'''Exyrion''' was once a [[Hive World]], and the site of a [[Battle of Exyrion|battle]] between the [[Dark Angels]] and [[Iron Warriors]] during the [[Horus Heresy]]. At the end of the battle, almost all life on Exyrion was wiped out when the Iron Warriors activated a weapon of such cataclysmic power that it ended a million lives in a single stroke, the resultant psychic howl causing a warp-storm to tear across the Calaphrax Cluster and cutting it off from the Imperium for ten millennia. A few survivors remained in the extensive underground warrens of the [[Hive]]s, drawing power from the reactor of a fallen [[Warlord Class Titan]].{{fn|2}}
When the Dark Angels returned in [[M41]], they found the surface infested with [[daemon]]s.{{fn|1}} Clearing a passage into the underground regions, they encountered a colony of survivors that had endured ten millennia in isolation. The [[Chaos Lord]] [[KorosKorus]] launched a giant missile at the planet's surface to crack open the hive and uncover its secrets.{{fn|2}}
Exyrion is orbited by two moons{{fn|1}} and an orbital observation platform.{{Fn|2}}
