Naxos system
The Naxos system[2] orbits a star called 88 Beta Naxos. It is part of the Reef Stars[1] and the Gothic Sector's Quinrox Sound.[3] The system contains at least seven planets.[1]
Overview
The Naxos system was charted by Rogue Trader Benefico Lazale in M37. In 561.M38, the system's main planet Naxos was turned into a Mining World. However, the world suffered repeated raids by Drukhari.[1]
In 139.M41, the system's Orbital Station Aleph fell silent. A Dauntless Light Cruiser was sent by Battlefleet Gothic to investigate. Led by Captain Spire, the cruiser found Orbital Station Aleph under the control of Heretics and encountered a large Chaos fleet before fleeing the system. This incident proved one of many pointing at the buildup of a major Chaos operation which later proved to be the 12th Black Crusade.[2]
In 811.M41, Naxos was the site of a major battle between Drukhari raiders and the Iron Snakes Space Marines.[1]
