History
Prandium is classified under Dead World. It was once part of the Ultramarines empire of Ultramar located within the Ultima Segmentum.
Originally an agri-world that supplied consumables to the rest of the sector, Prandium was colonized by explorers from Macragge in the years following the Horus Heresy. The planet quickly became the "jewel" of Ultramar and prospered for thousands of years until attacked and consumed by Hive Fleet Behemoth in 745 M41.
The current state of the former agri-world is one devoid of all life. The Tyranids were so thorough that even Prandium's atmosphere was consumed for what ever biomass it contained. The Ultramarines, led by Marneus Calgar, mounted a defence of the planet, but even the might of the space marines were no match for the endless tide of Tyranids and were forced to retreat to orbit.
Over two hundred years later the Ultramarines still consider their failure at Prandium a great blemish on their honour. The now barren rock of Prandium stands as a silent reminder of the merciless destruction that the Tyranids are capable of.
In all, four worlds were consumed before the might of Hive Fleet Behemoth was driven back at the Battle for Macragge; Valos, Tyran, Thandros with Prandium being the last.
