Jemadal[1], also spelled as Jemdal[2], is a Death World, teeming with voracious predators and carnivorous plants. The atmosphere within its slimy jungles, is also so full of moisture that an unprotected Human, can drown in a matter of minutes. This has led previous attempts to terraform the world, to be abandoned by the Adeptus Mechanicus and to survive an hour on Jemadal is an achievement.[1]
In 969.M41, a strike force from the Raptors Chapter did so for seven years, after they were blown off course while in the Warp and crash landed upon the Death World. Jemadal's environment pushed the Space Marines to their limits, but the strike force persevered, until they were rescued by the Ultramarines Battle Barge Rath's Honour, in 976.M41.[1]
