Ventrillia is a wealthy Mining World on the edge of Imperial space in the Eastern Fringe. It is the homeworld of the Ventrillian Nobles Militarum Regimentum of the Astra Militarum.
On the wealthy jewel world of Ventrillia those that withstand the subterranean coming-of-age ritual known as the "Trial of the Lava Lakes" enjoy a wealth that is more than sufficient to buy their way out of service in the Astra Militarum a dozen times over. But Ventrillia has a proud military culture, with a history of duelling that stretches back to pre-Imperial times, and few Ventrillian Nobles would risk the dishonour of giving up their commissions.
Ventrillia's rarest gemstones are of great value to the Adeptus Mechanicus, both for manufacturing and research purposes. To secure a steady supply of these jewels, the Tech-priests ensure that Ventrillia and its regiments are always supplied with an abundance of super-heavy tanks.
