A trio of quasi-worlds at the hem of the Malfian Sub-sector, the '''Lathes''' are the foremost Forge Worlds of the [[Calixis Sector]], overshadowing even [[Scintilla]]’s Gunmetal City for weapons manufacture. The three terraformed planetoids, '''Het''', '''Hesh''' and '''Hadd''', suffer from an irregular orbit around their star, intersecting to produce events of hyper-gravity. At such times, industry goes into an even more frantic production, as the powerful gravitational urges of the passing planetoids allow for the specialist smelting of rare metals and alloys.

Lathe-world blades are famed throughout the Calixis Sector for their unbreakable character. Blades produced under gravitic circumstances on the Lathes are considered particularly rare, a holy weapon of the Machine God. Lord Hax is known to own a rapier of Lathe origin, presented to him by Magus Luol Rho, the Lathe-world emissary to the court of Scintilla. Gravitational duress also accounts for the dense, armour-piercing quality of Lathe-world slug ammunition. These so-called “turbo-penetrators” are expensive and rare, and often purchased singly, though one fired, little can stop it from it's trajectory.

The sentient workforce of the Lathes is surprisingly small, numbering only 5 billion souls, but all those born and bred on those oddly tangling planetoids are heavy and powerful in both body and demeanour, and built with heavy bones and thick flesh.

As with all Forge Worlds held in the fealty of the Mechanicus of Mars, the Lathes are a secretive, closed environment. Visits require special permits and authority, and the Lathes are protected by a fraternity of warrior priests, who can call upon the power of Titans if the circumstances demand.
