Chaeros, unofficially called New Cadia, was an Industrial World that was the seventh planet of the Agripinaa System in the Agripinaa Sector of the Segmentum Obscurus. It provided auxiliary industrial production for the Forge World of Agripinaa that was also located in the system.
Chaeros was invaded by Abaddon the Despoiler's forces during the 13th Black Crusade. The remnants of the Imperial Navy's Battlefleet Cadia and the Cadian Shock Troops regiments of the Astra Militarum that escaped the Fall of Cadia under the command of Admiral d'Armitage and General Maximus Octavian Grüber III, respectively, would later arrive in the Agripinaa System and clear it of the Chaos fleets and planetary assault forces following the Battle of Faith's Anchorage.
Among them was General Isaia Bendikt of the Astra Militarum. Once the system was cleansed of the presence of the servants of the Ruinous Powers, he declared Chaeros was to be renamed "New Cadia" and serve as a new homeworld for all Cadian survivors. However, it is not known if the Imperium officially accepted his renaming of the world.
