Heart of Terra
The Heart of Terra was a Space Hulk infested with Tyranid Genestealers. A Deathwatch Kill-Team that included Nergui and an unnamed Librarian (originally of the Lamenters Chapter) were given the mission to cleanse the hulk.[1]
Prior to the mission, the Librarian had a prophetic dream that he would die on Terra. After receiving the mission, he understood what the vision actually meant. He ultimately sacrificed himself by holding the genestealers back to allow his kill-teammates to withdraw to a defensible position.[1]
It is unknown whether the mission was successful or not.
Notes
It is unknown whether this Space Hulk is related to another ship of the same name that was involved on the traitor's side on the Siege of Terra. This spaceship would be seen ten thousand years later during a battle involving the Black Legion and Night Lords in the Crythe system.[2]
