'''{{PAGENAME}}Cartheginus''' was a once affluent trading outpost world in the [[Quintillus System]], which is located just outside [[Segmentum Solar]]. Early in the [[Imperium]]'s history the world was used as a distribution depot, for the vast number of resources its [[Expeditionary Fleet]]s needed to fight during the [[Great Crusade]]. Because of this, {{PAGENAME}} became a trading outpost and soon became an affluent world. This all ended however, when the [[Horus Heresy]] began.{{Fn|1}}

During the Great Crusade, {{PAGENAME}} Cartheginus was one of the worlds Horus curried favours for, to ensure his [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] received the very best equipment and supplies. In return he made sure that those in charge, benefited from his patronage. So when the Horus Heresy began, this relationship ensured that {{PAGENAME}} Cartheginus readily declared their support for the Warmaster - and ensured the world's immediate destruction. When the Imperium received word of the rulers' of {{PAGENAME}} Cartheginus traitorous actions, a fleet was dispatched and soon turned the world into a dead cratered ruin. In the aftermath of {{PAGENAME}}Cartheginus's destruction, the world became became a reminder to the [[Traitor]]s, that it was the [[Emperor]] and not Horus who ruled the galaxy. When the Warmaster's forces later arrived en mass in the the system, they tried to gain control of {{PAGENAME}}Cartheginus, as a point of pride, but the Imperium fought to make sure it remained a lifeless rock - — just as the Emperor demanded.{{Fn|1}} == See also Related Articles==
