Editing Battle of Beta-Garmon (section)

==Background==

The Beta-Garmon Star Cluster, located in the Segmentum Solar, was one of the very few human-inhabited regions of the galaxy to survive the Age of Strife more or less intact. When it was peacefully integrated into the Imperium at the beginning of the Great Crusade, it became a strategically vital area for several reasons, chief of which was its position on the stable Warp routes leading to the Sol system. It had an infrastructure capable of repairing and supporting entire expeditionary fleets and produced valuable resources and crops. Taken together, these factors made Beta-Garmon a favored mustering ground and supply depot for the Imperial military. The Space Wolves, Adeptus Custodes, and Sisters of Silence assembled at Beta-Garmon prior to [[Burning of Prospero|kicking in Magnus’ front door and setting his house on fire]], and it would prove to be a key objective for both sides during the Horus Heresy.
