	When time comes, as it often does, for Cognomen to export weapons to the rest of the Segmentum, it does have a few foci for its manufacturing. Although it is just as capable of building basic human and Astartes wargear as any other Forge World of its age, the world’s Fabricator Magos Council has elected to pursue excellence in specific forms of weapons rather than try to master them all without the absolute support of Mars like mighty Anvilus or Lucius. The focus of most Cognomen arms trading for now is infantry weaponry, specifically high quality autorifles, stubbers, lasguns, and grenade launchers. Though this is a far cry from the diverse and technologically bizarre weapons of the Dark Age and Age of Strife, that’s the point, in Cognomen’s way of thinking. Laser technology is one of the few fields of technology in which present-day humanity is unambiguously superior to Dark Age technology, so why not focus on what they do best? Cognomen lasrifles and autorifles are cheap, quiet, easy to repair, easy to maintain, waterproof, and light – perfect for a Guard or PDF force without much money. For the forces with more money, like [[Setting:~~CloudburstSeptiim~~\|Septiim]] and [[Setting:~~CloudburstCeleste~~\|Celeste]] troops, there are all manner of options: plasma, [[melta]], [[bolter]], shotgun, missile, and [[flamer]] weapons of the usual variety. By necessity, the Cognomen Forgemasters have also grown accustomed to making the various vehicle upgrade kits the [[Setting:~~CloudburstBlueDaggers~~\|Blue Daggers]] and Septiim Guard love so much, like sponson and pintle bolter packages.

	Sniper weapons are the natural progression of Cognomen’s infantry rifle focus. Cognomen manufactures a line of projectile rifles dubbed the Razor series by its testers. Based loosely on the ancient Martian and Terran hunting rifles from which it takes its name, the Razors are mechanical simplicity itself. Using the expanding gas from the primer and powder of its discharged slugs to both propel the slug and clear the chamber, they come in automatic, semi-automatic, and bolt-action variants. Long-barrel variants and variants with integrated sound suppressors are especially popular with counter-sniper and counter-terrorist specialists, while shorter ones with integrated forward grips and compensators or flash hiders pop up often in Imperial Guard infantry units. Cognomen Lasweapons are based on Martian designs, with few technological deviations.		Sniper weapons are the natural progression of Cognomen’s infantry rifle focus.

	To get around this cost bottleneck, the Cognomen Council of Magos has established three satellite worlds of their own Forge World, with the intent of eventually making them Forge Satraps of Cognomen. The first is the planet Foraldshold, originally discovered by the Rogue Trader Forald Drenweiss during the First Gold Rush. The world was earmarked early for colonization by the Administratum, but the ~~Mechanicus’~~ subsequent tests revealed significant geological instability in its two continents and deep seabeds, and recommended that the world be subjected to limited Terraforming before a colony be built. The Administratum acceded to this. Thousands of years later, the planet is tectonically stable and ready for inhabitation, and the Mechanicus has already erected a massive city of colonists and Tech-adepts, ready to begin turning the planet into a Forge Satrap. The second is the Forge Moon of Solstice, in the Septiim system, which is already manufacturing advanced weapons for the Blue Daggers. Solstice is more independent, but recognizes Cognomen’s undeniably higher placement in the Mechanicus hierarchy. Eventually, Solstice will manufacture all forms of Space Marine hardware and take over doing so on the behalf of the Blue Daggers. The third is the cluster of proto-Agri-worlds of Forender, which are now producing food for Cognomen, since it can barely produce any now.

	What few vehicles Cognomen does not build, it would very much like to. The planet has, after two thousand years of careful negotiating – the Martians would say ‘wheedling’ – finally gained access to the -hammer and Bane- hull tanks, including the mighty Baneblade itself. Although its components and cannons are somewhat larger than the glorious Martian master design thanks to Cognomen’s less advanced (and less numerous) forges, they are no less deadly for it. Next, Cognomen seeks the rights to build the Storm- and Shadow- series tanks, and perhaps even the Leviathan and Capitol Imperialis. The Macharius tanks are hardly a mainstay of Cognomen forges, but they do build them for the regiments that ask for them.		What few vehicles Cognomen does not build, it would very much like to.

	The vast forges of Cognomen are the pride of the sector [[Adeptus Mechanicus\|Mechanicus]], and for good reason. They are among the largest, the most productive, and the most technoarcanely blessed in the far north of the Segmentum, and Cognomen's vast data banks contain most of the blueprints of the far-off Martian forges. Lacking some of the most advanced, they make do with high production of as many templates as they can manage. The vast shipyards in orbit have seven 10-kilometer yards, which can connect beams to expand their cradle length. They are theoretically capable of building any vessel of equal or lesser size, including the mighty Universe-class mass conveyor vehicle or Imperial Navy battleships. As of M41.999, six yards are occupied with building ships of nine kilometer beam or greater: two Universes, three battleships, and a Grand Cruiser. The seventh yard is undergoing retrofits to accommodate even larger hulls, up to the massive Gloriana battleship, without merging beams. Dozens of smaller yards manufacture lesser ships, of all designs, including the all-important Galaxy and Constellation troopships and Marketeer livestock barges.

	Cognomen had enormous resource deposits, but these have been nearly depleted through colossal strip-mines that have rendered much of the planet a barren wasteland. Although there is still extensive construction on the surface and below, the usable amount of open agriculture land on the planet is all but gone. As a result, other planets export nearly all of Cognomen’s fresh food. Cognomen's heavily saline oceans are rapidly drying out. Total loss of all non-terraform-active outdoor habitability is anticipated within eighty years. Cognomen's senior Magos Biologis have completed gene-sequencing all of Cognomen's native life, and have written it off. Once, Cognomen was a world of grasslands and silty seas.

	First and foremost in the armies of Cognomen are the vast Titans of its Legion, Legio Congelatio. The mighty Engines of War number twenty-five intact Titans, with another partially assembled, and the resources allocated for another. The core of the Legion are four Warlord Battle Titans and a single Reaver Battle Titan. These five engines traditionally mount as much in the way of directed energy weapons as possible, like Volcano cannons and other lasers. Cognomen is justly proud of its extraordinarily accurate and powerful laser weapons, and its Titans keep up that function. Of course, the Titans are able to swap out their weapons as needed, but their preference is for extreme range and accuracy. Congelatio Warlords are more akin to tank destroyers than tanks, and never fight singly if they can partner up.

	The Cognomen combat forces do not yet field a Legio Cybernetica unit, though they theoretically could. Their Skitarii are loyal to Mars first and Cognomen second, but the Cognomen insistence on exploration and heavy military expansion means that they feel well treated and respected by the Cognomen bureau-clergy. They augment their forces with extensive combat servitor units, and typically avoid mercenaries or the use of militia; this is academic given the sparse population of Cloudburst anyway. The Skitarii stationed on this world are Martian in origin, but their ranks are filled by the humans of Cognomen. Their paint scheme uses russet camouflage, with black and grey trim. At any given time, the Skitarii legions of Cognomen have approximately two million active troops, a five hundred thousand man PDF, and another million Skitarii out among the stars, aiding other Mechanicus forces or on the Quest for Knowledge. This is, proportionately, a tiny Skitarii formation for a world of such a high population, and thus the Council of Magi is expanding it as quickly as they can.

	As go the War God-Engines, so go the Secutarii. The Corpus Secutarii Congelatio are the most elite (non-Astartes) foot units in the entire Subsector, far above the meager Guard and PDF forces of other Cognomen Subsector worlds. As with all Secutarii, the Cognomen Secutarii – who have named themselves the Titanshields – are the logistical corps and rear guard of Titan battle formations, and use cybernetic legs and other mobility-enhancing technology to allow themselves to keep up with Titans on the move. Their default uniform scheme is black and blood-red, with grey trim, highlights, and uniform badges. Their template is the Martian Corpus Secutarii formation that accompanies the Taranis Knights and Legio Ignatum into war. As such, their Axiarchs adorn themselves with armor made from components of dead war machines, usually their own, as a sign for each other that they will never again forget their duty.

	The religious beliefs of the planet are not at all far from the balance of the greater Cloudburst Sector. In fact, Lord Beraxos and Cardinal Drake ~~are in agreement~~ that it would be best for the population of over twenty billion menials of the world to be given the choice of the Faiths Imperial to choose from, and worship their preference. This wouldn’t be orthodox on most Forge Worlds, but given both the Cloudburst Sector’s disgusting lack of Cardinals and the Cognomen-specific historical pariah status, anything else would surely invite too much scrutiny from Terra and Mars.

The planet has, after two thousand years of careful negotiating – the Martians would say ‘wheedling’ – finally gained access to the -hammer and Bane- hull tanks, including the mighty Baneblade itself. Although its components and cannons are somewhat larger than the glorious Martian master design thanks to Cognomen’s less advanced (and less numerous) forges, they are no less deadly for it.

The Macharius tanks are hardly a mainstay of Cognomen forges, but they do build them for the regiments that ask for them.

	The vast forges of Cognomen are the pride of the sector Mechanicus, and for good reason. They are among the largest, the most productive, and the most technoarcanely blessed in the far north of the Segmentum, and Cognomen's vast data banks contain most of the blueprints of the far-off Martian forges. Lacking some of the most advanced, they make do with high production of as many templates as they can manage. The vast shipyards in orbit have seven 10-kilometer yards, which can connect beams to expand their cradle length. They are theoretically capable of building any vessel of equal or lesser size, including the mighty Universe-class mass conveyor vehicle or Imperial Navy battleships. As of M41.999, six yards are occupied with building ships of nine kilometer beam or greater: two Universes, three battleships, and a Grand Cruiser. The seventh yard is undergoing retrofits to accommodate even larger hulls, up to the massive Gloriana battleship, without merging beams. Dozens of smaller yards manufacture lesser ships, of all designs, including the all-important Galaxy and Constellation troopships and Marketeer livestock barges.
