'''{{PAGENAME}}''' was a [[Hive World]] of the [[Imperium]].{{Fn|1}}
Described as small and shabby, Absolom was within the [[Gorgonopsii Maestrale]] region of space. During the [[Horus Heresy]] it became a battleground when it was assaulted by forces by the [[Dark Mechanicum]]. Loyalist [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] stood in its defensedefence, and during the battle the [[Legio Castigatra]] and accompanying [[Skitarii]] and [[Taghmata]] forces battled their traitor [[Legio Audax]] and [[Ordo Reductor]] counterpart. At the height of the battle the loyalist [[Warmonger Titan]] ''[[Tantorus Magnificat]]'' led a rampage through a traitor-occupied [[Hive]] city, but was harpooned and brought down by the wolf pack tactics of Legio Audax [[Warhound Titan]]s under the command of [[Princeps]] [[Balthus Voltemand]]. After the Warmonger was brought down, traitor [[Thallax]] warriors boarded the Titan with the intent to capture it. However , the loyalist crew instead overloaded their plasma reactor, causing a catastrophic meltdown that wiped out the Legio Audax forces in the area.{{Fn|1}} ==Related Articles==*[[Planets (List)]]
