"Ah Ostium from which the Dio Imperators are Built and entire of fleets of warships produced."

"Image the power of one who could take such a world!"

"Take Ostium? It is the most well defended world within the Empire"

- Traitor Emperor Baal with his consort Vinitus.

Ostium is the largest Forge World, Fleet Base, and Factory in the Empire all in one. It's appearance is a planet much like mars except a massive hole tearing cleanly through the planet. A massive 500 kilometer wide hole to be exact going straight through the core (Which was later replaced with a massive gravity well to keep the planet intact) This massive hole in the planet has many thousands of factories, cathedrals, and refueling stations known as the 'Mouth' inside this hole are large areas carved into the side of the hole large enough to Build Dio Imperator Titans and areas large enough to fit entire fleets within.

Smaller holes (Around 10-15 kilo meter wide holes around 100 kilometers deep) are spread throughout the planets surface which are used to build large Titan Class starships. Around these holes are built the factories that produce all the things necessary for the ship including the side plates down to the computers and electric wires. Around these factories are built huge cities, shipping ports, and other things necessary to both sustain the workers and the factories needs.

In 36 locations across the planet are massive administrative towers that are also transport shafts that connect to the massive planetary ring that surrounds the planet. Each of these towers watch over one of the 36 sections of the planet. The Ring itself is a massive port where the materials for the workers below like food, water, and other necessary resources are shipped from across the empire. At the very heart of the Ring is built a massive administrative palace from which the Lord of Ostium looks over his realm.

Both the moons of Ostium are terraformed worlds dedicated to supplying the bulk of the planet's food needs and also around these moons are built defensive stations to help defend Ostium. So important is this world that an entire fleet and legion are stationed in the star system (Which has two other worlds)

Within the Ostium System are two other worlds Ostium Lesser and Ostium Minor. Ostium Lesser is a barren world that is very rich in metal (65% of the planets mass is usable ore) and is home to many penal colonies that strip mine the crap out of the world. The other Ostium Lesser is a junk world from which most of the 'junk' from the Empire is sent. Upon this world are massive junk fields and massive foundries that melt down the junk into usable metal and ship it too either Ostium or other locations within the empire. Each of these worlds also have Iron Rings around them but not as large as the one around Ostium itself.
