Capital world of the Diamor System and seat of the Imperial Commander Tourmalid maintains 3 shipyards and an orbital fortress[1] — the relic from the Great Crusade, that occupied a half-planet.[2a]
It was a center of the Imperium commandment during the Diamor Campaign when Lord Admiral Gordus took up commanding of all defence forces of the System.[1] During the end phase of Diamor Campaign the planet itself was attacked by the forces of the Chaos. Firstly the Black Legion ships started to attack other planet of System — Peridos — and the haul ships carrying food suplies from Peridot to all other planet of the System. The fleet of Tourmalid rush to help and that battle distracted them from the main fighting for Amethal planet.[2b]
Then the Tourmalid itself was striked by the hidden Chaos Cultists that rose up amongst its populace. The fighting was supported by Terminators of the Word Bearers. Due to actions of the evil Cultists and Chaos Space Marines, mayhem engulfed the Tourmalid’s naval yards. Many warships, that was repaired in dry-docks, were destroyed completely. The muster of Tourmalid was crushed, and, before the Word Bearers Terminators could finally be killed, the Blood Angels of the Honour Guard, sent by Karlaen to defend the planetary governor, were fallen to the last brother, selling their lives to save that of Lord Admiral Gordus. By the time when the forces of Chaos were surrounded and destroyed, battle for Amethal was ended, so no reserves could be sent from Tourmalid in time.[2b]
