==Overview==
Consisting of nine worlds which orbit around the angry star [[Sthenelus (Star)|Sthenelus]], most of the System is inimical to life and sparsely populated by elements of the Iron Hands or [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. It is thought that a debris belt located between the orbits of [[Raeon]] and [[Thennos]] are the remains of an unnamed planet destroyed during the [[Age of Strife]] by unknown means. However, speculation by the [[Ordo Astra]] theorizes that the system may once have been the site of a clash between the [[Necron]]s and their [[Old Ones|ancient foes]]. This hypothesis goes on to say that that not only the dust belt, but possibly what are now the dead worlds of [[Thoosa]] and [[Graea]], are fragmented remains of prosperous planets destroyed in that conflict. While there still is no concrete proof for this theory, Medusan folklore might indicate a lingering Necron presence on Medusa itself as late as the Age of Strife.{{Fn|1}}
