Dromokas

Dromokas is a fictional planet featured in the *Warhammer 40,000* universe, a dark fantasy science fiction setting created by Games Workshop. Located in the Segmentum Obscurus, a region of the Imperium of Man known for its extreme chaos and corruption, Dromokas is a world plagued by constant warfare, genetic experimentation, and the influence of the Warp, the chaotic dimension that bleeds into reality.

The planet is infamous for its brutal history, particularly during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy, where it served as a battleground for the Imperium’s early conflicts. It was later seized by the Chaos Space Marine legions of the World Eater, a heretic chapter that embraced the dark gods of Chaos. Under their rule, Dromokas became a hub for genetic atrocities, where the World Eaters conducted horrific experiments to create superhuman warriors, including the infamous Dromokas Genestealer Cults and mutated soldiers.

The planet’s surface is a desolate wasteland, scarred by ancient ruins, toxic waste pits, and the remnants of fallen structures. Its atmosphere is thick with pollution, and its people—when they exist—are often enslaved or consumed by the forces of Chaos. The planet’s name is derived from the Chaos god Khorne, reflecting its association with bloodshed and war.

Dromokas has been a key location in several *Warhammer 40,000* novels and supplements, often depicted as a symbol of the Imperium’s struggle against heresy. Its destruction was foretold in some lore, though it remains a contested and dangerous world in the current timeline. The planet’s legacy endures as a cautionary tale of the dangers of unchecked ambition and the corrupting influence of Chaos.
