Geography
Ark'alask-Septimus is the seventh and last of Ark'alask's major ellipsoidal moons, although the gas giant is known to have more than two hundred moonlets of various small sizes in its orbit. It is a barren, rocky planetoid, with a thin atmosphere generally toxic to unaugmented humans. It is the furthest major body from the system's core, which is why it was chosen as the site of a Crusade armoury facility - ships could quickly translate out of the Warp, take in supplies, and be on their way without having to needlessly congest the busy Harkarialis-Primaris naval yard further in-system.
The moons's surface is a jagged jigsaw of mountain ranges and deep canyons, a testament to a more tumultuous age when it's core still burned. Now it is a dead world, although the infernal magma storms from the gas giant below keeps Ark'alask-Septimus warm enough to sustain life. This forbidding landscape is dominated by the eleven kilometer high peak of Karadon Indomitus. It is under this colossal mountain that the Imperium built its armoury.
Vast amounts of war matériel produced by the teeming hives of Betalis as well as the local world of Uzun'kar are stockpiled at the Ark'alask-Septimus Facility, and even though the Harkarialis System was generally considered a quiet area during the later Great Crusade period, significant fortifications were erected to defend the moon from predation. At the core of these defences is the Ferrumskrag, the Iron Keep, a redoubtable fortress built along the eastern face of Karadon Indomitus. Protected by powerful void shields capable of deflecting any void bombardment and half-kilometre thick curtain walls, the Ferrumskrag was designed by the warrior-engineers of the IVth Legion to be an impregnable citadel securing a major link in the Great Crusade's logistical supply chain. Furthermore, a vast network of forts, redoubts, and trenches defended the approaches to the fortress along Karadon Plateau, all designed to make any attack as costly and futile to a potential enemy as possible.
