Hive Hades
Hive Hades was the site of heavy fighting during the Second War for Armageddon, where Hades Hive was the lynch pin in defeating the Orks by holding up so many that their advance stalled. The hive was left a ruin; even decades later it bore the scars of brutal conflict.
At the start of the Third War for Armageddon, Ghazghkull chose not to bother assaulting Hades, as he knew that the Imperial defenders would not offer much resistance before they abandoned the hive and fell back. As a result, he instead bombarded the hive from orbit, utterly annihilating it.
To the south west is the Diablo Mountains and Ork Mountain, to the east is the Eumendies Bridge linking to the motorway and passing the Averneas Forge Complex, which produces vast amounts of vehicles and ordnance for the war effort. It was partially destroyed when shards broke off from the Ork asteroids when they bombarded the Hive itself. The Ork Rok dropsite is located close to the motorway in the south and the majority of the area is covered in Ash Wastes from the nearby industry. In the north west Yarrick's Hope Harbour is a centre of resistance but was largely destroyed, however small attack craft can be launched from here to defend the pipelines across the Boiling Sea.
