Uraniborg 1572 was a former Forge World of the Imperium, now held by the Dark Mechanicum.[1]
The Forge World was taken by the techno-heretic Votheer Tark, after he instigated a rebellion that caught the overseers of the planet off guard. With his forces and the aid of the once loyal Legio Serpentes, he was able to end any resistance within days of the rebellion. Uraniborg 1572 is now a hell-forge for the Dark Mechanicum.[1]
Trivia
The planet is possibly named for the Uraniborg observatory, constructed in Scandinavia in the late 1500's by the astronomer Tycho Brahe.
