Ullanor Prime is the central world of the Ullanor System that has played a key part in the history of the Galaxy.

History

Great Crusade

By M31, Ullanor Prime was the center of a vast Ork empire under the Warboss Urlakk Urg. During the famous Ullanor Crusade, Imperial forces under Horus Lupercal broke the Greenskins power and the Primarch earned the title Warmaster.[1] Under the orders of the Emperor himself the planet was heavily modified by the Adeptus Mechanicus and became the site of the most famous Imperial parade in history, the Ullanor Triumph.[3]

The Beast

1,500 years later, a massive Ork Warboss of unparalleled power known simply as The Beast appeared on Ullanor, making it the center of his empire. The world became heavily urbanized by the Orks, covering nearly the entire planet in surprisingly well-organized settlements. The Beast made his home in the capital city of Gorkogrod, building a massive temple-Gargant at the exact spot where the Emperor and Primarchs gathered during the Ullanor Triumph centuries earlier. The Beast used Ullanor as a template to perfect his Attack Moon concept, converting the entire world into a battlestation that would eventually be used to destroy Terra.[2]

Eventually, the Imperium under the returned Vulkan led a second invasion of Ullanor to slay The Beast. This battle was far different than the first Imperial crusade, seeing the Imperials fight bitter urban warfare against an enemy that refused to fight out in the open. Vulkan eventually was able to lead an Astartes strikeforce into Gorkogrod's temple-gargant, where he dueled The Beast directly. After seemingly sacrificing himself to slay The Beast, Ork resistance on Ullanor crumbled.[2]
