Veridia Forge was an asteroid world in the Veridia System.^[1]

Overview

The main remnant of a planet that orbited the system beyond the circuit of Calth's moons, Veridia Forge was the size of a major satellite.^[2]

History

Originally called Alamasta, it was a semi-autonomous Mechanicum-oathed sub-domain, dominating manufacture across six systems.^[1]

During the opening stages of the Battle of Calth in 007.M31, Veridia Forge was targeted by the system's weapons grid under control of the traitor Word Bearers. The sustained bombardment resulted in the station being annihilated, illuminating Calth with the brightness of a second sun for 18 minutes.^{[2][Conflicting sources]}
