The '''Khorion IX''' was a planet deep within the [[Halo Zone]]. Little was known about the planet, beyond having a mysterious network of pre-[[Imperial]] barrows, as it had barely been charted before the planet was taken by [[Chaos]]. Khorion IX became a place where cultists of the [[Daemon Prince]] [[Ghargatuloth]] gathered and were sacrificed. With the lives and the suffering offered up by the willing cultists, the world became saturated with the power of Chaos and become a massive staging ground for the daemonic hoard under Ghargatuloth's command. The Daemon Prince took control of the planet as he prepared to manifest itself in [[realspace]] as part of his plan to spread chaos and carnage destroy the Imperium in the name of his master [[Tzeentch]]. {{Fn|1}} Unwilling to commit an immediate [[Exterminatus]], the [[Inquisition]] pre-opted for a ground assault, as they needed to confirmation of the banishment of Ghargatuloth. The Daemon was stopped by Ordo Malleus gathered a full three [[Brotherhood]]s, a force of three hundred [[Grey Knights]], led by three [[Grey Knights Grand Master|Grand Master]]s, including Grand Master [[Mandulis]] who had been the sole member of the assault force who survived just long enough to banish the daemon. After the Grey Knights recovered the scant surviving resources on the surface, (notably, only the body of Mandulis was recovered,) the world was later subjected to [[Exterminatus]].{{Fn|1}}
