Nurth

Fig. 1 · Location on the map

Nurth is a lost human colony, a desert world with an artificial harbour, Mon Lo, a legacy of vanished xenos. Having rejected the Imperium, the Nurthenes waged a long war with warp-sorcery, and on the brink of defeat activated the xenos Black Cube and themselves turned the planet into a lifeless dead world. The setting of the novel “Legion”; the segmentum is not given in the canon.
