Odyssean is an Imperial world, that lies within the Realm of Ultramar.[1]
Plague Wars
Odyssean once possessed an orbital Starport. During the Plague Wars, this Starport was invaded by Typhus the Traveler and the Death Guard's Harbingers Plague Company, who overwhelmed its defenders. When it became obvious the Starport would fall, Odyssean's Planetary Commander attempted to initiate its self-destruct sequence, before the invaders could claim it. However the numerous diseases the Harbingers had unleashed rapidly decayed the Starport and caused the self-destruct sequence to fail.[1]
Soon afterwards, the Harbingers had slain most of the Starport's defenders, including the Space Marines and Ultramarian Auxiliaries who had fought to the last. Typhus then ordered explosives to be placed, so that the Starport would fall onto Odyssean, which was below them. The Starport's defiant Commander was also brought to Typhus and cursed them, before proclaiming that Lord Commander Guilliman would be the doom of the Death Guard.[1]
This led Typhus to begin placing one of Nurgle's blessings upon the Commander, but before he could do so the Commander began convulsing. The Commander's body then rapidly decayed, but Typhus could see that he was still somehow alive. The being responsible for this revealed itself to be the Exalted Herald of Nurgle Mollucos, who emerged from the Commander's body. The Daemon bore a message from Nurgle, who demanded Typhus to immediately aid his Daemon Primarch Mortarion's war efforts, by invading the Star Fort Galatan. Typhus refused at first, but Mollucos stated his disobedience would earn him Nurgle's eternal wrath. The Daemon then told Typhus to choose well, before departing back to the Warp. This allowed the Starport's Commander to finally die and an enraged Typhus agreed to invade Galatan. He then told the Harbingers to return to their ships, and began preparing for the upcoming battle.[1]
