Vespertine is a world of the galaxy.^[1a]

History

At some point in M41, Vespertine became a battleground between the Ultramarines (including elements of the Eighth Company, most notably Squad Sicarius) and the forces of the T'au Empire.^[1a]

The T'au on the planet were overwhelmed and defeated, partly due to the swiftness of the Imperial attack^[1a] and partly because the majority of the T'au Battlesuits deployed in Vespertine's defence were equipped with weapons geared for fighting massed infantry - these arms were largely unable to penetrate the Space Marines' Power Armour.^[1b]

Trivia

The following information is not to be regarded as officially sanctioned and/ or is not written from an in-universe point of view. A detailed explanation of the term "Trivia" as used in the Lexicanum can be found here.

Notes

• Note 1: The T'au Empire is located in the Ultima Segmentum, so it is likely that Vespertine is in that Segmentum given that they were contesting this planet. This is unconfirmed in the source, however.
