'''Chemos''' is the [[homeworld]] of the [[Emperor's Children]] chapter of [[Space Marines]]. It is a bleak, unforgiving world. It is warmed by two small stars and surrounded by a nebula dust cloud. This puts the planet in a perpetual grey twilight.<sup>1</sup>

It was settled long ago as a mining world but was isolated from its neighbours by warp storms during the Age of Strife. The problem was that the resources of the planet were running out. The planet was not producing enough food even for its population. Eventually, it fell to a group of fortress factories to produce all the resources. All people had to work every hour of the day, working the vapour mines and synthesisers. Recreation, art and leasure were sacreficed for survival.<sup>1</sup>

When Fulgrim crashed into the planet, he was taken in by one of the planetary police. He grew quickly and within 50 years he was ruler of the planet. Fulgrim managed to get the planet going again, re-opening old mines and farms. Resources started flowing through the planet again. It continued to grow after the [[Emperor]] arrived and re-opened trade in the sector.<sup>1</sup>

The fortress monastery of the Emperor's Children is located at the centre of Callax, one of the major cities on Chemos. After the [[Horus Heresy]], it was bombed from orbit by [[Imperium|Imperial]] forces and then quarentined by the [[Inquisition]]. No further information about the planet can be found.<sup>1</sup>
