Geography
As of 997.M41 the climate of Balor is almost that of a class L planet (Cold & Icey) yet due to the fact that most of the planet is covered in less than 97% water, it fits into the N catagory. Filled with vast plains and hills, Balor is an extremely large planet, and has many valuable raw materials such as a high proportion of Gold, Tungsten, Manganese, Iron, Chromium, Vanadium (used to make Steel) Copper and Tin (used to make Bronze) which makes it a highly valuable planet. Battles occur rarely at Balor, due to a new Naval Base being built there. It's one of many planets that has an almost unlimited supply of raw material of use to both Chaos and Imperium.
Balor is currently under the control of The Imperium and under the persistant eyes of the Inquisition.
Population
It has a population of an estimated 20 billion, with 250,000,000 garrisoned troops being part of this.
Notable Battles
Disaster of Breakback Hill
