==History==
Once considered the most beautiful world in Ultramar by members of the Ultramarines, during the [[Horus Heresy]], Prandium was used to stage a mock battle between two forces of the Ultramarines - one impersonating the tactics and appearance of the [[World Eaters]], one led by [[Remus Ventanus]], [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] of the Ultramarines' 4th [[Space Marine Company|4th Company]]. The intention of this mock battle was to test the efficiency of an early version of the [[Codex Astartes]] against the unique tactics of the World Eaters [[Legion]]. Although the worth of the Codex was proven by Ventantus' success, the battle left swathes of Prandium in ruins and a shadow of its former self.{{Fn|2}}
After the end of the Heresy, Prandium recovered, becoming an [[Agri-World]] that supplied consumables to the rest of the [[Sector]]. Over time the planet reclaimed its former beauty and once again became known as the "jewel in Ultramar's crown", prospering for thousands of years. During the [[War of the Beast]], Prandium was invaded by [[Orks]].{{Fn|5}}
