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
Homeworld of Perturabo and the IV Legion; put down by its own Legion

A world of rival mountain city-states that Perturabo learned siegecraft on. When it revolted during the Great Crusade he took the Iron Warriors home and reduced it, and never forgave himself or anyone else for it.

Age of the ImperiumM32–M40
none
Dead world

Left as the Legion left it, which was thoroughly.

The 41st Millenniumpre-Rift
none
Dead world
[RECORD LOST]
no published account has anyone reclaiming Olympia.
Era Indomituspost-Rift
none
Dead world

Nothing has come back to it. Perturabo has Medrengard, which he built himself out of the Eye, and this one is left where he left it.
