The '''Dominatus''' was an [[Imperator Titan]] that fell in battle against the forces of [[Chaos]], during the [[Imperium]]'s failed defense of the planet [[Lorn V]]. As the planet fell into Chaos' grip, the Dominatus lay broken and forgotten for millenia{{Fn|1a}} until the Imperium sent the [[Cadian 412th]] [[Imperial Guard Regiment]], led by [[General]] [[Sturnn]], to retrieve it{{Fn|1b}}. With the aid of [[Farseer]] [[Taldeer]] and her forces, who had their own goal to achieve{{Fn|1c}}, General Sturnn's Guardsmen fought their way through both the [[Chaos Lord]] [[Crull]]'s [[Blood Legion of Khorne]] warband and the [[Orks]] of [[Warboss]] [[Gorgutz 'Ead 'Unter]], to reach the final resting place of the Titan{{Fn|1d}}. There the [[Eldar]] would betray the [[Imperial Guard]], reaching the Dominatus before them and powering it with their technology; to fight their ancient enemies the [[Necron]], which had begone to emerge from beneath Lorn V's surface.{{Fn|1e}}
Despite her betrayal Taldeer convinced General Sturnn to aid them in fighting the Necrons; as the Eldar fired the Dominatus' weapons repeatably into their advancing [[Monolith]]s - defeating the Necrons, but rupturing the Titan's power core in the process. As the Eldar fled back into the [[Webway]], the Dominatus exploded{{Fn|1e}} killing General Sturnn and a majority of the 412th. What few survivors of the Regiment made it off world spread word of the Farseer's treachery and to this day, the 412th's banner bears a black ribbon to mark their failure in recovering the Dominatus.{{Fn|2}}
