Tesla Prime was a major weapons testing facility for the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. Experimental weapons of truly devastating effect were stockpiled there prior to the worlds world's evacuation ahead of hive fleet [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]]. While the Mechanicum attempted to remove as much material as possible , some equipment proved to too large, or to too dangerous to move and so was abandoned. Shortly after the last ship departed Tesla Prime , [[OrkLootaz]] looters proceeded to raid what ever whatever had been left. The explosions from their 'experiments' could easily be seen from space. By the time hive fleet Leviathan finally arrived the Orks had managed to master many of their new toys , resulting in massive casualties on both sides and causing the conflict to spread to many nearby worlds. The resulting war proved to be extremely helpful to the [[Imperium]] , allowing them to fortify or reclaim many smaller strongholds against further incursions.^{{Fn|1}}
