The Interex were humans originating from [[Terra]], that created their own civilization.{{Fn|2a}} At some point they made contact with the [[Eldar]], who told them about the dangers of [[Chaos]] and the threat that the inhabitants of the [[warp]] pose to humanity.{{Fn|2c}}. Later, the Interex made contact with the [[Kinebrach]], who were defeated as a result of a long war and subsequently entered their society, becoming an inextricable part. After that, the Interex encountered, defeated and localized the aggressive alien [[Megarachnids]] on the planet [[Murder]] ('''Urisarach''' in the language of the Interex, meaning '''Spiderland'''). The Megarachnids had begun to attack the frontier planets of the Interex, infesting eight Interex systems at the start of the conflict.{{Fn|2a}} During the [[Great Crusade]] the Interex were encountered by the [[Luna Wolves]]{{Fn|2a}} and at that time their civilization included 30 systems.{{Fn|2b}} The technology of the Interex was in many ways more advanced than that of the [[Imperium]], but not as strongly focused on warfare.{{Fn|2a}}
Devoted to fighting Chaos, (they referred to it as 'Kaos'), they regarded the [[63rd expedition]] skeptically, as they thought they might be tainted by it. They were in talks with Horus and his peers{{Fn|2c}} when somebody{{Fn|2c}} (later discovered to be First Chaplain [[Erebus]] of the [[Word Bearers]] {{Fn|2d}} tainted by the powers of Chaos{{Cite this}}) infiltrated the '''Hall of Devices''', the Interex museum of artefacts and weapons, sabotaged the building to explode{{Fn|2c}}, and stole a valuable and dangerous Kinebrach sword known as an [[Anathame]]. [[Battle of Xenobia Principis|Fighting]] broke out between Space Marines and Interex forces until Warmaster Horus was successfully evacuated off planet.{{Fn|2d}} The stolen [[Anathame]], secretly taken by [[Erebus]], would be the weapon that later mortally wounded [[Horus]]. The Interex are confirmed to have been destroyed in an Imperial campaign before the beginning of the war on the [[Auretian Technocracy]].{{Fn|1}}
