Lacrima Dolorosa III was an Imperial Feral and Jungle World[1b], that was the only habitable location within the Lacrima Dolorosa System. According to some ancient Administratum archives accessed in M41, its population was once more civilised before they fell to barbarism at least 10,000 years previously. Their fall, had the effect of more advanced Imperials being considered Gods by the people of Lacrima.[1a]
Doom came for the world, when a massive Hive Fleet invaded, Lacrima's System in the early years of the First Tyrannic War. It would arrive inert, however, though several Bio-ships eventually drifted near Lacrima's orbit. While an Imperial Crusade later arrived, its main goal was not to save the endangered world. In truth, the Imperium considered Lacrima's loss to be of no consequence. Especially when compared to what they could learn of their new Xenos foe, by boarding the Hive Fleet's Bio-ships[1a]. The Crusade's forces would successfully do so and were then able to escape, before the awakening Hive Fleet could retaliate. The people of Lacrima Dolorosa III, however, were left to their doom and their world was consumed by the Tyranids.[1b]
