Kalidus is a smog-choked Imperium world that was saved by the Primarch Leman Russ and the Space Wolves Legion after it suffered a Daemonic incursion during the Great Crusade.[1a]
Ever since the Space Wolves saved their world, the population of Kalidus have been devoted scions of the Imperium and Russ' personal standard is still proudly displayed in the Imperial Governor's palace. In late M41, the Space Wolves still remember their Primarch's history with Kalidus and when the Genestealer infested Space Hulk Scion of Darkness appeared near the world, the Chapter dispatched a fleet to save it. Led by the Wolf Lord Volund, the fleet attacked the Space Hulk in order to destroy before it reached Kalidus; but the Scion of Darkness' force shields protected it from any damage. After some consideration, Volund decided that his Wolf Guard would have to be inserted into the Space Hulk and deactivate the terminals powering the force shields.[1a] Though only a single squad, led by Pack Leader Tarl, boarded the Scion of Darkness[1b], Volund's Wolf Guard succeeded in disabling its force shields and the Space Hulk was destroyed by the Space Wolves' fleet.[1c]
