Gudrun is the former capital of the Helican subsector and has been the home to human settlers for 3,500 years.^[1]

The planet is ruled by a feudal system of noble patronage which extends even beyond its own star system into neighboring worlds. It is the recruiting ground for the Gudrunite Rifles regiments of the Imperial Guard. A founding of a new regiment is always a cause for a planet-wide celebration.^[2]

History

Once the capital of the Helican Sector, in 241.M41 one of the preeminent noble houses on Gudrun — House Glaw — was found to be pervaded by a Chaos cult. Once this came to be known the noble house was destroyed. The damage caused to the reputation and prestige of Gudrun led to the relocation of Sector Headquarters to Thracian Primaris.^[Help]

Sometime after the Great Rift's creation, Gudrun has been invaded by the forces of Chaos and the Imperium now fights to save the world.^[3] It was among the Imperial worlds, that the Brazen Claws aided in defending, in the aftermath of the Great Rift's creation.^[4]

Conflicting Sources

White Dwarf 287 (UK)^[2] states this world as being part of the Thracian Primaris System, but this is a mistake. Battlefleet Gothic: Armada (Book)^[5], a later White Dwarf 291 (UK)^[6] and the 2003 Eye of Terror Worldwide event^[7] all place the world within the Scarus Sector, but outside that system.
