'''Umbrus{{PAGENAME}}''' is a barren world in the galactic north.{{Fn|1}}
Sometime after the [[13th Black Crusade]], the [[Iron Hands]] observed that the [[Chaos]] powers heavily fortified the world. The Iron Hands suspected that it guarded a hidden passage through the [[Cicatrix Maledictum]], the Great Rift that separates [[Medusa]] and the galactic north from the light of the [[Astronomican]]. In rotating shifts, the Iron Hands Clan-Companies brought their armored might to bear, besieging the fortresses that guarded an unusual gateway built into the mountainsides. With no defense able to withstand the pressures exerted by the relentless Iron Hands for long, the heretics’ fortifications fell and their lines broke. The renegades escaped through the mysterious gateway, however, and as the Iron Hands moved to pursue, explosive charges left behind destroyed the portal’s mechanisms.{{Fn|1}}
