==Overview==
Part of the [[Obolis Sub-Sector]], the Chromyd System holds great strategic significance for the nearby major [[Forge World]] of [[Metalica]] - in addition to its multiple [[Agri World|Agri-]] and [[Mining World]]s, it is one of the endpoints for [[Barlech's Channel]], a [[warp route]] that links Obolis to the [[Charus Sub-sector]].{{Fn|33a}}
==History==
In the wake of the [[Noctis Aeterna]], the [[system]] had recently been reinforced in response to raids by the [[Dark Eldar]]. However, the [[Imperium]]'s forces were stretched out over a wide area, due to the nature of the [[Xenos]]' rapid and unpredictable strikes. This left the Chromyd System vulnerable during the [[Death Guard]]'s [[Charadon Campaign]], and allowed the [[Chaos Lord]] [[Thraxoplasmox]]'s [[Chaos Warband|warhost]] to [[Chromyd Front|successfully invade]] the system.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3b}}
==Worlds==
*[[Sabhira]] — [[Death World]].{{Fn|1}}
*[[Vastrapol]] — [[Agri World]].{{Fn|1}}
*[[Torthusa]] — Agri World.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3b}}*[[Okharium]] — [[Industrial World]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3b}}
*[[Martyr's Rest]] — [[Cemetery World|Mausoleum World]].{{Fn|1}}
*[[Dyroch's Reach]] — [[Hive World]]. It is in proximity to a stable (Beta Level) [[warp route]], which leads to [[Barlech's Channel]]. The defence platforms and monitoring stations watching over the route fall under Dyroch's Reach's jurisdiction.{{Fn|1}}
{{Trivia}}
==={{Endn|Conflicting sources}}===
*The maps of the Chromyd System given in two sources ({{Fn|1}},{{Fn|2}}) are very different to each other. Notably, the second of these lists a number of planets that other sources give as being in the [[Alumax System]].{{Fn|3b}} It is therefore likely that the map in [[White Dwarf 461]] is mislabelled as Chromyd and in fact is meant to be labelled as Alumax.
