History

During the Horus Heresy, the planet willingly joined the Traitor cause. In the subsequent Great Scouring it was the site of a major battle as Rogal Dorn personally led his Imperial Fists against Perturabo's Iron Warriors.[2b] After the battle, Dorn declared that the world would never be rebuilt as a testament to its crimes, the laxity of faith, and a reminder to the sacrifices of the Imperial Fists. A shard of Rogal Dorn's armour remained on the planet after the battle.[2a]

Ten thousand years later, Hevaran remained a "ruinworld" with an impoverished population.[2c] After the Great Rift, the planet fell into anarchy and came under the control of Iron Warriors led by the Warsmith Torven Vakra. However a group of loyalist pilgrims still waged a desperate guerrilla struggle against the traitors until a group of Black Templars under High Marshal Helbrecht arrived in search of the lost shard of Dorn's armour.[2c] In the subsequent battle, the Black Templars and remaining loyal pilgrims were able to defeat the Iron Warriors and liberate the planet once more.[2d]
