Tartarus was a planet besieged by Orks when Captain Gabriel Angelos, of the Blood Ravens Third Company, arrived. The Orks took most of the surrounding area, and with great effort, the Blood Ravens pushed them back. The planet had a dark history as an altar for the Blood God Khorne. Captain Angelos had to execute his own friend, Isador Akios, for turning to the forces of Chaos. The Eldar and Chaos were also on Tartarus, the Eldar to keep the avatar of Khorne sealed in an object called the Maledictum, and the forces of Chaos to release it. After Sindri Myr's death, Gabriel was pressed by Inquisitor Toth to destroy the Maledictum. Gabriel did so, and released the avatar of Khorne unto the universe.
End
Tartarus was destroyed in the same way Cyrene was. It was bombed with Cyclonic Torpedoes.
