Introduction to Kronus
The Planet Kronus is where Dawn of War: Dark Crusade takes place. Kronus has a long history of Imperial control, and has been involved in many conflicts (Including the infamous Horus Heresy) and has only recently been rested from Imperial control by the The Tau Empire. Kronus is also a Necron Tomb world, the catacombs being disturbed and awakened by intruding humans (Namedly Explorator Thomas Macabre, converted into a Necron Pariah). This reawakening of the Necrons has lead the Ulthwe Farseer Tyander (That's not her proper name, I've forgotten it at the moment) to Kronus, so that she can attempt to stop the Necrons. To the south, on the Green Coast, the ORKS have entrenched themselves and have proven nigh impossible to be removed (According to the Green Coast archive page). The planet is also home to Chaos cults (And the Word Bearers Legion) in the south-east, particularly in the Deimos Peninsula, and to the north-east a Space Marines fortress. These Space Marines have come to Kronus to carry out a purge, and to acquire as many holy artifacts as possible. These Space Marines are of the Blood Ravens Chapter.
