'''Vannick Hive''' (also known as '''Vannick Magna'''{{Fn|1a}}) was a [[Hive|hive city]] on the planet [[Verghast]]. It specialised in refining [[Promethium|fuel]], with a supply pipeline connecting Vannick to [[Vervunhive]].{{Fn|1b}}
==History==
In the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]], another of Verghast's hives ([[Ferrozoica]]) fell to [[Chaos]] and [[Siege of Vervunhive|attacked Vervunhive]]. Vannick Hive pledged nine [[regiments]] of [[PDF|its standing army]] to reinforce Vervunhive.{{Fn|1b}} However, this help never arrived, as the Ferrozoicans obliterated Vannick with [[Nuclear Weapon|atomic weapons]].{{Fn|1c}}
To prevent them from being used to circumvent Vervunhive's defences, Vervunhive's Legislature ordered the closure of all of the pipelines that still connected what remained of Vannick to Vervunhive. Despite this order, at least one of the pipelines remained open, as the line's owner, [[Amchanduste Worlin|Guilder Worlin]], wanted to profit as much as he could off the now-limited fuel supply.{{Fn|1d}} This would spell disaster for Vervunhive, as it allowed Zoican forces to breach the hive's eastern wall, bypassing the [[Void shield|energy barrier]] that protected it.{{Fn|1e}}
