'''Signus Prime''' was the main planet of the [[Signus Cluster]], a trinary star system of seven [[Hive World]]s and fifteen moons.
==History==
Once a major industrial center, the System of Signus fell prey to the agents of [[Chaos]] during the dark days of the [[Horus Heresy]]. It became a [[Realm of Chaos]], a system of [[Daemon World]]s, under the rule of [[Kyriss the Perverse]], [[Greater Daemon]] of [[Slaanesh]]. Kyriss raised for itself a vast palace on Signus Prime, the [[Cathedral of the Mark]], and its [[daemon]]ic horde rampaged across the system, utterly destroying hundreds of years of civilization and annihilating several planets. The entire populace was either butchered, enslaved, or corrupted, and all hope fled its inhabitants. Deliverance came, ironically, in the form of [[Sanguinius]] and the [[Blood Angels]] [[Space Marine Legion]], sent by the [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]] to what was supposed to be their doom.{{Fn|1a}}
