Adrantis Five was a human, hyper-technical planet which had been separated from the Imperium for over five thousand years. It was conquered by Lord Commander Solar Macharius during the Macharian Crusade in the Segmentum Pacificus.[1]
The planet's population were hyper-advanced, and when Macharius arrived he said that they had "turned to the dark certainties of science, and created many new and wondrous machines". General Tarka and his 3rd Army Group fought for the planet and over a 95% of its forces.[2] Even so, Macharius still had to conquer it. He was held at bay for two years until the planet finally succumbed to a redirected comet[1] so nothing remain of it now - to the much sorrow of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Still the Inquisition knows a much different story about the fall of Adrantis Five.[2]
"Of its secrets, nothing now remains" were the last words of Macharius on the subject.[Needs Citation]
