Kar Duniash is an Imperial world that serves as the Segmentum Fortress of the Ultima Segmentum.
Kar Duniash is the home to an academy for the training of new officers of the Navis Imperialis and its orbital shipyard is the primary coonstruction site for all new Dominator-class Cruisers.
In the Era Indomitus, after the resurrection of Primarch Roboute Guilliman and the birth of the Great Rift, Kar Duniash is one of the worlds that now lies in the Imperium Nihilus, beyond the light of the Astronomican.
It is also unfortunately very close to the area of operations of the T'au Empire's Fifth Sphere Expansion. It was in part to protect the Warp routes to Kar Duniash from the T'au that Imperial forces have engaged in the Chalnath Expanse Campaign.
Trivia[]
Kar Duniash may derive its name from Karduniash, an ancient Kassite term for Babylon.
