	Imagine a [[Tau]] [[Orbital City]] grown several orders of magnitude too large. Orbital Plates are marvels of Imperial/Human astroengineering and are the largest semi-mobile space assets in the Imperium. Eclipsed only by the [[Eldar]] [[Craftworld]]s and the [[Necron]] [[World Engine]]s.		Imagine a [[Tau]] [[Orbital City]] grown several orders of magnitude too large.

	[[Terra]] used to be home to some of the largest and most glorious Orbital Plates which were mainly constructed during the [[Dark Age of Technology]]. Most of these were destroyed over the course of the [[Horus Heresy]], either by [[Rogal Dorn]] decommissioning them for fears of their vulnerability for the coming Siege or by Horus' forces during the Siege itself.
