'''Colchis''' was the original [[homeworld]] of the [[Word Bearers]]. After the [[Horus Heresy]], it was bombed into submission from orbit and because of its unique geological makeup, the entire planet fractured and exploded. The location is a secret guarded by the [[Inquisition]].<sup>1</sup>
It was originally a technologically advanced world but it regressed to a feudal state, prior to the arrival of [[Lorgar]]. Lorgar brought the planet into the [[Imperium]], granting it access to advanced technology and society. Under Lorgar’s brief rule the planet prospered but when the [[Emperor]] took Lorgar away, the planet plummeted back to a feudal state. When the [[Ultramarines]] returned to Colchis to purge it after the Horus Heresy they found a collapsed world. All of the industries were destroyed and people barely clung on to life. The Inquisition ordered the cleansing by the use of [[cyclonic torpedoes]], disrupting Colchis' delicate geological structure, and thereby triggering a catestrophic explosion that annihilated the planet.<sup>1</sup>
