| - The Velixum system is a solar system located in the Segmentum Obscurus (Scarus Sector, Antimar Subsector), comprising eight worlds in orbit around a red supergiant star. The worlds are of varying size and consistently have traits of desert worlds, with very little natural water. Many of the worlds were, accordingly, depending on Velixum VIII for water, which is, conveniently, an Ice world. In 893 M41, the system fell victim to a massive invasion by the Necrons, who advanced through the planets starting from the outermost, effortlessly destroying all resistance until the Battle of Velixum III.

| - The Velixum system is a solar system located in the Segmentum Obscurus (Scarus Sector, Antimar Subsector), comprising eight worlds in orbit around a red supergiant star. The worlds are of varying size and consistently have traits of desert worlds, with very little natural water. Many of the worlds were, accordingly, depending on Velixum VIII for water, which is, conveniently, an Ice world. The system was discovered in early M36 through usage of a Mechanicus "warp-probe" - essentially an unmanned craft with poor, expendable cartographical and tracking equipment that is launched through the Astromonicon in the hopes that it will start sending back information of an undiscovered location, heralding the arrival of a colonisation fleet. After a debate between the Mechanicus and the Imperium, a heated albeit verbal conflict that exemplified the independence from the Imperium the Mechanicum effectively held, the Triad Velixumis was formed not only as a treaty of terms as to who would have rights to the three main worlds in the system, but that they would be uniquely set up to dependently co-operate with each other rather than becoming self-sufficient in their own right - a successful social experiment if there ever was one. In 893 M41, the system fell victim to a massive invasion by the Necrons, who advanced through the planets starting from the outermost, effortlessly destroying all resistance until the Battle of Velixum III.
