Svarog III

The third planet of the Svarog System, Svarog III is a Mechanicus Forgeworld that manufactures weapons for the Celtic Guard and Battlefleet Celtic, as well as the Iron Spears Chapter of Adeptus Astartes. The Forge World is ruled by Fabricator-General Ignatius Braun and defended by the Hammers of Svarog, the planet's Skitarii Legion.

History
The Forgeworld of Svarog III was first settled during the Time of Rebirth in order to supply weapons and technology to northern Ultima Segmentum. As more forgeworlds were settled in northern Ultima Segmentum, Svarog III began manufacturing technology for the growing Celtic Sector. When the Astartes Iron Spears Chapter was founded in the Sector, Svarog III began to create weapons, vehicles, and munitions for them as well.

Geography and Climate
The amount of manufactorum on the planet has caused devastating effects on the climate and geography. The factories by-product has had a crippling effect on the planet's atmosphere, allowing more heat and solar radiation to reach the surface. The heat and radiation has killed most of the local fauna (except for a breed of yellow-orange grass) and transformed the planet into an arid rocky wasteland.
