The Spoil

Jump to: navigation, search

The Spoil was a large accumulation made up of rocks and ore-processing waste, located in Vervunhive on the planet Verghast.[1a]

A major landmark of Vervunhive, the Spoil was so massive that the hive's outer wall (built after the mound formed) had a large gap in it to accommodate the pile. This was noted as a weak spot in the hive's defences and so the Spoil had its own dedicated defence unit, a 20,000-strong division of the Vervun Primary known as the "Spoilers".[1a]

In the Siege of Vervunhive, the Spoil was attacked by the invading Ferrozoicans.[1c] Despite the efforts of the Spoilers and additional snipers and scouts of the Tanith First and Only[1b][1c], the Imperials were forced to withdraw in the face of overwhelming numbers and the Spoil was lost.[1d]
