==History==
Considered a lesser Forge World, Ohmn-Mat served as a resupply point for [[Expeditionary fleet]]s pushing out towards the [[Eastern Fringe]] during the mid to late [[Great Crusade]]. As the expanding frontiers of the Imperium overtook the world, its efforts were redirected, with most of the planet’s industrial output feeding the stockpiles of the nearby [[fortress world]] of Stromhelm and the stellar infrastructure needs of local [[sub-sectors]]. By the time of the Horus Heresy, Ohmn-Mat was a victim of the [[Mechanicum]]s capricious policies commited during the Great Crusade, being stripped of much of its industry by the [[Expeditionary Fleet]]s Fleets that had passed by it.{{Fn|2}}
In 008.[[M31]] during the [[Horus Heresy]], the [[Forge World]] of [[Ohmn-Mat]] fell into civil war when its [[Tech-Priest]] rulers split between those loyal to the [[Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]] and those loyal to [[Horus]]. Eventually, [[Sons of Horus]] and [[Iron Hands]] forces took respective sides in the conflict, [[Burning of Ohmn-Mat|battling one another in a major escalation]]. In the end the [[Daemon]] [[Samus]] was summoned to the surface, forcing the worlds loyalist [[Tech-Priest]] to detonate a cache of forbidden weaponry to deny it to the forces of [[Horus]]. The planet was destroyed and its fires still rage 10,000 years later.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}
