History
In 771.M41[1b], during the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, Warmaster Macaroth's offensive on the Cabal System stalled. This left the Crusade's forces overextended, allowing the Chaos Warlord Orlock Gaur to lead attacks on multiple planets along the Crusade's coreward flank in an effort to disrupt the Crusade's supply lines. Macaroth was forced to hastily redeploy significant elements of the Crusade's spinward flank to open up new supply lines. Ariadne was one of the worlds targeted for this risky strategy, due to its solid fuel reserves.[1a]

Notes
- Note 1: This is the position on the galactic map of Urdesh[2][3], a Forge World located in the Sabbat Worlds.[1a] Given the size of a sector of space relative to the galaxy, it is reasonable to presume that the rest of the Sabbat Worlds would be in roughly the same position as well.
