Shortly after the formation of the [[Great Rift]], the Rock [[Siege of The Rock|was besieged]] by [[Daemons]] led by the [[Fallen]] [[Daemon Prince]] [[Marbas]]. The battle was a mere distraction and was quickly defeated, however the Fallen succeeded in setting [[Luther]] free.{{Fn|6}}
The Rock was again besieged during hte [[Arks of Omen Campaign]] as part of the [[Daemon]] [[Vashtorr]]'s plans. [[Arks of Omen Campaign_#The Siege of The Rock|ambushing and boarding the mobile fortress]], Vashtorr sought a [[The Key|Key Fragment]] which was sealed within one of The Rock's deepest vaults. Vashtorr's raid initially was on the verge of succeeding until [[Be'lakor]] intervened and allowed for nearby Imperial reinforcements to arrive. Enraged and with his plan in tatters, Vashtorr retreated.{{Fn|12d}}
Unknown to the Dark Angels until [[Cypher]] informed them, for the last ten thousand years The Rock has had the ancient sentient device known as [[Tuchulcha]] hidden within it.{{Fn|4}}
