'''Graia''' is an Imperial [[Forge World]] and home to the [[Legio Astraman]] (the "Morning Stars").{{Fn|1a}}
==Overview==

Graia, nicknamed the "Crown of Miracles",{{Fn|11c}} is the most prosperous Forge World of the [[Belt of Iron]] and much of its production is geared towards [[Titan]] engines.{{Fn|12}}
Though the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] does not make it widely known, the principle Forge networks of Graia, known as the [[Graian Crown]], is capable of independent flight. Giant fusion engines allow it to escape its host planet's gravity and move to the nearest [[Mandeville Point]], where it can then travel through the [[Warp]]. When the Crown leaves, its temples are stocked with munitions and its holding decks provisioned with volunteers. Once a suitable world has been discovered, the Crown's chorazine shunt thrusters lock it into a stationary orbit like a tick. Fleets of industrial harvesters descend, leeching the world of its assets as production continues above.{{Fn|16}} The last time Graia attempted thisto move the Graian Crowns, it was assaulted by an invasion fleet of [[Necron]] aircraft that soared up from the [[Laochan Gate]]. Though [[Imperial]] records currently claim that Graia's priesthood have returned to circumnavigate their original home world, at least one recent [[Rogue Trader]] report lists the planet's orbit as strangely empty.{{Fn|9}}
