The planet is ruled by a feudal system of noble patronage which extends even beyond its own star system into neighboring worlds. It is the recruiting ground for the [[Gudrunite Rifles]] [[regiment]]s of the [[Imperial Guard]]. A founding of a new regiment is always a cause for a planet-wide celebration.{{Cite This}}
Once the capital of the Helican Sector, in 241.[[M41]] one of the preeminent noble houses on Gudrun - [[House Glaw]] - was found to be pervaded by a [[Chaos cult]]. Once this came to be known the noble house was destroyed. The damage caused to the reputation and prestige of Gudrun led to the relocation of Sector Headquarters to [[Thracian Primaris]].{{Cite This}} Sometime after the [[Great Rift]]'s creation, {{PAGENAME}} has been invaded by the forces of [[Chaos]] and the Imperium now fights to save the world.{{Fn|3}}
