K7-75

K7-75 was a sinkhole on the planet Caligula, located around forty kilometres north-northeast of Nero Hive.^[1]

One of many such depressions in the surface of Caligula, K7-75 was around a kilometre deep and with an eight-kilometre radius. The sinkhole was large enough to sustain its own isolated ecosystem, a forest with fungoid trees, which were farmed by the Imperial settlers that lived nearby before the forces of Chaos overran the Sabbat Worlds.^[1]

In the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, Imperial military forces launched an assault to retake Caligula. As the Astra Militarum troop-ships were descending on Caligula, a psychic storm erupted over Nero Hive which brought down a number of vessels and prevented reinforcements from landing. One troop-ship carrying elements of the Tanith First and Only, including Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt and Major Elim Rawne, crash-landed in K7-75 and, although the survivors were able to make it off Caligula, they were effectively unable to contribute to the battles in Nero.^[1]
