==Trivia=={{Trivia}}*The Medusa System was the setting of the 2006 [[Summer campaign|global campaign]], [[The Fall of Medusa V]]. ===Notes===*'''{{Endn|Note 1'''. }}: In [[The Fall of Medusa V (booklet)]] , it is stated that 'The Warp storm will destroy the world, if the Emperor’s many enemies do not.' However, there is no clear evidence as to whether this world was destroyed or some other fate awaited it.{{Fn|1b}}*'''{{Endn|Note 2 '''. }}: Though nowhere directly stated about the location of the systemis not directly stated anywhere, in the [[Codex: Chaos Daemons (8th Edition)|8th edition Chaos Daemons codex]] the [[Warp Storm]] [[Van Grothe's Rapidity]] is located in the [[Ultima Segmentum]], so it may be extrapolated that [[Medusa V]] and '''Medusa system''' are also located in this segmentum.{{Fn|2}}
