==Constantinus Iconoclasm==
In the wake of a war against the an infesting [[TyranidsGenestealer Cult]]<sup>3</sup>, Nova Terra was plunged into anarchy by the renegade [[Space Marine]] [[Constantinus|Constantinus the Liberator]], who renamed the world '''Constantinium'''. Following Constantinus' fall to [[Chaos]] and the addition of several [[Chaos Space Marine]] warbands to his forces, he began a war of conquest in the surrounding Viridis [[sector]]which he eventually conquered after a campaign lasting ten years. <sup>3</sup> Ultimately, Imperial forces led by the [[Iron Knights]] Chapter<sup>3</sup> were sent to stabilize the area and reconquer the planetsector. Their campaign lasted 13 years and culminated with the death of Constantinus.<sup>1</sup>
Despite the Imperium's efforts, pockets of resistance still loyal to Constantinus have survived in the volcanic plateaus of the world.<sup>1</sup> In the late [[M41|41st millennium]] Constantinium still serves as a stronghold , now renamed Nova Terra, has been reclaimed for [[Chaos]] forcesthe Imperium.<sup>2b3</sup>
