History

During the Great Crusade, the world was garrisoned by a force of Blood Angels who oversaw a productive mining operation. Ultimately joined by Iron Hands allies in the Horus Heresy, they fought their former Sons of Horus brothers to mutual annihilation during the Death of Canopus, when the Iron Hands detonated a nuclear weapon to destroy both armies.[2]
