History

It was once a colony of an estimated 2000 Humans, who suddenly stopped contacting the Imperium. This silence continued for nearly twenty years, before the Departmento Colonia became aware of it and in 471.M40 the organization requested that the Blood Angels investigate what happened to the colony. Commander Milonus honored this request and sent two squads of the Chapter's Assault Space Marines to the world. Once there, they discovered that the colony was in ruins and that none of its population was in sight. The Assault squads did find, though, that the colony's remains were being scavenged over by the Orreti Xenos species.[1]

The Assault Squads thought the Xenos destroyed the colony at first, but the Orreti's weaponry was deemed to be too weak to have caused the heavy projectile damage, that appeared on its buildings and vehicles. The Blood Angels then departed from Ereus V after killing the Orreti and they suggested to the Imperium's Departmento Colonia, that a heavier military presence was needed on the world for its next settlement attempt. However, they found no evidence of who was truly responsible for the attack on Ereus V's colony or what became of its colonists.[1]

Luis Dante took part in the fighting, having been an Assault Space Marine for four years at that point.[1]
