Birmingham

Birmingham, also known as the Black Planet, is an Imperial Feral World in Segmentum Tempestus. As of 998.M41, its regimental tithe to the Astra Militarum fitted in the 10,000,000 to 5,000,000 draft range.

History
In 849.M41, a Dark Eldar raiding force attacked several outposts on Birmingham, causing the Imperium to lose all contact with the planet. Subsequent investigations discovered who was responsible.

By 998.M41, Birmingham had recovered enough to recruit small numbers of troops into the Imperial Guard.
