THE WORLD OF ARMAGEDDON Located ten thousand light years to the galactic northeast of Holy Terra , the world of Armageddon is the fourth in its system of ten planets, is classified as a Hive World of the Imperium , and is the industrial hub of both the Armageddon sub-sector and the greater region. Many worlds within a several light-year radius of Armageddon rely on the world for its industrial output. Hundreds of centuries of industry has reduced the world to barren wastelands and polluted oceans; humans can only survive within the artificial environment of the hive cities (massive Arcology -like structures that stand several kilometres tall) and Imperial facilities. Food must be imported from off-planet, and clean air and water are precious commodities. Because of the inhospitable conditions outside of the hive cities, almost all regiments of the Armageddon Steel Legion are trained as mechanised infantry. Landmasses There are three main landmasses on Armageddon. Most human life is located on the main continent, which is split into two parts, Armageddon Prime and Armageddon Secondus, by the thick band of jungle known simply as the Equatorial Jungle. The bulk of Armageddon Prime and Secondus is covered in ash wastes, aftereffects of millennia of industrialisation. Several hive cities house the population and industry of Armageddon; Tempestora, Death Mire and Volcanus on Prime, Infernus, Hades, Acheron, Helsreach and Tartarus on Secondus. To the north of Armageddon Prime and Secondus are The Fire Wastes, which is home to the mining and resource gathering industries that support the industrial factories. This is an extremely arid region, which has been strip-mined far beyond the point of any sustainable ecosystem. To the south is the ice-covered Deadlands. The polluted ice is melted and heavily purified to provide a source of drinking water to the inhabitants of the hive cities. FIRST WAR FOR ARMAGEDDON
