Oldarian is a world of the Imperium and was the site of the massacre of Battlefleet Aquinas, by Huron Blackheart and his Red Corsairs.[1]

History

Huron Blackheart led a large force of the Corsairs in attacking the Battlefleet as they were still mustering above the planet. With the Battlefleet caught off guard, the Corsairs manged to destroy a number of the Battlefleet's ships before they could regroup and return fire. Despite the Battlefleet's counter attack, the end of the battle came when the Corsairs' Strike Cruiser the Wolf of Fenris, launched boarding torpedoes into the Battleship the Chosen of Thor. From the torpedoes emerged Huron himself, who led the Corsairs in a boarding attack that destroyed the Chosen of Thor's reactors, taking the powerful ship out of the battle.[1]

With the Chosen of Thor gone, the rest of the Battlefleet soon fell under the Corsairs' fire, though some ships managed to flee the massacre. Many feel they were allowed to live, however, in order to bring word of Huron's personal message to the rest of the Imperium - "Your Empire is dead".[1]
