==History==
====The Ork invasion====
When the [[Gehenna system]] fell victim to [[Waaagh! Hargluk]] the [[Orks]] arrived on three different [[Space Hulk]]s that plowed through the system's defences of fighters and orbital monitors in a matter of days. When the Orks attacked Gehenna Prime thousands of them were killed in their landing crafts by ground-based missile batteries and defence lasers. Thousands more however managed to survive and established a landing zone in the western districts of [[Hive]] [[Kravaster]].{{Fn|4}}
''work in progress''
'''Note 1''': ''From the information available about the Genestealer infestation{{Fn|1}} it could be assumed that the [[Imperium]] in the end managed to defeat the [[Orks]], as in [[[[Warhammer 40,000: Wargear (2nd Edition)]] on pg. 60 it is written that: "[...] The [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]] [the [[Blood Angels]]] was almost worshipped here [on Gehenna Prime] since the time they had helped drive off the Ork invasion". Of course there is also a theoretical possibility that this refers to an so far unknown Ork invasion other than [[Waaagh! Hargluk]].''
====The Genestealer infestation====
''work in progress''
'''Note 2''': ''Taking into account the previous note 1 (see above) this [[Genestealer]] infestation could have happened after the [[Ork]] invasion of Gehenna Prime by [[Waaagh! Hargluk]]. This is however only an interpretation of circumstantial evidence as it is not explicitly stated when which events took place.''
Gehenna Prime was at some point after the invasion infiltrated by [[Genestealer]]s under the guise of the [[Cult of the Emperor's Light]]. Apparently from there the cult eventually infiltrated the entire Gehenna system, and were finally destroyed by a force of the [[Space Wolves]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3}}
