'''Elysium IX''' (sometimes known simply as '''Elysium'''{{Fn|2}}) was once the [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|Homeworld]] of the [[Celestial Lions]] [[Chapter]]{{Fn|2}} and was among the [[Imperial]] worlds located in [[Elara's Veil]].{{Fn|1a}} However, sometime after the [[Great Rift]]'s creation, it became one of the many worlds that fell to the [[Exilarchy]] [[Chaos]] Warhost, after they invaded the Veil.{{Fn|1b}}
Before Elysium was invaded, though, the Lions' [[Chapter Master]], [[Ekene Dubaku]], put into motion a plan to evacuate its population before the Exilarchy arrived. He knew it would be impossible to save the entire population, but Dubaku hoped that enough would survive to help both his Chapter and the spirit of Elysium live on.{{Fn|1a}} The current fate of the world's surviving population is unknown{{Fn|1b}}, but Dubaku had drafted a message asking the [[Emperor's Spears]]' Chapter Master, [[Arucatas]], if they could be relocated to his Homeworld, [[Nemeton]].{{Fn|1a}}
==Geography==
Prior to the invasion by the Exilarchy, Elysium IX was described as a world with abundant jungles and savannah. The inhabitants were renowned hunters as a result of their world's terrain.{{Fn|2}}
