'''Quintarn''' is an [[Imperial]] [[Agri World]], one of the nine worlds of [[Ultramar]]. Quintarn and its sister planets of [[Tarentus]] and [[Masali]] are collectively referred to as "The [[Three Planets]]."{{Fn|1}}
==Geography and History==
Unusually for Agri Worlds, the Three Planets are largely desert, but feature hundreds of dome-enclosed cities, with vast water traps, capturing moisture from the atmosphere and storing it underground.{{Fn|1a1}}{{Cite This}} These cities support arable land and hydroponic cultivation that make Quintarn one of the most productive Agri Worlds in the [[Imperium]], supplying foodstuffs to the rest of Ultramar, and many other planets beyond.{{Fn|3a}}
The Three Planets were captured by [[Ork]] scavangers scavengers just after the battle against [[Hive Fleet Behemoth]] in 745.[[M41]]. [[Marneus Calgar]] led the forces of the [[Ultramarines]] to reconquer them{{Cite This}}.
During the [[Invasion of Ultramar]] in 854999.[[M41]], by the [[Chaos]] warband known as the [[Bloodborn]], Quintarn was invaded by the forces of the [[Dark Mechanicus]] Priest [[Votheer Tark]]{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|3a}}.
