During the early [[Great Crusade]], Crucis was the second world of what would become the [[Moebian Domain]] to be discovered, shortly after [[Atoma Prime|Atoma]] was. Crucis was ordered to cede authority to the more powerful world of [[Atoma Prime|Atoma]]. The discovery of Crucic marks the point where [[Atoma Prime]] is renamed as such to fit its new designation as system capital and the creation of the office of [[Governor]] or [[Sector Lord]], ruled by the first [[Lord Moebian]]. The nascent [[Imperium]]'s expeditionary fleet would go on to eradicate all [[xenos]] threats on [[Komaris]], [[Karnas]], and [[Infidus Brim]]. [[Komaris]] would go on to become a bastion against [[Fringe War]] threats. The fleet would move on from the newly established [[Moebian Domain]], leaving the remnants of those ancient darktide threats to be cleaned up by the local Moebian forces.{{Fn|2c}}
During the Heresy the Moebian Domain would remain staunchly loyal. However, in the aftermath of the [[Horus Heresy]] in M31, an interim government for the Moebian Domain was stationed on Crucis as Atoma recovered back to full production capacity. The Moebian [[Imperial Navy|Naval Battle Fleets ]] were moved from [[Atoma Prime]] to '''Crucis''' during this time, as well as administrative power was willingly given back to the [[Sector Lord|Lord Moebian]] successors of [[Atoma Prime]] later on in M42. The Naval Battlefleet Depot was moved back to [[Atoma Prime]].{{Fn|2c}}
The Moebian Domain would face near catastrophe due to increasing fringe threats in M33-35. Sometime in M36, Crucis would be designated a [[Shrine World]], during the Margrave rule of the domain.{{Fn|2d}} Crucis is the assumed center of the [[Ecclesiarchy]]'s power in the domain.
