The Graven Star's symbol^[1b]

The Graven Star was a Chapter of the Word Bearers during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. Noted for its boarding operations, the chapter suffered heavy losses during the Battle of Calth. However, the Graven Star was one of the few Word Bearers unit involved in the invasion that were at least partially evacuated from Calth before the Word Bearers fleet retreated. These survivors went on to join traitor forces in the Shadow Crusade.^[1a]

However, parts of the Graven Star stayed behind on Calth, where they fought in the Underground War and were destroyed.^[2][3]

The remnants of the Graven Star later took part in the Siege of Terra.^[4]
