'''Masali''' is an arid [[Desert World]] converted to an [[Agri World]], and part of the stellar realm of [[Ultramar]] in the [[Ultima Segmentum]].{{Fn|1}}
==Overview==
Like its sister planets [[Quintarn]] and [[Tarentus]] (known collectively as the "[[Three Planets]]" of Ultramar), it is covered in vast domed horticultural cities and water traps to capture the water needed to grow vast quantities of food.{{Cite this}} The food produced by these planets is exported around the galaxy, and also used to support the Ultramarines in their campaigns.{{Cite This}}
==History==
The Three Planets were each invaded by [[Ork]] scavengers just after the [[Battle of Macragge]] and [[Marneus Calgar]] led the [[Ultramarines]] to reconquer them.{{Cite This}}
Masali, like many of the worlds in Ultramar, suffers from recurrent resurgences of [[Tyranid]]s in the wake of [[Behemoth|Hive Fleet Behemoth's]] destruction in the [[First Tyrannic War]].{{Fn|3}}
==Geography==
Unusually for [[agri-worlds]], '''Masali''' and its sister planets were originally covered in rocky desert terrain. Crops were typically grown within massive agri-domes, cities in their own rights with habitation and other facilities for the population.{{Fn|6}}
During calamity of the [[Noctis Aeterna]], '''Masali''' was slightly displaced from its orbital track due to empyric forces. This resulted in huge storms that destroyed much of the planet's civilisation, leading to an evacuation of the surviving population.{{Fn|6}}
