{{citeGalaxyPortal}}{{WIP}}The '''Medusa systemSystem''' is a [[System|star system]] of [[Imperial]] space{{Fn|1a}}, located in the [[Ultima Segmentum]] {{Cite this}} and is an Imperial held system, but is also the heart of the 2006 global campaign. The system is made up of the following planets.{{Fn|1a}}

==Other objects and phenomenon=Medusa IV===[[Medusa IVVan Grothe's Rapidity]] was once ==Not technically part of the primary planet in the Medusa system, however after the Rapidity is the reason for the settling and creation of the Medusa Schism (see below), V situation. It is expanding rapidly and threatens to engulf a large area of the region. It also has the name of Hell's Slingshot due to the ability to sling shot ships through it in order to gain vast speeds and reduce travel times. It was purged through originally found in 241.[[ExterminatusM37]] and is now completely barren. Before its destruction, it was roughly equivalent to by [[TerraCarral Van Grothe]] conditions, with an orbital distance of 1who went on to found the Medusa colonies.12AUOriginally its status was Stable and Threat level Not-Classified, a gravity of 1.09G but has recently changed to status Unstable - Malefic Ultra and an average temperature of 13 degrees CelsiusThreat level Omega due to the recent growth. It is now classed as Dead/Exterminatus and a tithe grade of Adeptus None, population n/asaid to destroy Medusa V within weeks or months.

===Medusa V===*[[Medusa VChigrin 1]] - is the centre one of the three Crimeon Class Space Dock in orbit above Medusa system since the Medusa Schism (see [[Medusa system#Medusa Schism|Medusa system]]) V. It has 2,922 Adeptus Mechanicus personnel and is a mining world and staging post for many space craftaround 5, be they 000 Imperial Navy, Explorator fleets or [[Rogue Trader]]ssecurity personnel. It has an orbital distance armament of 1.41AUlaser defence batteries and 16 torpedo tubes, gravity of 1.12G and an average temperature of is defended by a Class 9 degrees CelsiusVoid Shield. It has is enhanced by the presence of a tithe grade Philemon Pardox class enhanced auspex array, allowing detailed scans of Exactus Tertius and has three orbital space docks, one named Chigrin 1 (and presumably the other two being Chigrin 2 and Chigrin 3). It has a population vast area of roughly 4,500,000,000space.{{Fn|1b}}

====Chigrin 1==Sources=='''Chigrin *1''' is one of three Crimeon Class Space Dock in orbit above Medusa V. It has 2,922 Adeptus Mechanicus personnel and around 5,000 Imperial Navy security personnel. It has an armament of laser defence batteries and 16 torpedo tubes, and is defended by a Class 9 Void Shield. It is enhanced by the presence of a Philemon Pardox class enhanced auspex array, allowing detailed scans of a vast area of space. ===Medusa VII==='''Medusa VII''' is a : [[Dead World]] with an Ordo Xenos quarantine placed over it for unusual Necrontyr activity. It is believed to be a Necrontyr home world and surface surveys have been need impossible. All life on the planet has been destroyed and by the way the planet has weather, it is guessed to have happened hundreds of thousands of years ago. A strange energy spike was picked up from Medusa VII along with two on Medusa V itself, possibly the indication of some form of Necrontyr teleportation system. It has an orbital distance of 19.18AU, gravity of 1.216G and an average temperature of n/a. It seems to be missing a large chunk of land, vastly reducing its land mass and subsequently its gravity. ===Medusa VIII==='''Medusa VIII''' is a gas giant which was postulated to contain resources which could be harvested from its atmosphere. Research vessels sent to investigate have disappeared in dubious circumstances and Fleet command have recommended the abandonment of investigations, simply to preserve their ships. It has an orbital distance of 24.98AU, gravity of 2.5G and an average temperature of n/a. ==Van Grothe's Rapidity==Not technically part The Fall of the system, the Rapidity is the reason for the settling and creation of the Medusa V situation. It is expanding rapidly and threatens to engulf a large area of the region. It also has the name of Hell's Slingshot due to the ability to sling shot ships through it in order to gain vast speeds and reduce travel times. It was originally found in 241.[[M37(booklet)]] by [[Carral Van Grothe]] who went on to found the Medusa colonies**{{Endn|1a}}: pgs. Originally its status was Stable and Threat level Not6-Classified, but has recently changed to status Unstable - Malefic Ultra and Threat level Omega due to the recent growth. It is said to destroy Medusa V within weeks or months.7

==History=====Medusa IV===Medusa IV was originally the first planet to be colonised, and as such was the most important. It was a massive mining and supply operation in an ideal place to help traders and other ships resupply before trying to sling shot through the nearby warp storm, Van Grothe's Rapidity. It was first investigated by the [[Iron HandsCategory:Planetary Systems]] and as such this is where the name came from, the home of the Iron Hands. Great cities were built within months and civilians arrived by the millions. Then came the Medusa Schism and the planet was scoured in [[ExterminatusCategory:Ultima Segmentum]].
