Crows World,[3a] formerly Fief 771/38/qz,[2a] is a Civilized World of the Imperium, located in the Pale Stars.[3a]
History
In the Great Crusade, the planet was conquered by the 771st Expedition Fleet (which included Raven Guard elements).[2b] It was officially designated "Fief 771/38/qz" and assigned as a Adeptus Astartes Recruiting World to the Raven Guard Legion.[2a] It held this status at least until the Horus Heresy when the Pale Stars were devastated by Loyalists, Traitors, and other forces.[2a][2c] At some point after the Horus Heresy, the planet became known as "Crows World".[1][3a]
At one point, the system of Crows World was the site of a brief campaign for the Ultramarines Chapter against Eldar pirates. After the Xenos were defeated, the Ultramarines took Aspirants from Crows World.[1]
By M41, Crows World was a Civilized World.[3a] In the Badab War, the planet was initially held by secessionists and garrisoned by the Tyrant's Legion. In 907.M41, Crows World was attacked by the loyalist Minotaurs who destroyed the local secessionist force and massacred parts of the planet's civilian population.[3b] After this point, the planet was effectively under loyalist control.[3c]

Notes
- There might be a connection between Crows World and the planet Crowe's World near the Draconic Arm. However, Crows World is close to The Maelstrom, while Crowe's World native Janus Darke said that the planet he grew up on had a night sky unaffected by Warp Storms.[4]
