Changes

Having been founded sometime during the [[Dark Age of Technology]] and spared many of the horrors of the [[Age of Strife]], Isstvan III was originally assimilated into the [[Imperium]] by the [[Raven Guard]] during the [[Great Crusade]]. The Raven Guard swiftly conquered the planet, attacking from orbit at night and destroying most of its limited military capabilities in one swoop. By the time dawn rose on the [[Hive]] of '''Khry Vanak''', Isstvan III's capital, the planetary leadership and military capability had been bombed into ruin. Aftewards, the administration of the Imperium moved in the wake of the [[Astartes]] and rebuilt the planet along the lines of the [[Imperial Truth]].{{Fn|55b}}
