Macharia is an Imperial Shrine World in Segmentum Pacificus. It was originally known as Donia. It is most famous for being the homeworld of Lord Commander Solar Macharius and the site where he began his famous Macharian Crusade.[1]
Since his death, the Ecclesiarchy has declared Macharius a Saint and renamed his homeworld Macharia in his honor. It now stands as a shrine, attracting millions of pilgrims.[2]
