==Known Worlds==
*[[Heliodor-II]] - [[Shrine World]] dedicated to Saint Basilus, who sacrificed his own life to protect the priceless treasures of the Grand Archives during a devastating Tyranid invasion. Within the labyrinthine tunnels of the capital there is a seperate, city-sized section that belongs to the [[Holy Ordos]].{{Fn|1a}}
*[[Kobalt]] - [[Quarantined World]] that was once under the jurisdiction of Forge World Thule. The harsh climate and the huge deserts made it an ideal planet for the Adeptus Mechanicus to test their various engines of war. During the attack of the [[Tyranid ]] [[Hive Fleet Garm]] [[Garmr]], the Cult Mechanicus launched their devastating counter-attacks without proper coordination, eventually burning the planet to cinders. {{Fn|1b}}
*[[Kosmas Maior]] - [[Death World]] with a population of 117 million. The strategic promethium fields and refineries located on the largest continent were attacked numerous times by the forces of [[Chaos]] after the confusion that followed the arrival of the Tyranid hive fleet. The [[Planetary Defence Force]] has so far managed to defend the key fortifications, which is of import to battlefleets operating in the subsector.{{Fn|1c}}
*[[Port Philon]] - [[Star Fort]] with a population of 460000 that is a bustling orbital dockyard under the jurisdiction of the Adeptus Mechanicus. The giant asteroid it orbits used to be a mining colony.{{Fn|1d}}
