History
When the planet was attacked by Tyranids, Lord Governor Albrecht Feisler sent for aid in defending the principal Hive on the planet, Hive Gelon. Although the planet had already fallen under the Shadow in the Warp by this point, the absence of messages from Khania was noticed and a force mustered to defend the Hive. The 66th Kataran Spears Astra Militarum Regiment, along with demi-legios of the Legio Pallidus Mor and Legio Solaria Titan Legions mobilized.[1]
Unfortunately for the forces of the Imperium, the fickle nature of Warp travel meant that the ships transporting the ground troops and those of the Imperial Navy did not arrive in a coordinated fashion. The Kataran Spears were nevertheless able to make planetfall and were eventually reinforced by the Titans (which had been forced to land away from Hive Gelon and march several hundred kilometres to their objective). The Warlord Battle Titans Gloria Vastator and Augustus Secutor arrived in time to kill a Hierophant Bio-Titan and relieve the Spears.[1]
Although the Hive had been secured, Princeps Ferantha Krezoc of the Legio Pallidus Mor advised caution. Two days later the Shadow in the Warp fell over Khania again as more Bioships arrived in system.[1]
The planet's fate is currently unknown.[1]
