====Donnybrook====
Donnybrook's unorthodox title comes from the name of the Rogue Trader, Kalis "Donnybrook" Vestan, who discovered it at the end of M40. Claiming it as his own, he fought a brief war with the Imperial Navy before his fleet was crushed in orbit above the planet. The wreckage of his flotilla still orbits the planet. The world is comprised mainly of lava flows, a result of the thousands of volcanoes on the world. The settlers on the planet have done the exact opposite of what many would expect and made their homes inside dormant volcanoes. The heat shielded buildings are powered by the thermal energy that wafts up from beneath. Most of the settlements are crowded around the north of the planet as there is little tectonic activity there. The center of the planet is largely devoid of life. Most of the lava from the volcanoes pools at the equator of the planet, making a giant ocean of lava in the center. The aptly named “Sea of Fire” is home to strange creatures called the Yulth. 

These beasts are large lizard like creatures that spend most of their time resting on pumice islands or swimming in the lava. They require little sustenance and drink only the condensation on their backs. These creatures are prized for their heat resistant scales and diamond hard fangs, making them a valuable commodity. Efforts to domesticate them have failed as they nearly impossible to catch alive, much less train them. They are mainly caught by cargo haulers with Yulth bone tipped harpoons and taken back to the settlements. Each Volcano specializes in a different metal, chosen by which metal is the most prevalent inside the volcano. 

The high quality steel and servitor parts of Clan Ytterbium make it the richest followed by Clan Thulium whose metal is used in the fashioning of las weapons. The one major conflict this world has experienced was a brief war between the clans Gadolinium and Holmium over a dormant volcano rich in Scandium. The mainly air based conflict was finally stopped when a taskforce of Star Kraken Thunderhawk gunships intervened, marking high losses for the relatively light clan ships. An agreement was reached and the two clans rotate ownership of the volcano. A small garrison of Star Kraken marines are kept on the settlement to deter any power grabs, duty on this planet however is considered a punishment because the work is so uneventful.
