Ademasta Kraiya was a Tank Commander of the Sons of Horus Legion, during the Horus Heresy.[1b]

History

He was among the Sons of Horus forces,[1b] that the Chief Apothecary Vardesh Kraiya commanded on Luna, as the Siege of Terra was being fought. However, the Siege ended with the Imperium victorious and Warmaster Horus dead at the Emperor's hands. The Warmaster's death caused the Traitors to retreat from Terra and the arrival of numerous Imperial warships ended any chance of Vardesh's forces escaping from Luna.[1a] The Imperium soon launched an attack to reclaim the moon and while they paid a heavy price, the Loyalists began to overwhelm the Traitors. This led Ademasta and many of Vardesh's other surviving forces to retreat, in order to defend Luna's Somnus Citadel. But despite their efforts,[1b] the fortress fell and Luna was reclaimed by the Imperium afterwards.[1c]

Trivia

Though Ademasta Kraiya and Vardesh Kraiya have the same last name, it is not mentioned if they are somehow related.[1b]
