Kathur was the source of a massive outbreak of [[Zombie Plague]] during the [[13th Black Crusade]]. A beacon of faith, Kathur was a memorial to an [[Imperial Saint ]] of the same name. Hearing of Kathurs Kathur's fate, the Imperium pulled back several regiments [[regiment]]s back from the front line of the Black Crusade , which had originally been tasked to retake [[Cadia]]. They were assisted by half a [[company ]] of the [[Raven Guard]] [[Astartes ]] and forces of the [[Inquisition]]. This action was known as the [[Kathurite Reclamation]].

The initial spearhead of the reclamation was several months ahead of the main body, and so were woefully underprepared unprepared when they encountered the [[Death Guard]] [[Traitor Legion]]. The Death Guard were trying to find the source of the outbreak, believed to be a Heresy-Era Death Guard [[battle barge]]. They were led by [[Typhus]], the [[Heraldof Nurgle]].

The Reclamation forces were able to locate the ancient battle-barge just before the traitors, killing its [[Daemonic ]] resident. After this, [[Typhus]] gave up on the world, and returned to the [[Ezekyle Abaddon|Warmaster]]'s side. The only survivors of the action were the Cadian 88th Mechanised Infantry Regiment, who managed to hold out until the main Reclamation fleet arrived.
