Cyclothrathe was a former Forge World of the Imperium, before its Archmagos, Draykavac, sided with Horus during the Heresy.[1]
Overview
Cyclothrathe is a rocky world barely capable of sustaining life, wracked by violent electromagnetic storms. Once a planet belonging to a long-defeated xenos empire known as the Mitu Conglomerate, it was part of the semi-autonomous Mechanicum Cyclothrathine Holdfast before the Horus Heresy.[2]
Its northern continent was dominated by the Cyclopean Mind, a massive crashed Mechanicum war barge. The forge world's isolation led its ruling Archmagos, Draykavac, to become increasingly isolationist and secretive, which helped in their decision to side with Horus during the Heresy.[2]
Cyclothrathe was one of the largest and most significant forge worlds during the Heresy era, with considerable control of much of the Imperium's northern reaches. Under Horus' patronage they embraced any and all forbidden technology. Cyclothrathe's Taghmata was controlled by Archmagos Draykavac. They specialised in the use of profane automata and Knights augmented with devices whose operation often proved as dangerous to allies as it was to the enemy.[3]
