==Homeworld== ===Neolithus=== {{Infobox 40k Planet |name= Neolithus |bgcolor=black |fgcolor=white |image=[[File:Neolithus.png|200px]] |class= Mining world/Space Marine Chapter Homeworld |orbdist= 0.8 AU Β± .2AU |gravity= 1.987 G |temp= temperate-hot |pop= 1,000,000,000 |governor= Onyx |system= Neolithian System |sector= Neolithic |subsector= Paleogothic |segmentum= Segmentum Solar/Segmentum Ultima }} Neolithus is a harsh world of craggy, rocky wastes, massive oceans, and storms that can last for years. Vegetation can only flourish on the banks of rivers leading from immense, far off mountains to the huge cliffs on its shores. In these mountains and cliffs, dark creatures stalk in the night and during the long, thunderous storms. The People of Neolithus lived in massive villages located within open quarries, like immense, inverted ziggurats dug into the stone plains. The daemonic beings that lived in the caves and crags, known as storm hounds, were a very imminent and very real threat to the quarry-villages, so with the stone dug from the village excavation, the Neolithians erected massive monoliths around the settlements, which warded off the creatures. These Monoliths were closely related to the ancestral worship the Neolithians practiced, and they were maintained every year by generation after generation, so they represented a link to the past. It is believed that the Neolithians descended from a space-faring colony from before the age of strife, as there are many stone-carvings of elder, squats, and other galactic phenomenon, as well as some strange carvings depicting unknown warp-entities, all within the many stone catacombs of the quarry-cities. Life on Neolithus was a constant struggle, despite the leaps and bounds in technology and society they experienced (especially under the leadership of Onyx), which is thought to be why Neolithians are much taller, stronger, and longer-lived than normal imperial citizens. ===Methuselah=== Now the Stone Men fortify themselves within a massive field of asteroids, shrouded by cold, dark clouds of dust and gas. They orbit a dead, zombified star, which has long since lost it's light. The star was named Methuselah, as calculations predict the star remnant to be over 10 billion years old. This dark, forsaken fortress is actually beyond the ghoul stars, as it's isolation shrouds it from the sensors of attacking tyranids, and is far from any webway for the necrons to stage a meaningful assault. On the larger asteroids and planetoids, massive stone fortresses are carved from the rock. about half of the remaining fleet (500 ships) as well as the remnants of the destroyed craftworld were cannibalized to create a massive network of functional strategic weaponry and facilities. The system has a few other cold, rocky dead worlds, and a single gas giant that emits strange signals periodically thoughout the year named "Jogsototh". {{Infobox 40k Planet |name= Methuselan System |bgcolor=black |fgcolor=white |image=[[File:MethuselanSystem.jpg|200px]] |type= Asteroid Field/Fortress |orbdist= 3.4 AU Β± 1.6AU |gravity= N/A |temp= -100 C |pop= 7,000-5,000 Marines 200,000 refugees, soldiers, technicians, etc. |governor= Chapter Master |system= Methuselan System |sector= Ghoulan |subsector= Exodia |segmentum= Ultima Segmentum }}
