Omega-17

Omega-17 is a major, natural satellite in orbit around the planet Aylva. Chosen for its rich abundance in mineral and resource deposits, its mining systems remained in place after Imperial compliance. Granted, the former slaves now operate under much better conditions. Several miner cities have formed in key areas on the moon's surface as the miners steadily work their way to the satellite's core. With the coming of the Imperium, the moon has become the primary base of the Halcyon Wardens. The astral body has been remade with a martial hand as it teems with defensive emplacements, legionary training zones, and military depots. Many of the raw materials from Omega-17 leave only to return as weapons and ammunition for the Halcyon Wardens' use.

There are long-term plans, once the resource deposits are exhausted, to potentially turn the moon into a mobile battlestation, on a grander scale than the recovered Phalanx.

Due to its low gravity, Omega 17 is the perfect training ground for the Halcyon Wardens' zero-gee combat training, and a major handicap to non-void operations. To compensate, training cadres will rotate between operations on the planetoid and the planet Aylva where normal gravity conditions are more reflective of other battlegrounds. Often, these movement rotations will take the form of simulated planetary invasions or rapid manoeuvre operations.

There have been discussions about properly terraforming the celestial satellite, akin to the Baal moons, but Alexandros Darshan VonSalim has rejected any such measures.
