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 largest armoured battle of the Heresy

A settled desert world that Perturabo virus-bombed and then would not leave, so the survivors fought him from inside their own tanks in a dust cloud that never lifted. More armour was destroyed here than anywhere else in the war.

Age of the ImperiumM32–M40
imperium
Desert world

Repopulated, and thereafter a source of desert-raider regiments.

The 41st Millenniumpre-Rift
imperium
Desert world

The Tallarn Desert Raiders are one of the Imperial Guard's most recognisable formations, and the wrecks are still out there.

Era Indomituspost-Rift
imperium
Desert world

Still tithing raider regiments to both halves of the Imperium.
