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
imperium
Where Sanguinius was found

The larger of Baal's two irradiated moons, populated by tribes who survived a nuclear war none of them started. Sanguinius's pod came down here and the tribe that raised him is why the IX Legion recruits from moons rather than the planet.

Age of the ImperiumM32–M40
imperium
Blood Angels recruiting moon

The Chapter's aspirants still cross its deserts on foot, and most of them do not.

The 41st Millenniumpre-Rift
imperium
Blood Angels recruiting moon

Also recorded as Baalfora. Unchanged in ten thousand years except in who is allowed to leave.

Era Indomituspost-Rift
imperium
Besieged, then held

Hive Fleet Leviathan reached the moons before the planet. The Blood Angels lost most of a Chapter defending them.
