==History==
'''Prandium''' is a planet classified under [[Dead World]] and is part of the [[Ultramarines]] empire of [[Ultramar]] located within the [[Ultima Segmentum]].<sup>1</sup> Once considered the most beautiful world in Ultramar by members of the Ultramarines, Prandium was used to stage a mock battle between Ultramarines impersonating the tactics and appearance of the [[World Eaters]] and forces lead by Remus Ventanus, Captain of the Ultramarines 4th Company. The intention of this mock battle was to test the efficiency of an early version of the [[Codex Astartes]] against the unique tactics of the World Eaters Legion. Although the worth of the Codex was proven by Ventantus' success, the battle left swathes of Prandium in ruins and a shadow of its former self.<sup>2</sup>
After the end of the Heresy, Prandium recovered becoming an [[Agri-World]] that supplied consumables to the rest of the [[Sector]]. Over time the planet reclaimed its former beauty and once again became known as the "jewel in Ultramar's crown" prospering for thousands of years until attacked and consumed by [[Hive Fleet Behemoth]] in 745 [[M41]].<sup>3</sup>
The current state of the former agri-world is one devoid of all life. The Tyranids were so thorough that even Prandium's atmosphere was consumed for what ever biomass it contained. The Ultramarines, led by [[Marneus Calgar]], mounted a defence of the planet, but even the might of the space marines were no match for the endless tide of Tyranids and were forced to retreat to orbit. Over two hundred years later the Ultramarines still consider their failure at Prandium a great blemish on their honour.{{Cite This}}<sup>4</sup> ==See Also==*[[Planets (List)]]
