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
Site of the Pharos

An unremarkable Ultramar world sitting on top of a xenos machine nobody built and nobody understood, which could cut through the Ruinstorm and light ships home. Imperium Secundus ran on it until the Night Lords took it.

Age of the ImperiumM32–M40
imperium
Scythes of the Emperor homeworld

Given to a Chapter after the Heresy; the Pharos never worked again.

The 41st Millenniumpre-Rift
tyranid
Consumed; a dead world stripped to the rock

Hive Fleet Kraken took the world and most of the Chapter with it. The survivors have been a fleet-based remnant ever since.

Era Indomituspost-Rift
none
Dead world

Stripped. The Scythes still name it as their homeworld because there is nothing else to name.
