Editing The Lathes (section)

===Hesh===

Hesh is the production powerhouse of the Lathes, with countless factories, assembly lines, and assembly yards devoted to churning out arms and armor for the Imperial war machine. It specializes in the production of the [[Valdor Tank Hunter]], having claimed the production facilities for the vehicle when they were moved off Het, and [[Ordinatus]]-class war engines. It is the most conservative and orthodox of the three worlds, and the tech-priests of Hesh tend to regard their counterparts on Het as devious politicians and those on Hadd as lazy do-nothings. As a result, the planet is covered in fanes and shrines to the Omnissiah.

The grandest of these places of worship is the Curia Mechanicum, a massive temple/factory/administration complex that is Hesh's beating heart. The Curia contains the hull of the original fabricator ship that landed on Hesh during the Angevin Crusade, but also contains the administrative offices of the planet and the factories under the Fabricator's direct supervision. Also of note is the Ordinatus Yards, a continent-sized factory complex devoted to the repair and refurbishment of Ordinatus war engines. The Yards are a place of pilgrimage for Mechanicus adepts from across the sector, though they are only needed perhaps once or twice in a generation.
