Record by era

This archive tracks four layers. A record present in 4 of them (HH, AoI, M41, IND) is silent in the rest, and says so.

The Horus HeresyM30–M31
ork
Ullanor Prime — ork empire, then the Emperor's Triumph
[RECORD LOST]
In this era the world is Ullanor, seat of a vast ork empire; breaking it is the campaign that ends with Horus raised to Warmaster at the Triumph. No hive city has been built on it and none will be for fifteen hundred years — what is down there is jungle, ocean and greenskins. Its position in this era is [RECORD LOST] — no published source gives Ullanor's coordinates before it was moved.
Age of the ImperiumM32–M40
contested
Ullanor, then Armageddon

The Beast makes Ullanor his capital during the War of the Beast. The Mechanicum are recorded as destroying the world; in fact they teleported it bodily into the Armageddon System, and the name Ullanor left the record.

The 41st Millenniumpre-Rift
imperium
Hive world; four Armageddon Wars

Fifty-five billion souls in hive clusters between ash wastes and jungle. Fought over by daemon, ork and Imperium in turn — Hive Hades and Helsreach are bywords for the worst of it.

Era Indomituspost-Rift
imperiumImperium Sanctus
Hive world; still contested

Still Imperial and still burning. Ork pressure never lifted, and the Fourth War opened with wholesale theft of matter out of the system by ork teleporta.

Contested record

Identity: canon reveals Armageddon to be the relocated world of Ullanor. Its pre-M32 position is unrecorded, so the marker shows only its post-relocation home.
