Magog was a binary pulsar system, with a radiation swept storm zone.{{Fn|2a}} It had only one inhabitable planet, also called [[Magog (Planet)|Magog]].{{Fn|1a}}
==History==
During the [[Achilus Crusade]], the Magog System was extensively defended by [[Chaos]] forces. It was considered virtually impenetrable by Imperial forces without drawing Chaos forces away from the System, or substantially increasing the manpower and resources of the [[Acheros Salient]]. Very few of the Imperial craft sent to scout it returned, a result of both the area's Warp instability, and the dark fleets reported by those that returned.{{Fn|1a}} There were numerous reports of [[Chaos Space Marine]]s active in, or moving towards the Magog System.{{Fn|1a}} One of the two [[Word Bearers]] [[Host]]s in the [[Jericho Reach]] during the Crusade was identified by the presence of their [[Desolator Battleship]] ''[[Dark Chorus]]'' in the Magog System.{{Fn|1d}} [[Chaos Space Marine]] vessels bearing the markings of the warband [[The Pyre]] were also seen in the Magog and [[Vanity System|Vanity]] Systems, along with [[Space Marine Company|Company]] sized deployments of Pyre forces. Their vessels may have been shared with their allies.{{Fn|1e}} A group from the [[Knights of Blood (Chapter)|Knights of Blood]] operated on the outskirts of the Magog System during the Achilus Crusade. [[Imperial]] forces incorrectly reported them as a [[Traitor Legion]] force, and a [[Deathwatch]] [[killKill-teamTeam]] was despatched to intercept. They arrived at the Magog System, and identified the group as being the Knights of Blood, but before they could decide how to respond, a nearby Imperial outpost was attacked by Chaos forces, and the Knights of Blood went to aid the Imperial forces.{{Fn|3}}
