By the time of the [[Horus Heresy]] Thramas was known as the Jewel of the East, having been the seat of empires for millennia and colonized long before the [[Age of Strife]]. Past governments of Thramas before the coming of the [[Imperium]] include the Centauran Republic, Tenebris Freehold, and Barony of Thrame. When the Imperium arrived they found it under the control of a ruler known as the Regent of Thramas and besieged by the horrors of Old Night. The Regent freely accepted Imperial rule in order to combat the [[Human]] [[Pirate]]s and [[Xenos]] horrors scaled against them. Under Imperial rule Thramas was revitalized and became a center of the [[Eastern Fringe]]. Such was its importance that the [[Emperor]] himself once set foot upon the world during his campaign against the [[Khrave]].{{Fn|1b}}
By the time of the [[Horus Heresy]] Thramas was the capital of the [[Thramas Sector]] and one of the most heavily fortified worlds of the Imperium, with the [[Thramassi Nightwatch]] as its core defensedefence. Staunchly to the Imperium, they remained true to the [[Emperor]] during the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1b}} In the subsequent [[Thramas Crusade]] it was attacked by the [[Night Lords]] under [[Nakrid Thole]]. Thole initially landed on the world expecting surrender but instead ambushed, wounded, and forced to flee by the [[Imperial Army]] defenders. What endured was a brutal siege and blockade before Nakrid Thole was able to summon the [[Dark Mechanicum]] predator-world of [[Ulan Huda]] to devastate the planet.{{Fn|1}} Forces of the [[Dark Angels]] under [[Lion El'Jonson]] himself later arrived and managed to force Ulan Huda to flee back into the Warp before it could fully destroy Thramas. However following the sudden withdrawal of The Lion from the Thramas Warzone Thole was able to mount another attack on Thramas, this time capturing most of the planet. This forced the Dark Angels under [[Marduk Sedras]] to launch an orbital bombardment of the planet with [[Phosphex]], killing all the Night Lords but also purging a loyalist planet.{{Fn|1a}}
