History

Originally known as Lycaeus, Deliverance is a mineral-rich moon orbiting the Hive world of Kiavahr. Originally the moon was populated by exiles from Kiavahr, slaves and criminals who lived in crude force domes that protected them the vacuum of space. These exiles were forced to work in the massive mineworks under the watchful eyes of overseers from the world below. These circumstances changed drastically with the coming of the Primarch Corax, who united the oppressed workers and led a revolution against the ruling Tech-Guilds. After the successful liberation of their homeworld the slaves renamed the moon Deliverance. Shortly after this, the Emperor arrived on Deliverance and the world was integrated into the Imperium and was made the homeworld of the XIX Legion.^[1a]

In 996999.M41 it was about to be besieged by Waaagh! Garaghak.^{[Needs Citation]}

Overview

Deliverance is a barren and airless ball of rock covered with force domes and massive mining structures. Together with Kiavahr the two worlds produce an amount of ordanace and warmachines almost equal to a Forge World. The Ravenspire, the Raven Guard's Fortress Monastery, occupies the huge black tower that was once home to the planet's overseers.^[1b]
