The Pale Wasting was a mysterious event that took place in the Ghoul Stars during the Nova Terra Interregnum in M34. What exactly the Pale Wastings was remains unclear, as the Inquisition purged records of the time and remaining reports are often contradictory. What is known is that the threat was described as a "star-spawned" plague that swept across worlds with "nightmare-engines".[1]

The ensuing battle to destroy the threat was described as "apocalyptic" and the Novamarines in particular are noted for their valor in the conflict. Eleven other Space Marine Chapters were destroyed in the war against the ancient threat.[1]
