===Yojan VII, Primary Mining World=== {{Infobox 40k Planet |name= Yojan VII |bgcolor=black |fgcolor=white |image=[[File:Yojan_VII.jpg|200px]] |class= Mining World |orbdist= 436AU Β± 8.3AU |gravity= 1.24G |temp= Temperate/Irradiated |pop= 10,000,000 (Miners) 20,000 (Rogue Traders/Others) |governor= |system= Yojan System |sector= Atalantos |subsector= Yojan |segmentum= Ultima Segmentum }} Yojan VII and its massive moon Yojan Beta orbit a brilliant blue giant star of roughly 30 solar masses, only barely avoiding incineration by virtue of their distended orbit, more than ten times as distant from the parent star as Pluto is from Sol. It takes slightly more than 2,000 years for Yojan VII to circle its star, so no man ever celebrates his first Yojan birthday. Indeed, the Imperium itself is only five Yojan years old! Though Yojan VII has less than four million years before its star dies, that is more than long enough for the Imperium's needs. No life exists on Yojan VII, though the planet does possess liquid water and a full water cycle. It is harsh and rugged, barely finished cooling its oceans and solidifying its crust. In the mines dozens of kilometers below the surface, it is said that one cannot fire a mining laser for more than 30 seconds without striking some valuable node of ore or priceless jewel, and the endless conveyor belts and smelters are full to bursting with wealth. No world in the Atalantos Cluster produces such value for the Imperium. Yojan Beta has few of the mineral resources its parent carries in such abundance, much like Luna compared to Holy Terra. To conserve resources and save on travel time, the gigantic moon's crust has been all but hollowed out and replaced with city-sized smelters and ore purifiers of every type. Yojan Beta is larger than Mars, but even its titanic machinery can barely keep pace with the parent world's output. Life in the mines is brutally hard for the indentured servants, but a large number of independent mining companies and even a few Rogue Trader dynasties have also made treaties with the Scribes to exploit Yojan VII's immense wealth. These individuals tend to be able to afford better equipment for their skilled laborers. Both groups, indentured and salaried alike, are required to provide the Scribes with recruits, and those Scribes that come from Yojan VII are tough, rugged individuals even by the standards of Space Marines, well used to backbreaking labor and other tests of endurance. ====Other Mining Worlds==== As time marches on, the Atalantos Worlds have become more and more dependent on increasing supplies of raw materials to maintain their ancient relics. To meet the demands, even the most barren, blasted planetoids are being examined for mineral wealth, and the War Scribes are claiming them at a breakneck pace. Most Mining Worlds in the Atalantos Worlds are sparsely populated, largely given over to armies of tunneling machinery and transient populations of indentured servants, slaves, and criminals. *To-Lek Prime *Arphalos III *Delta Ophan II *Mologe Valonis *Fleshboiler (Penal Colony) *Tenalor II *Porit-Xen Alpha *Tikon Eklem *Firefall *Blackstone *Korvis X *The Bad Lands *Golden Cave *Boteh'nel VI *Ophachix I, II, III *Teleos V *Aklan Maklen *Uriel Prime
