Overview
Voss Prime was founded during the Dark Age of Technology but was reunited with Mars following a lull in Warp Storms during the Age of Strife. Thus at the time of the Great Crusade, the new Imperium found a thriving and rich world and Voss Prime has continued to churn out massive levels of armaments and technology for Mankind. Much of their wealth can be attributed to the Mordan Belt, an asteroid belt rich in resources that also has proven to be a useful defense for the planet. Nonetheless Voss has some weaknesses, it has proven unable to master Plasma technology as well as other Forge Worlds. It has not requested any aid in this, and none has been offered.[5]
Raid
The planet has been raided by Black Legion Chaos Terminators working with the mysterious Cypher. During the raid, they stole STC documents.[4]
Noctis Aeterna
During the Noctis Aeterna, Voss was assaulted by vast Daemonic hordes. While the Mordan Belt proved an effective defense against Orks from Armageddon, the forces of Chaos were not so easily blocked. It was only thanks to their ability to rapidly repair their Cybernetica and Servitors that Voss endured.[5]
Voss Patterns
Voss is known to have its own patterns of Autopistols and aircraft.[1] In times of Great Crusade, it was also the center of mass production of Malcador super-heavy tanks.[3] Voss pattern technology is much revered across the Imperium.[5]
