'''Husk''' is an [[Imperial]] [[Hive World]].{{Fn|1}}==History==Ten thousand years of industrialization has left Husk's surface cold, poisoned, withered and barren. The [[Hive]] '''Varpitt''' exists there amidst a world desert and contains a population of hundreds of millions,{{Fn|1}} as well as the [[Museum of Chalcedony Angels]].{{Fn|2}} Since Husk's gravity is less than half of the [[Imperium]]'s standard, however, any dust that gets kicked up will remain in its air for quite a while. If enough does so, it could form a vast dust cloud filled with heavy metals and rad particles. When this occurs, the dust wreaks havoc with long-range [[vox]] transmissions, [[auspex]] sensors and targeting systems. Even the systems of [[Space Marine]] warships are not immune to this.{{Fn|1}}

The [[Museum of Chalcedony Dark Angels]] [[Chapter]]'s [[5th Company (Dark Angels)|5th Company]] discovered this, after they came to Husk aid, when it was invaded by [[Orks]] in [[M42]]. [[Space Marine Captain|Master]] [[Lazarus (Dark Angels)|Lazarus]] hoped to get around this, though, by drawing the [[Xenos]] to his position in numbers so large, that the [[Battle Barge]] [[Unrelenting Fury (Dark Angels)|Unrelenting Fury]] could see them. The Fury was then meant to destroy the Orks with an orbital bombardment and put an end to the invasion before they reached the Company. However just as the Xenos neared the 5th, the Battle Barge's commander, [[Domitius (Dark Angels)|Domitius]], received an urgent message from the Dark Angels' [[Supreme Grand Master]] [[Azrael]] is located on . It contained orders of the highest priority for the Unrelenting Fury, which required that the Battle Barge leave at once to fulfill them. Domitius immediately began preparations to do so, but informed Master Lazarus of his new orders before the Fury departed from Husk. This meant, though, that the 5th would now likely suffer heavy losses at the planetcharging Orks' hands.{{Fn|1}}
