'''Subiaco Diablo''' is an [[Imperial]] [[Hive World]]{{Fn|1b}} and is home to the Convent of the [[Adepta Sororitas]]' [[Order of the Ermine Mantle]].{{Fn|3}}
==History==
In late [[M41]], the [[Curse of Unbelief]] began to spread across Subiaco Diablo and many other [[Segmentum Obscurus]] worlds, in what many feared was the beginning of another [[Black Crusade]].{{Fn|1a}} They were [[13th Black Crusade|proven correct]]{{Fn|3}} as Diablo's dead began rising as [[Plague Zombie]]s from morgues and the burial grounds outside of all of its [[Hive]]s. Though slow and ponderous, the undead's sheer weight of numbers overran Diablo's defenders three days later.{{Fn|1a}} Among them were the [[Order of the Ermine Mantle]] and many of its [[Adepta Sororitas]] died in battle against the Plague Zombies.{{Fn|3}} The [[Cadian 412th]] and [[Cadian 616th|616th]] also fought there and had been assigned to defend '''Hive Septus''', the only Hive the [[Guardsmen]] believed to be still fighting against the undead hordes. The defense of the Hive itself was left to the 412th, while the 616th fought the Plague Zombies in the surrounding wasteland outside of Septus. Eventually, though, the undead attacked in such massive numbers that the 616th was completely destroyed, save for one surviving [[Guardsman]] who made it back into the Hive.{{Fn|1a}}

The [[Cadian 412th]] fared little better, as the [[Curse of Unbelief]] spread amongst '''Hive Septus'''' population and created [[Plague Zombie]]s. The undead also poured in from the surrounding wasteland and the [[Hive]] was soon overrun.{{Fn|1a}} The Cadians were then given the order to evacuate and the remnants of the Cadian 412th and the surviving [[Cadian 616th|616th]] [[Guardsman]], retreated into Septus' '''Shuttleport Epsilon''' to await extraction. As they did so, the Cadians continued to fight the hoards of Plague Zombies, as well as [[cultists]] and [[daemon]]s of [[Nurgle]], who were led by the [[Plague Marine]] [[Korpharact|Korpharact the Contaminated]]. Just as the port was being overrun, shuttles from [[Astra Militarum]] troop ships in orbit, arrived to ferry the 616th Guardsman and the survivors of the 412th to safety.{{Fn|1b}} Sometime later, however, the Plague Zombie hordes were destroyed by the [[Imperium]] and Subiaco Diablo was reclaimed.{{Fn|3}}
