Venus is an Imperium Industrial World that lies near Terra in the Sol System.[1] Originally its abundant volcanism and thick atmosphere made it uninhabitable, but it was terraformed at some point before the rise of the Imperium.[4] There are deep cloud hives on this planet.[3]
During the Great Crusade, Venus was dominated by War Witches who fielded armies of Litho-Gholem. The early Iron Warriors Space Marine Legion led the conquest of Venus during the Mehr Yasht campaign.[2]
