Rhoghon is a world of the Brakatoa System and formerly the homeworld of the Crimson Sabres Space Marine Chapter. It was the site of their Fortress-Monastery, Decavitum.[1a]

History

While the Chapter was on campaign in the Veiled Regions the planet suffered a Daemonic onslaught. Subsequent explosions of the planet’s reactors, relics of the Dark Age of Technology, left the planet a blasted rad-zone, uninhabitable by human life for thousands of years.[1a]

Eventually, the Crimson Sables fell and transformed into a Chaos warband, the Crimson Slaughter. However, one faction of loyalists successfully separated from their traitorous brethren. Led by Dzarton, this group eventually returned to Rhoghon, using the Dead World as a base from where they could continue to fight against the Imperium's enemies.[1b]
