in the aftermath of the [[Great Rift]]'s creation, as a coalition of [[Forge World]]s led by [[Mars]] and [[Graia]] sent mining fleets to exploit the vast belt of mineral rich asteroids known as the '''Rust Fields'''. After operations began however, it was discovered that [[Ork]] clans ruled the interior of the Rust Fields and the two sides soon clash. This began a great war, that has now drawn in untold numbers of additional [[Imperium]] forces, as the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] fights to retain its foothold in the asteroid field.{{Fn|1111b}} * '''Early [[M42]]''' — Graia sent forces to fight at [[Image:GraiaSkit.jpg|thumb|right|Graian Aggamedes]] against Chaos forces in the [[SkitariiArks of Omen Campaign]].{{Fn|914}}]]
