History
Founded in a M35 the Marines Mordant fought against a numerous enemies of Imperium including the Ork Empire of Octarius. In M41 they were undergoing a hundred year penance Crusade through the Tempest Hippocrene.[1] In the last years of M41, during their fight against Hive Fleet Leviathan, their Battle Barge Assiduous suffered serious battle damage and the Marines Mordant lost two companies of battle-brothers.[2a]
Later their homeworld of Vitrea Mundi fell victim to a force of Alpha Legion warbands under the command of Harrowmaster Quetzel Carthach. The Vitrea Mundi PDF revealed their treachery, unleashing a chemical attack that induced mass panic and bloated out the planet's sun. Chapter Master Tarro Pallidax agreed to open the gates of Fortress-Monastery Bas-Silica to help the panicking refugees, but this was a ruse by Alpha Legion forces who stormed the citadel. However the Marines inside lowered the Void Shields of the Fortress, allowing the orbiting Battle Barge Assiduous to unleash a orbital bombardment that annihilated both sides.[2c]
