Editing Venus (section)

==Warhammer 40,000==
Since we are in [[Grimdark]], there's no 'Second Earth' hippie bullshit here. At least, not in the Age of the Imperium - the [[Dark Age of Technology]] may have seen an ''actual'' verdant Venus instead of one we just know is habitable. Kinda familiar sounding to [[/v/|Destiny]] (having its own Venus being a terraformed paradise that gets turned unsafe by some cataclysm), though both are ripping off much older sci-fi stories.

Before the age of the Imperium, the only history we know of Venus is that it was once ruled by War Witches who fielded armies of Litho-Gholem. The early [[Iron Warriors]] Space Marine Legion led the conquest of Venus during the Mehr Yasht campaign.

In the grim darkness of the 41st milennium, Venus lives a double life - an Industrial World on the surface, the planet itself is not much of note besides its identity. However, it is also host to the finest luxury orbitals in the entire Galaxy, and is essentially ''the'' summer getaway for the top dogs of the Imperial hierarchy living in the deep cloud-hives of the planet. Emperor knows how much [[Slaanesh]]i corruption has weasled its way into these hubs of hedonism. In that sense, it can also be considered an arechetypal [[Imperial Worlds#Pleasure Worlds|Pleasure World]], though unlike most the pleasure is most certainly not to be found on the surface of the world.
