Voltemand was reclaimed for the Imperium early on in the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]]. It is listed as being won back by the [[Royal Volpone]] [[regiment]]s of the [[Imperial Guard]], although [[Tanith First and Only|other Guard regiments were also instrumental in securing victory]]. Commanding a route into the heart of the [[sector]], taking the world was of high importance to the Crusade. Little is known of the world's geography or planetary conditions, beyond some small mentions. ^{{Fn|1a}}

The Voltemand Mirewoods were thick, dark and dank expanses of woodland only navigable by the use of muddy, single-track lanes. Ambushes by both sides took place here. Another transport thoroughfare that proved deadly was the Metis Road, traffic along which was burned. The Metis Road and the main Mirewood track met at a location called Pavis Crossroads, which was within artillery range of Voltis City; the nut of the world and a commanding location which ensured control of everything west of the Bokore Valley. Voltemand possessed a noble class at one point in it's history, as several expansive and ornamental country estates existed by the time the Imperial Guard arrived on-planet. Another mentioned city upon the world was that of Kosdorf, reduced to runs in the fighting.^{{Fn|1a}}

While Voltis City was the capital, and the location where the [[Chaos|archenemy]] leader, Chanthar, chose to make his final stand, Kosdorf was the second city and had been so comprehensively shelled it was marked as a city grave. Some small hold-out Chaos forces had to be rooted out of there after the world's official liberation, but it was effectively a dead city.^2a{{Fn|2}}
