Kasr Partox is a Fortress World and is the eighth planet of the Cadian system.[1]
During the 13th Black Crusade it was assaulted by the forces of Chaos and Dark Eldar slavers, and was captured. Chaos Space Marines of the Iron Warriors Traitor Legion began the construction of a new fortress on the remains of the old, although the planet was subsequently attacked by a Blackstone Fortress with enormous casualties inflicted on both sides. An Imperial counter-attack briefly drove off the Blackstone Fortress, giving Lord Castellan Creed time to evacuate the remaining Imperial forces.[2]
