During the [[Age of Strife]], Damaetus was attacked numerous times by the [[xenos]] [[Mitu Conglomerate]]. Felweather Keep managed to stand resolute until the planet was relieved by the [[Dark Angels]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] and was subsequently incorporated into the [[Imperium]]. The keep housed a number of subterranean vaults containing ancient data-stacks, which were of great interest to the [[Mechanicum]]; delegations from various [[Forge World]]s attempted to make a deal with House Vyronii, offering their patronage and support in exchange for the data.{{Fn|1}}
Although [[High Monarch|Grand Master]] [[Jahk]] was reluctant to allow Mechanicum intervention with regards to his House and planetworld, eventually he had little choice but to create a pact with a Forge World, lest Vyronii's Knights all be destroyed.{{Fn|1}} He chose to ally with the Mechanicum of [[Cyclothrathe]], unaware that they had sided with the [[Traitor]]s in the [[Horus Heresy]]. When a Cyclothrathe delegation arrived at Damaetus, the Traitor Mechanicum forces attacked Felweather Keep, leading to [[Battle for Felweather Keep|a pitched battle]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}
