Nove Shendak is an Imperial world that was brought into compliance during the Great Crusade. It was originally inhabited by a species of Xenos that were described as giant intelligent worms. [1]
The worms were described as longer than a Primarch is tall and thick as a man. They had three mouths and a dozen of teeth in each mouth. They communicated with sonic screams and psychic whispers as they burrowed through the mud of the planet. The worms were space travelers and had colonized three other worlds that were purged by the Imperium prior to the battle to bringing Nove Shendak to compliance. The worms used implanted filaments to conduct energies out of their bodies as their primary weapon. The planet was also inhabited by primitive humans, harvested as cattle by the worms. [1]
Known to the Great Crusade as World Eight-Two-Seventeen, it was conquered by forces from the World Eaters Legion, then known as the War Hounds, forces from the Iron Warriors, Imperial Army and both the Primarch Perturabo and the Emperor of Mankind himself. [1]
