Medusa V

Medusa V is a world close to a warp phenomena known as Van Grothe's Rapidity, better known as Hell's Slingshot for the way Imperial ships have used it to drastically increase the speed of their transit through the area. As of late, however, the Rapidity has vastly increased in size and intensity, and will soon envelop the entire system. However, even though the fate of the planet is sealed, it has become a major battlefield, as every major faction of the Eastern Fringe, from the Imperium and Chaos to the Tau and the Necrons, has found a stake in the planet's approaching destruction.

The Imperial forces, Guardsman and Space Marine alike, sent to the planet were victorious in their efforts to evacuate the population of the planet before it fell. Sicarius, captain of the Second Company of Ultramarines fought there to track down a daemon of Nurgle, while members of the Tyranid Veterans were sent to hunt down a Lictor subspecies and prevent them from getting back to the Hive.

Additonal After heroic fighting on the planet, the warp storm overcame it. By the efforts of the Imperial Guard and Space Marines the planet was saved from eternal damnation at the hands of Chaos.
