History
In the 13th Black Crusade, Ardium was one of the many worlds of Ultramar that were invaded by the Chaos forces of Abaddon the Despoiler. During its invasion, the Bitter Sons Warband captured one of Ardium's subterranean Hives, but the reborn Primarch Roboute Guilliman later led the Ultramarines to free the world and destroyed the Warband.[1]
Ardium was again the site of major invasion of Nurgle forces and serious fighting[5] between the Ultramarines and Chaos during the Plague Wars.[3]
