The [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|homeworld]] of the Blood Angels is the planet [[Baal]] and its two moons, [[Baal Primus]] and [[Baal Secundus]], from which the Blood Angels take their new recruits. The Blood Angels' [[Primarch]], [[Sanguinius]], fell upon Baal Secundus after he and his brother Primarchs were scattered across the galaxy.{{Fn|4c}}
In ancient days Baal and its moons had Terra-like atmospheres. Baal itself was always a world of red rust deserts, but its moons were close to paradises. As the [[Dark Age of Technology]] ended in the [[Age of Strife]], civil war erupted between the world and its colonised moons, leading to the nuclear devastation of the planetary system. Baal Secundus has since been a nuclear-blasted desert world with deadly levels of radiation. This forced the world's human tribes to build cumbersome radiation suits in order to survive. Mutants were once rife upon the world, frequently at war with the remaining pure humans for dominance of the planet.{{Fn|4c}}
