In 936.M41, the planet withheld its Tithe from the Adeptus Terra, resulting in an Departmento Munitorum investigation team escorted by Death Korps of Krieg troops landing on the planet to investigate its insubordination. After the Munitorum officials were hanged, the Krieg forces deployed in the towering mountains that overlooked the planet's primary Hive, launching a fierce artillery bombardment of the city' spires. Trapped inhabitants attempting to flee were mercilessly cut down by the Guardsmen. After five years of relentless shelling, the hive surrendered. Ignoring this, the Krieg bombarded the city for another five years, despite the fact that all signs of life within the city had ceased after only three.[1]
