Nova Terra, formerly known as Constantinium, is an Imperial world in the Segmentum Pacificus2b. It is best known for having sworn off the reign of the Imperium twice in history: in the age known as the Nova Terra Interregnum and the Constaninus Iconoclasm and having been returned to the Imperium both times.3

Nova Terra Interregnum
In the early 35st millennium the Ur-council of Nova Terra declared themselves independent from the High Lords of Terra and claimed rule of the Segmentum Pacificus. Their reign became known as the Nova Terra Interregnum and lasted for nine centuries. It ended with the outbreak of the religious wars with the Ecclesiarchy known as the Cataclysm of Souls.2
Constantinus Iconoclasm
In the wake of a war against an infesting Genestealer Cult3, Nova Terra was plunged into anarchy by the renegade Space Marine Constantinus the Liberator, who renamed the world Constantinium. Following Constantinus' fall to Chaos and the addition of several Chaos Space Marine warbands to his forces, he began a war of conquest in the surrounding Viridis sector which he eventually conquered after a campaign lasting ten years.3 Ultimately, Imperial forces led by the Iron Knights Chapter3 were sent to stabilize the area and reconquer the sector. Their campaign lasted 13 years and culminated with the death of Constantinus.1
Despite the Imperium's efforts, pockets of resistance still loyal to Constantinus have survived in the volcanic plateaus of the world.1 In the late 41st millennium Constantinium, now renamed Nova Terra, has been reclaimed for the Imperium.3
