Beta-Garmon III is a world of the Beta-Garmon Star Cluster.

The most heavily populated world of the Beta-Garmon Star Cluster, the planet is soaked in an endless toxic malestrom. The largest Hive on the planet is Caldera Primus, its spires hanging over a boiling chemical geyser and protected by a web of heavily fortified drawbridges. Its wealth comes from storm-sail miners and hive industries. However, the most vital asset of the planet is the Carthega Telepathica or Diviner's Needle, an enormous Astropathic temple which nearly breaches Beta-Garmon III's atmosphere. The temple serves as the primary communications hub for the Beta-Garmon Star Cluster.[1]

During the Horus Heresy, the world was the site of heavily fighting in the massive Battle of Beta-Garmon. These included the loyalists of the Legio Solaria and Legio Defensor clashing with the Legio Fureans and vast hordes of traitor Imperial Army. However, at the height of the battle it became apparent that instead of Beta-Garmon II, Beta-Garmon III was the true target of Horus' offensive and he assailed the world with the might of the Sons of Horus as well as 100 Titan's of the Legio Mortis. During the fighting the Carthega Telepathica collapsed, decimating Imperial forces.[2]
