Altaneum is an Ocean World.[1]
History
During the Great Crusade, the Emperor of Mankind led a force including the Emperor's Children and Luna Wolves primarchs, Fulgrim and Horus, to the planet. The inhabitants of Altaneum refused to recognize the Emperor as their master and fought against compliance, eventually melting the polar ice caps to drown their world and deny it to the Imperium.[1]
Fulgrim would later relate the fate of Altaneum to Solomon Demeter on the surface of Twenty-Eight-Four and that the Emperor had told him and Horus not to make such a mistake again, because a wasteland of a galaxy would be a worthless prize.[1]
