Solar Mariatus is the tenth planet of the Cadian System.[1b]
It was invaded by the forces of both the Black Legion and The Foresworn (a World Eaters warband led by the Chaos Lord Kossolax the Foresworn) when they entered the Cadian System in the 13th Black Crusade.[1a]
Reinforcements for the beleaguered world were later lost forever when they entered a Warp Storm that was suddenly created above the world by a Chaos ritual completed by Abaddon's Sorcerers.[2] Without reinforcements, Solar Mariatus fell to its invaders and it was later used by the forces of Chaos to establish a forward base of operations as they continued to advance towards Cadia.[1a]
After its fall, Solar Mariatus melded with Kasr Partox to create a new Daemon World.[5]
