Corinthe is an Imperium Hive World that found itself under the dual threat of a tendril of Hive Fleet Moloch and the Genestealer-infested Space Hulk Bringer of Sorrow in 747.M41.[1a]

It was believed by Corinthe's government that the Bringer of Sorrow was acting as a beacon for the Hive Fleet, but its Planetary Governor knew that the System's local Astra Militarum and Imperial Navy forces were no match for the Space Hulk. In desperation, the Governor sent out a series of requests for aid and their salvation arrived in the form of the Dark Angels Strike Cruiser Vengeful Blade, commanded by Master Annas. The Dark Angels arrived mere weeks before the forerunners of the tendril of Hive Fleet Moloch reached Corinthe and several Deathwing squadrons boarded the Bringer of Sorrow.[1a] After fighting through waves of Genestealers, the Deathwing were able to overload several plasma drives aboard the Space Hulk and destroyed the Bringer of Sorrow; this stopped its psychic cry to the Hive Fleet. With the Space Hulk's threat ended, the Imperium's forces were then able to deal with the tendril of Hive Fleet Moloch.[1b]

Corinthe Mind-Scryers were used to detect that the Necron Ymga Monolith was duplicating Necron ships.[3]
