→Horus Heresy
===Horus Heresy===
Molech was one of the planets that the Warmaster Horus [[Battle of Molech|assaulted]] during his drive towards Terra. Three [[Titan Legions]] and over a hundred [[Imperial Army]] regiments and Knight Households stood ready to face the Warmaster's onslaught, which included the [[Sons of Horus]] and [[Death Guard]] [[Legion]]s.{{Fn|1a}}
Horus' initial assault devastated many cities and strongholds including House Devine. Over the following months, the insidious whispers of Slaanesh spread through their fatigued ranks. Their officers became lethargic and interested only in their sports, using their mighty machines to hunt down the wild animals of Molech. Soon, they began to meet in secret cabals, committing depraved rites and ceremonies within the heart of the Loyalist camp.{{Fn|1a}}
