Moloch I is a Dead World that was destroyed by Tyranids.[1]
Before the Tyranid invasion Moloch I, along with Moloch II and Moloch III, was a Mining World of the Imperium that held substantial mineral wealth and held several large colonies. After less than seventy two hours from when the first Mycetic Spore landed on its surface, its population was wiped out. The Crownstar mines in particular became a charnel house once the Tyranids found the thousands of mining families hidden within them.[1]
With Moloch II also falling to the unrelenting swarm, Moloch III was the only Imperial world left in the system and its Planetary Governor ordered feverish preparations to begin to resist the planet's imminent invasion.[1]
