Nimbosa is an Industrial World of the Imperium and one of the most important Imperial worlds along their border with the T'au Empire[1]

As a hub of Imperial manufacturing and activity in the sector, the T'au were quick to assault Nimbosa during their Second Sphere of Expansion.[1] One of the battles was the infamous Koloth Gorge Massacre, where the T'au Commander Brightsword mercilessly ordered his troops to kill all of the human warriors, an act of such cruelty that he was later summoned back to T'au to answer for his deeds.[2]

Though the T'au captured the world initially from Vostroyan Firstborn Imperial Guard, it was retaken by the Black Templars during the Nimbosa Crusade.[1]
