Baal is the homeworld of the Blood Angels and the base of the Chapter's fortress-monastery.

Baal's two moons are called Baal Primus and Baal Secundus, from which the Blood Angels take their new recruits.

The Blood Angels Primarch, Sanguinius, fell upon Baal Secundus after he and his brother Primarchs were scattered across the galaxy by the machinations of the Chaos gods.

In ancient days Baal and its moons had earth-like atmospheres. Baal itself was always a world of red rust deserts, but its moons were close to paradises. As the Dark Age of Technology ended in the Age of Strife, civil war erupted between the world and its colonised moons, leading to the nuclear devastation of the planets.

Baal Secundus has since been a nuclear-blasted desert world with deadly levels of radiation. This forced the world's human tribes to build cumbersome radiation suits in order to survive. Mutants were once rife upon the world, frequently at war with the remaining pure humans for dominance of the planet.
