Urlon IV is a rain-soaked Hive World of the Imperium.[1]

History

When a Hive was seized by the pain-cult of Morthrax the Sadist and its inhabitants were being systematically butchered, the forces of the Imperium laid siege to the Hive in order to reclaim it. Imperial Guard Regiments and strike forces from two separate Space Marine Chapters attempted to break the siege and enter the Hive, all the while being attacked by hordes of monstrously twisted creatures created from the Hive's inhabitants by the Sadist's surgeons. It was during the siege that the Raven Guard arrived and assembled several strike teams to knock out the Hive's geothermal power stations, which would allow the Imperium's forces to enter the Hive.[1]

Kayvaan Shrike, then a Scout in his Chapter, was part of one those strike teams and was inserted with his Scout squadron deep behind enemy lines via a Drop Pod. However, disaster struck almost immediately when one of the Sadist's many-limbed creatures pounced and tore the Sergeant leading the squadron apart. After the Sergeant's death, Shrike took command and led the squadron into the Hive; over the next month they destroyed many of the Sadist's flesh-forges, before finally bringing down Morthrax himself with a storm of sniper fire. With the Sadist's death, the Imperium's forces were able to reclaim the Hive and Shrike was honoured by his Chapter by being fully elevated to a Battle Brother.[1]
