'''Valhalla''' is an [[Imperial]] [[ice world]] classified as a [[Civilised World]]{{Fn|27}}, famous as the home world of the [[Valhallan Ice Warriors]] [[regiment]]s of the [[Imperial Guard]].{{Fn|8a}}
===War of Survival===
*{{main|War of Survival}}
The [[War of Survival]] was a major event in Valhallan history, fought against the [[Ork]]s at a time of severe food shortages.{{Fn|53}} Ever since then, the Valhallans, particularly their sons and daughters enlisted in the [[Imperial Guard]], have hated the Orks more than any other [[xenos]] race, and become especially adept at fighting them on other worlds throughout the Imperium.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|8a}}
===Later History===
===Dark Imperium===
Following the resurrection of [[Roboute Guilliman]] and the formation of the [[Great Rift]], Valhalla was one of the worlds which became stranded in the [[Dark Imperium]].{{Fn|79}}
==Geography==
After the impact of the comet, the planet's surviving population built vast subterranean cities that the Valhallans continue living in to this day, since the sub-freezing temperatures on the surface of the planet make it uninhabitable.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|8a}}
Some of the cities on Valhalla are large enough to be classed as [[hive]]s.{{Fn|2}}
