Changes

During the [[Horus Heresy]] Jupiter was the center of [[Rogal Dorn]]'s third defensive sphere under the command of [[Imperial Fists]] Captain [[Efried]]. In the later stages of the [[Solar War]], the massive array of moons and orbital habitations of Jupiter were captured by [[Iron Warriors]] forces led by [[Perturabo]]. Instead of reducing every pocket of loyalist resistance or wasting his time during his drive to Terra to occupy the many habitation zones around Jupiter, Perturabo instead unleashed fleets of [[Pirate]]s, traitor [[Imperial Army]], [[Night Lords]], and [[Emperor's Children]] to terrorize and subdue the region.{{Fn|5a}} Jupiter was subsequently reclaimed by the Imperium during the [[Great Scouring]] after the traitor defeat in the [[Siege of Terra]].{{Fn|6}}

==Overview==

*'''Saros Station''' : This space station in orbit around Jupiter resembled a vast spindle bathing in crimson glow which made it appear as if it were crystal chandelier that had been severed from its mounting and thus cast free into the void. Unlike the majority of the gas giant's industrial and colonial cohorts, the station had been a resort platform before the Horus Heresy, where the Jovian elite found respite as well as diversion from the works of the shipyards and manufactories. It was said that only the Venus orbitals could surpass Saros Station in luxury with its avenues of gold and silver, null-gardens, auditoriums along with the finest opera houses outside the [[Imperial Palace]].{{Fn|1a}}

*'''Kadal''': Satellite munitions fortress. It was the site of an [[Alpha Legion]]-instigated anti-Imperial revolt during the [[Horus Heresy]]. Subsequently destroyed during the [[Solar War]].{{Fn|3b}}
