Lannar IV
Lannar IV was an Imperium Forge World, that lied near the edge of the Segmentum Solar and during the Horus Heresy, it became a vital component in the war effort against the Warmaster; as it produced arms and armour en masse, for the Loyalist Legions.[1]

As the Heresy neared its end though, the Traitors entered the Segmentum Solar and the Warmaster personally ordered an all-out assault on the Forge World. However the Imperium's leaders always knew that Lannar IV would be a target for the Traitors and had the Forge World heavily fortified and defended. Even more of the Imperium's forces were called to defend Lannar IV and soon a large number of Loyalists and Traitors, in numbers rarely seen during the Heresy, were massed around the Forge World. Both sides knew that whoever gained control of Lannar IV, would have had a significant resupply line for the battles to come in the Solar Segmentum and the push toward Terra.[1]
When the Traitors finally invaded however, their main target was the Forge World's primary city, Lannar Prime, though only the upper echelons of Horus' and the Imperium's leadership knew the reason why. For Lannar IV was no ordinary Forge World, but the site of a Mechanicum project known as the Lifebane, which was being secretly constructed beneath Lannar Prime's surface. The Lifebane had the power to change the face of the war and it was the true reason the Warmaster had ordered Lannar IV to be invaded and why the Imperium had sent such numbers to defend the Forge World. However, the ultimate fate of Lannar IV and the Lifebane is unknown.[1]
