Meaning and background
The story behind Kronus
Kronus names a fictional planet in the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War games. Games Workshop’s own coverage identifies it as the Necron-infested world from Dawn of War: Dark Crusade and the setting revisited in Dawn of War IV. That supplies a precise science fiction and strategy game association. It does not establish a personal-name etymology or prove that Kronus derives from any similarly spelled figure in classical mythology.
