== History ==
Located on the direct [[warp route]] between [[Fenris]] and the [[Eye of Terror]] and world of long association with the [[Space Wolves]] [[Adeptus Astartes]], '''Garm''' was named after a [[Wolf Lord]] from the earliest days of the [[Chapter]] who had given his life defending the Space Wolves' [[Primarch]], [[Leman Russ]], from an attack by [[Magnus the Red]] of the [[Thousand Sons]] [[Chaos Space Marines]]. In recognition of this act of sacrfice, Leman Russ raised a cairn to Garm upon the spot of his death, laying [[Spear of Russ|his spear]] - a weapon which had wounded Magnus - atop the memorial and reputedly entrusting it to Garm's spirit.<sup>1a</sup>

This memorial grew over time into an important [[Imperial]] Shrine, one zealously maintained and guarded by the inhabitants of the world, as well as watched over by the Space Wolves themselves. Also a place of significance to the Thousand Sons, Garm often found itself the site of battles between warriors from the two ancient foes.<sup>1a</sup> Because of these factors (and Garm's galactic location), the Space Wolves built a small outpost upon the world, one designed to act as a supply and repair base for the Chapter as well as to provide a small [[Astartes]] guard for the '''Shrine of Garm's Skull'''.<sup>1b</sup>

In more recent times, now an important factory world, Garm was struck by a swift [[Chaos]] uprising caused by various industrial cartels feeling over-taxed by the unpopular [[Planetary Governor]] and turning from the Imperial light. Upon learning of the situation, [[Logan Grimnar]] ordered the Space Wolves to mobilise a full ten [[Company|companies]] and retake the planet.<sup>1a,c</sup>
