Ootheca was the Homeworld of the Mantis Warriors Chapter.[1]
The world was confiscated from them, however, after the Badab War when the Mantis Warriors were sentenced to a 100-year Penitent Crusade.[1] Ootheca has since been ceded to the Carcharodons Chapter.[2]
Trivia
- An "ootheca" is an egg capsule used by certain kinds of insects, including praying mantises — appropriate for the original homeworld of the Mantis Warriors.
