History
In M41, the Planetary Governor, Missrine Huratal I, rose up in rebellion against the Imperium in protest of the exorbitant tithes placed on the planet by the Departmento Munitorum and Departmento Exacta in order to fuel the Macharian Crusade.[1a] In response, the Imperium sent forces to reclaim the world - a combined Battlegroup of Black Templars Space Marines and Imperial Guard forces from several planets, including Cadia, Paragon VI, Atraxia, Savlar and Bosovar.[1c]
The Imperial troops made quick headway in reclaiming several cities on the planet. However, Missrine and her cloned heir were later assassinated by Heir the Second Dostain Huratal, who had unwittingly entered into a Daemonic pact to attempt to repel the Imperium's forces sent to reclaim the world. As a result of the pact, a Chaos Space Marine warband of the Emperor's Children Traitor Legion, led by the Chaos Lord Damien Trastoon were summoned to bolster the rebels, turning the tide against the Imperial Battlegroup.[1g]
The Emperor's Children attempted to open a Warp Rift to summon Daemonic reinforcements and turn Geratomro into a Daemon World. Their plot was foiled by the Black Templars, who killed the Chaos Marines, and an armoured detachment of three Shadowsword Super Heavy Tanks that were able to destroy the warp rift.[1i]
