Overview
In 987.M37, the entire Ravenwing of the Dark Angels deployed to the planet in search of the Fallen Angel Solas. However, their quarry evaded them, seemingly with the aid of Cypher.[2] In the final stages of the Gothic War, Picus was the centre of naval fighting between Eldar Hellebore frigates and Imperial Navy forces, that saw both the Sword of Orion and Fortitude wrecked.[1b]
