Elara's Veil - Notable Worlds: Nemeton (Space Marine Chapter Homeworld/Ocean World/Feral World) - Nemeton is a world in the Ophion System or the Avalon System (accounts differ on the name) of the Annwyn Reaches sub-sector, covered in enormous oceans, with small forested and mountainous landmasses scattered in between. The Emperor's Spears Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes has claimed Nemetom as its Chapter planet. Rainfall is common, and a temperate to nearly tropical temperature is maintained across the planet's entire surface. Rain is viewed by the pre-industrial Human population as a manifestation of the Emperor's sorrow over his lost bride Elara, for whom the nebula surrounding the system is named. A well-defended world, a large orbital minefield protects approaches to the planet, while many of the rocks and fragments of ice that make up Nemeton's rings have been turned into weapons platforms capable of bombarding attackers with waves of deadly torpedoes. Further defences come from the tech-priests of Bellona, a Forge Moon in the same system. The Emperor's Spears have formed close links with the Adeptus Mechanicus sect on Bellona, and together the have long defended Elara's Veil.Bellona (Forge Moon) - Bellona is a Forge Moon of the Adeptus Mechanicus, which orbits the world of Nemeton, Chapter planet of the Emperor's Spears. It was originally colonised many Terran millennia ago by fleets from the Forge World of Incaladion. The tech-priests of Bellona have a mutual defence pact with the Emperor's Spears Chapter, who dwell on Nemeton. The moon supports a large orbital shipyard. The primitive, pre-industrial tribes of Nemeton believe that Bellona is the eye of the Emperor.Khamun-Sen (Space Marine Chapter Homeworld) (Destroyed) - Khamun-Sen is an Imperial world within Elara's Veil that was once the Chapter planet of the Star Scorpions Chapter, until that Chapter was lost in the Warp. After the surviving Star Scorpions reemerged into realspace as the corrupted Heretic Astartes warband called The Pure, the Emperor's Spears and Celestial Lions enacted an Exterminatus action upon Khamun-Sen, purging the planet of its Chaos taint but killing all 3 billion of its inhabitants.Elysium IX (Space Marine Chapter Homeworld) (Destroyed) - Elysium IX was once the Chapter planet of the Celestial Lions Chapter and was among the Imperial worlds located in Elara's Veil. However, sometime after the Great Rift's creation, it became one of the many worlds that fell to the Chaos warband called the Exilarchy, after the Heretic Astartes known as The Pure, the surviving members of the Star Scorpions Chapter, invaded Elara's Veil after returning to realspace from being lost in the Warp. Before Elysium was invaded, the Celestial Lions' Chapter Master, Ekene Dubaku, put into motion a plan to evacuate its population before the forces of the Exilarchy arrived. Dubaku knew it would be impossible to save the planet's entire population, but he hoped that enough of his people would survive to help both his Chapter and the spirit of Elysium live on. The current fate of the world's surviving population is unknown, but Dubaku drafted a message asking the Emperor's Spears' Chapter Master, Arucatas, if they could be relocated to his homeworld, Nemeton.Kouris
