Lithex Dominus

One of the three Lithex Forge Worlds that produce the majority of the sector's manufactured goods.

Very close ties to High Khessar and, thus, the political core of the sector.

= Technology =
 * High-end armour - vehicular, voidship, and personal; hold metallurgical and chemical secrets of great potency. Makes most of the ship hulls produced in the Lithesh Sector
 * Industrial chemistry, particularly agricultural chemicals, is a major focus of the world. Chemical explosives and artillery pieces are the most produced weapons, along with defoliants, incendiary gel, chemical weapons, etc.
 * Geo-engineering
 * Capable of producing logic engines, data looms, and other such electronics that put the other two Forge Worlds to shame
 * Maintains the only titan legion of the Lithesh sector - Legio Dominatus

Relations between Forge Worlds
Close to the nobles of High Khessar, but grasping for support as the power base shifts towards Eldritch.

Their production of ship hulls keeps the Navy reliably on-side and, though currently not best disposed towards Dominus, the Administratum absolutely rely on the cogitation systems produced on the forge world and are thus somewhat beholden to them.

Internal Power Structure
Cawlian moderates - accepting of Primaris marines but suspicious of the broader trend towards development of new technologies. The leadership is quite conservative in outlook - similarly ossified as the leadership of High Khessar

= Geography = Poisoned ash wastelands, the result of a long forgotten holocaust that turned a verdant world into a charred desert. Billions of petrified trees blanket the areas that aren't given over to vast manufactories. Powerful winds whip the fine radioactive ash into horrendous dust storms. Mutants roam the blasted landscape scavenging what they can, occasionally being driven back by Skitarii when they threaten valuable technology or when the troops require target practice.

= Military =

Legio Dominatus
The only true titan legion of the Lithesh Sector

Ground forces
Dominus boasts a formidable force, well trained in the ash wastes, though its full strength is rarely brought to bear as the Magi of the planet prioritise the defence of Dominus, High Khessar, and the other core worlds of the Trailing Excellon subsector.

Kastelan robots are a particular favourite of Dominus, employing thrice-sanctified cogitators maintained under a watchful eyes of tech-priests skilled in operating the programmed killing machines. Dunecrawlers and Ironstriders stalk across the world's wastes, supporting the ever-present Skitarii troops.
