Unusually for Agri Worlds, the Three Planets are largely desert, but feature hundreds of dome-enclosed cities, with vast water traps, capturing moisture from the atmosphere and storing it underground.{{Fn|1}} These cities support arable land and hydroponic cultivation that make Quintarn one of the most productive Agri Worlds in the [[Imperium]], supplying foodstuffs to the rest of Ultramar, and many other planets beyond.{{Fn|3a}}
During the [[War of the Beast]] in [[M32]], Quintarn was invaded by [[Orks]]{{Fn|5}}. The Three Planets were captured by [[Ork]] scavengers just after the battle against [[Hive Fleet Behemoth]] in 745.[[M41]]. [[Marneus Calgar]] led the forces of the [[Ultramarines]] to reconquer them{{Cite This}}.
