===Geography and Notable places=== [[File:Futuristic city by silberius-d7n7i9i.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Ciban City, overlooked by Mikkeline.]] Ciban IV is a world reminiscent of Holy Terra's youth. It has two major continents (Arcadia and Jolof) and three smaller landmasses, and the substantial oceans are regulated by the passing of its large moon, Mikkeline. The planet is blessed with a fine climate, mineral wealth, and generates its own magnetic field to deflect harmful radiation. Civilisation on such a fortuitous world has come easy, and there are many impressive sights to be seen. '''Notable Places on Arcadia''' * '''Ciban City''' is the world's main gateway to the stars. Construction on this purpose-built planetary capital began just after the end of the planet's Revolutionary Wars, and the coming of the Emperor only accelerated its growth. * Many Cibanese make a point of visiting '''The Spiral Cenotaph''' near Saint Vercy, dating from late M32. This great park, fully 10km in diameter, is laid out as a replica of the Milky Way Galaxy. Stately columns, bearing the names of the fallen, mark out the site of each battle fought by the Army of Ciban or the Void Angels. Replicas of the colours of destroyed brigades are also displayed in the appropriate locations. A small army of guides is employed to show visitors around the park, allowing them to retrace the steps of expeditions from Ciban. * Outside of the Void Angels' facilities, the '''d'Orléans Academy''' is Ciban IV's premier institute of martial instruction. Its alumni include several Inquisitors, not to mention hundreds of Marshals and countless lower-ranking officers. '''Notable Places on Jolof''' * The Void Angels' great '''Collegium Majoris''' is the centre of the Chapter's operations and still houses the command and control facilities used to direct the Fifth Legion in the Great Crusade. Although one of the Galaxy's great fortresses, the graceful lines and airy atmosphere of the Collegium Majoris give the impression of a university or technical institute. * '''Fennec Shrines'''. Fennechia is home to a number of fine temples dating from the Age of Strife. While these fell into disrepair late in M29 as the grand faith of pre-Gallian conquest was suppressed, many of the best examples were brilliantly restored during Ciban's golden centuries of M31. The great domes, especially that of the magnificent '''Sanctuaire de Sagesse''', and intricate non-representative artwork still draw visitors from throughout the Sector. * The '''Gaspard Lumey Museum''' in located in Nouvelle-Havre. This memorial museum to the Primarch was set up in his home town during the period of the Great Crusade. Over the centuries it has been through several different buildings as it increased its collection and popularity. By the end of the 40th Millenium, the museum highlights include; replicas of Lumey's armour and weapons from different times of his life, an excellent collection of his writings, and a fine exhibition of Icons from the Sabbat Worlds showing "The Angel Gaspard" as he appeared to Saint Sabbat.
