Necromunda is a planet that features in Warhammer 40,000.

History

Necromunda was a Hive World located within the Segmentum Solar of the Imperium of Man within the Milky Way galaxy. It was rumored that long ago the Piscean xenos race were the first to arrive on Necromunda, which at the time still had large oceans. They were said to be both cunning and violent when they viciously resisted Humanity's conquest of Necromunda years later. According to the legends of House Delaque, the Pisceans vanished shortly before Necromunda became consumed by industry and war. The Delaque believe the Pisceans did not leave Necromunda but instead took refuge in the subterranean oceans near the planet's core as Humanity first began to arrive.
