Hypnoth was a Forge World of the Imperium.[1]
History
In 585.M40, it was the site of a vicious Eldar attack after the Imperial Fists delivered the captured Iyanden warship Blood of Khaine to its shipyards.[2]
In 911.M41, it fell in the Siege of Hypnoth to the Necron Sautekh Dynasty under Imotekh the Stormlord.[1] The Necrons released a technophagic virus that destroyed the Adeptus Mechanicus defences and ultimately led to the planet's dramatic fall. Lector Dogmatis Videx would witness the planet's fall and subsequently harbor a fanatical desire to destroy the works of the Xenos due to the horror and rage he felt from witnessing the world's annihilation.[4]
