Mordax Prime[6] or Mordax was a Forge World of the Imperium[2] that was invaded during the 13th Black Crusade.[1] Captured during the Green Kroosade, it is now an Ork World called Moredakka and infested with Deathskull lootas and survivors report of hundreds of Gargants being built all across the planet.[1]
History
During the invasion, the Chaos Cruisers Bloodshrike, Cackling Hate and Azrubael broke through a running battle with the Imperium's forces near Mordax Prime, and on Abaddon's orders bombarded its major cities for two hours. The attacks, which were aimed at terrorizing the populace and severing the Imperium's supply lines, caused millions of deaths.[7]
Conflicting Sources
White Dwarf 287 (UK)[1] states this world as being part of the Thracian Primaris System, but this is a mistake. Battlefleet Gothic: Armada (Book)[2], a later White Dwarf 291 (UK)[4] and the 2003 Eye of Terror Worldwide event[5] all place the world within the Scarus Sector, but outside that system.
