Record by era

This archive tracks four layers. A record present in 3 of them (AoI, M41, IND) is silent in the rest, and says so.

The Horus HeresyM30–M31
[RECORD LOST]
No record for this location in The Horus Heresy.
Age of the ImperiumM32–M40
imperium
Claimed by right of conquest

A lost human world found after the Second Founding, whose natives had survived their own jungle by becoming worse than it. The Flesh Tearers took it as a homeworld on the spot and named it 'Birth of Wrath'.

The 41st Millenniumpre-Rift
imperium
Flesh Tearers homeworld

Fourth planet of its system and a death world in the plain sense: the flora and fauna kill, constantly, and the recruits are the ones that outlast them.

Era Indomituspost-Rift
imperium
Cut off, then reclaimed

Isolated for twenty years behind the Rift and found overrun by genestealer cults and a Chaos warband when contact was finally re-established. It was taken back.
