++Thought for the Day: A mind without purpose will wander in dark places.++
Icelus is a Hive World within the Segmentum Tempestus, an arid desert of ash and ruin, its natural beauty destroyed by the fires of industry long ago. The world plays host to five mighty hives, each a home to many billions of souls and belching thick plumes of smoke into the atmosphere as it produces vast quantities of military equipment in a vein attempt to assuage the boundless hunger of the Imperium. The people of Icelus are influenced strongly by the stewardship of the Emperor's Nightmare, the livery of the Chapter's 2nd through fifth companies are taken as the royal colours and the uniform of the Planetary Defence Force.
