Tanith was a planet in the Sabbat Worlds cluster of Segmentum Pacificus. The planet's Imperial governor was known as the Elector, and he ruled from the hive city of Tanith Magna.

Tanith was renowned for its forests of nal-trees, which were said to come alive and move around; nal-wood was also used in crafting. The Tanith honed their later-renowned skills in stealth tactics in these forests, learning how to move in the ever-changing woodlands.

On his deathbed, Warmaster Slaydo, commander of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, bestowed upon Ibram Gaunt - a commissar who had fought with distinction at Balhaut - the rank of Colonel-Commissar and dispatched him to Tanith to raise three regiments for the Crusade. Before they could be fully mustered, however, Tanith came under attack by the forces of Chaos. Forced to act, Gaunt evacuated enough men for a single regiment - which became known as the Tanith First and Only, or Gaunt's Ghosts - from Tanith before it was put to the flame.
