Fenris System



The Fenris System is an Imperial star system within the Segmentum Obscurus governed by the Space Wolves. The heart of the system is a blue star named The Wolf's Eye.

Notable Campaigns

 * The Primarch Departs (211.M31) - During the 197th Feast of the Emperor’s Ascension on Fenris, Leman Russ gathers his closest retainers and departs for the Eye of Terror without explanation.
 * The Battle for the Fang (742.M32) - Magnus the Red appears to Great Wolf Harek Ironhelm in a series of visions. Haunted by his dreams, Ironhelm becomes increasingly determined to bring the Thousand Sons to battle and finish what the Space Wolves started at Prospero more than a thousand years ago. After receiving word that the traitors are massing on the world of Gangava, Ironhelm launches a full attack without hesitation, leading eleven entire Great Companies into battle. Having laid his plans over hundreds of years, Magnus the Red arrives on Fenris with the remaining fighting strength of his Legion. Only a single Great Company remains to defend the Fang, and Bjorn the Fell-Handed is roused from his slumber to lead a guerilla campaign against the traitor forces. The Thousand Sons breach the great gate of the Fang, but not before the Wolf Scout Haakon Blackwing escapes the siege to bring word to the rest of the Chapter. The Space Wolves return in force to drive their hated enemies from their home world. Harek Ironhelm faces Magnus in personal combat, but is struck down before mighty Bjorn banishes the Primarch in turn.
 * The Plague of Unbelief (310-334.M36) - Having gathered a vast army of deluded zealots to his cause, the Apostate Cardinal, Bucharis of Gathalamor, leads his unholy crusade towards Terra. After spending many years carving a path across the galaxy, Bucharis lays siege to the Space Wolves’ home world in order to secure a safe route towards the heart of the Imperium. Bucharis is confident that the seemingly inexhaustible forces at his disposal will soon secure him victory. He is mistaken. After a gruelling three-year siege in which the renegade forces suffer massive losses, Wolf Lord Kyrl Grimblood returns to Fenris following the conclusion of his campaign in the Eye of Terror and smashes into the rear of the traitor lines. Caught between the impenetrable defences of the Fang and Grimblood’s fleet, Bucharis’ armada is forced to withdraw from Fenris, abandoning a large part of their fighting strength to their fate.
 * The Ecclesiarchy comes to Fenris (886.M41) - A delegation of Ecclesiarchy officials approaches Fenris, intending to assess the Space Wolves after hearing rumours of their worship of false gods. Logan Grimnar refuses to meet their demands when they command him to open the gates of the Fang and undergo interrogation. Foolishly, the Ecclesiarchy decide to press the matter and when their envoy cruiser is destroyed trying to dock with the Fang the rest of the Ministorum officials retreat, finally realising the Great Wolf is not be trifled with. However, it is not a lesson learned, and almost a year later the Ecclesiarchy and three orders of the Adepta Sororitas attempt to enter Fenrisian space in force. The resultant war lasts for three weeks before the Ecclesiarchy decides to let sleeping dogs lie and withdraws its forces.
 * Battle for Midgardia (933.M41) - A Necron fleet led by Trazyn the Infinite descends upon the world of Midgardia in the Fenris System. The Overlord seeks a shard of the C’tan Nyadra’zatha that slumbers in the core of the Fenrisian planet. Angered by the audacity of his foes, Logan Grimnar leads a huge force against the Necrons, turning the toxic jungles and subterranean cities of Midgardia into a bitter and brutal warzone.

Planets of the Fenris System

 * Fenris - Fenris is a Death World and the homeworld of the Space Wolves Chapter
 * Valdrmani - Called The Wolf Moon by the Fenrisians, it's the only moon orbiting Fenris.
 * Midgardia - Unlike the other Ice Worlds of the Fenris System, Midgardia is a Toxic Jungle World. Because of the unnatural warm core of the planet, caused by the C'tan Shard of Nyadra’zatha, the planet provided an ideal climate for a jungle to cover the majority of the planet surface. The jungle produces toxic gasses to deadly to inhale, forcing humans to live underground. Pallid skinned humans carved their settlements from the roots from the jungle above, often hanging over the magma sea below. From the jungle roots, rich nutrients in the form of viscous strands of reddish pulp are extracted, which are used in the manufacturing of medicines. Dominating the northern polar cap is the Emperor's Judgement, a Nova Cannon array that, like Nova Cannons on cruisers, has four interlinked barrels.
 * Frostheim - An Ice World that is inhabited by humans like Fenris and Midgardia.
 * Svellgard - The only moon orbiting Frostheim.
