Purity (Planet)

Purity is a civilised world in the Edgestraight system, and is the home of the The Purity Legion chapter of Space Marines. Purity is mostly covered in ocean, with a single continent and numerous islands.

The large continent, named Kryptica, is incredibly flat and consists entirely of grassy plans and soft, rolling hills. In the very centre of Kryptica, sitting atop a great hill, resides the Fortress-Monastery of the Purity Legion. The rest of Kryptica is home to open uninhabited meadows and farmland, with large cities straddling its coastline.

The oceans of Purity are full of islands, ranging from large nation-sized islands to small atolls. These islands are all highly volcanic, and have vast rivers and lakes of lava running through their charred surfaces. The islands also constantly rage with wildfires.

As a result of their environment, the primitive and warring tribes of the islands have become highly adept at the use of fire and flame-based weapons for warfare. This penchant for fire matches with the Purity Legion chapter's love of Flamer and Melta weapons, and the Chapter often recruit extensively from the population of these Islands.

The Purity Auxilla
The Purity Auxilla are the human Planetary Defence Force (PDF) of Purity, and the entire Edgestraight system it is part of. Compared to most PDF forces the Purity Auxilla are highly trained and well-armed, with each soldier being issued a basic form of powered armour and helmet. Like the Salamanders Legion they are descended from, the Purity Legion chapter have great care and respect for mortal humans. This has seen many Purity Auxilla deployed alongside the Purity Legion Astartes, and they often work together. There are currently over 100,000 Purity Auxilla soldiers in the Edgestraight system, and they played a key role in both the Stone's Reach Crusade and the Tau's Storm of Vengeance.

Moons
Purity has two moons, known to the locals as the twin sisters. These moons are named Chastity and Constance. Constance is roughly twice the size of Chastity.

Chastity is an icy, airless rock that is home to thousands of defence arrays and outposts to man these arrays, which are constantly ready to fire upon any who may attack Purity.

Constance is a dustbowl with an unpleasant but breathable atmosphere which hosts the main base of the Purity Auxilla, along with the Purity Legion's shipyards and warehouses of stored wargear. Several caves run beneath the surface of Constance, crawling with a carnivorous unintelligent Xenos named the Ironmaw. The Ironmaw are often captured and used for target practise and training by the Purity Auxilla, and sometimes the Purity Legion themselves.
