'''Stratopolae''' was a world held by the [[Iron Warriors]] during the [[Great Crusade]], before it was lost in a mass [[Hrud]] migration.{{Fn|1b}}
{{Planets
During the Great Crusade the [[Primarch]] [[Perturabo]] led his Iron Warriors, in an extermination campaign against the Hrud in the [[Vulpa Straits]]. Instead of removing the threat the Hrud posed to the [[Imperium]] as he had hoped, Perturabo's attack merely caused the Hrud to begin a mass migration. Stratopolae was garrisoned{{Fn|1b}} by the Iron Warriors' 14th [[Grand Company]]{{Fn|1a}}, under the command of [[Warsmith]] [[Barabas Dantioch]], when the Hrud suddenly materialized on the planet. The Iron Warriors were unprepared for the sudden attack and fell victim to the Hrud's sheer numbers; and their entropic fields, which rotted their fortifications and aged the [[Space Marines]]' bodies to dust. In the end Stratopolae was lost to the Hrud, along with the planet [[Krak Fiorina]] and the [[Fortress World]] of [[Gholghis]].{{Fn|1b}}
