Konor is an Adeptus Mechanicus Forge World in the Realm of Ultramar.[2b][5] It is currently one of four "ruling" planets overseeing a sector of the realm, and administered by a Tetrarch of Ultramar.[4]


History

Early History

The planet was presumably named after Konor Guilliman, the adoptive father of the primarch Roboute Guilliman.[3] Originally a quasi-Forge World[3], at the time of the Great Crusade Konor was one of the key worlds of Ultramar alongside places like Macragge, Armatura, Iax, and Calth.[2a][3] Alongside Calth, Konor was the primary shipbuilder of Ultramar[3], and such was its importance that one of the four Tetrarchs of Ultramar was from the planet.[2b][3]

However, while its moon of Gantz was a fully-fledged Forge World, Konor itself was not granted such honour; this distinction was mainly due to politics, as Mars saw the planet as subservient to Ultramar and not the Mechanicum. As a result of this, tensions arose between the Tech-Priest factions of Konor and, during the Battle of Calth, some questioned if they should side with Warmaster Horus. This led to a long delay in reinforcements from Konor to aid the Ultramarines battling the Word Bearers. However, in the end, Konor remained true to Guilliman and sent reinforcements.[3]

Post-Heresy

Konor was reclassified as a full Forge World after the Heresy, but at some point was degraded to a mere Research Station.[3] As of 992.M41, Konor provided 53.94% of the promethium fuel for the Konor System.[6]

Following the rebirth of Roboute Guilliman and the reorganization of the Realm of Ultramar in early M42, Konor was made the headquarters of the northern reaches. It is overseen by Tetrarch Severus Agemman.[4]

By the time of the Plague Wars, Konor seemed to have formally regained its classification as a Forge World. In the course of this conflict, the Konor System was invaded by the Death Guard during the Invasion of Konor, as Mortarion intended to use the system as a staging ground in an effort to break through to the Capital of Ultramar. Konor held, however, and the invaders were repulsed due to determined resistance by its inhabitants as well as reinforcements brought by Guilliman himself.[5]
