Homeworld celestia prime

World type: fortress world/civilized world

System: celestia system. Ultima segmentum

PLANET LORE:

World information: the planet of celestia prime is a civilized world that doubles as a fortress world with a multibiome climate. (jungle , coastal , tropics ,  Riverlands ,ocean ,desert, mountains ,steppes, and plains) that has an average tech level approximate of most civilized worlds, (1960s to 2030ish)or pre industrial ,or cyberpunk depending on area. with a higher tech level centered around the single hive city capital of  hive xanjing

Religion and culture:
The people of celestia prime revere the god emperor of mankind under the title of the celestial emperor, or simply the emperor, and locals occasional refer to the adeptus terra as the great Celestial bureaucracy.
They view the god emperor more or less conventially but often portray him in local attire, use motifs relating to dragons and stars,  and view serving in the either the arbites, the administratum, or the Dragonblade Legion and serving/dying for the emperor as the 3 highest forms of worship. with all other service of the imperium also viewed in great regard as a loyalist world should be.

Moreover, the planet is traditionally especially inclined towards order, and service even more so than other worlds.
Common architecture in celestia prime is pagoda type structures ,large skyscraper filled cities with massive scale focused design and various traditional architecture, (as well as customs and traditions) similar to the nation of China in millenia 2 ancient terra.

Wildlife and geography:
The planet of celestia prime is covered in several large oceans with 1 massive supercontinent known simply as great celestia, many archipelagos and 2 smaller continents. one being tropical and lush, and another being a barren wasteland.  it is about 2.5 times the size of terra, but strangely has about equal gravity. in the north of  the continent of great celestia lies massive steppes inhabited by humans on one side of an archeotech void shielded  wall/fortress network, and Kroot mauraders and feral orks on the other.
Meanwhile the west is full of deserts, and mountains, while the climate elsewhere varies greatly.

Wildlife in such a place includes many common ancient terran wildlife, as well as xenos wildlife such as dragon horses
, Winged longma flying serpents known as celestian dragons beasts known by locals as jade lions (greenish grey lion like beasts that breath something similar to promethium)  and argent cranes (giant redcranes larger than a person) and gigantic mammoth sized black furred oxlike creatures, as well as many other beings like giant turtules, and 4 winged orblike birds with blue and green feathers. Climate around the hive city of xanjing resembles lushfoothills, rather than radwastes due to the archeotech device mitigating pollution.

MISC LORE
Other facts about celestia prime:
Admech has heavy presence and favors the guard regiments there granting them clearance to way more tech than most guard

The celesitan dragonblade guard has fought defesnivly in 1 civil war, 1 localized feral ork waaagh, and 2 large internal kroot invasions , on there world alone as well as attacks from outside by kroot, orks ,one dark eldar raid (fought dark eldar totally successfully. aka they couldn't get back to commoragh alive.) and various minor xenos and ships its regiments to tons more battlefields across the galaxy on a regular basis

GUARD REGIMENT INFORMATION

While the dragonblade guard are professional soldiers throughout, leaving very little subpar they do excell in massive firepower , advanced tactics, and armored or mechanized warfare. there doctrine tends to favor large numbers of chimeras and tanks launching a massive spearhead attack, backed by mobile basilisks as motorized regiments backed by even more artillery follow behind them. all while special operations and light infantry obliterate the back lines with gunship support, and aircraft bombard key enemy assets. all while electro vox jamming equipment ,and decoys, and false augur signatures divert enemy firepower. The doctrine of the dragonblade guard focuses on versitely, combined with an even mix of 50% mobile subtle precision and 50% overwhelming firepower  that utilizes every asset on the book.
