The '''Ghanathaar''' are described in several [[Imperial]] records, as an ancient non-humanoid [[Xenos]] [[List of Sentient Species|species]], that once resided in the [[Jericho Reach]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
This ended during the [[Great Crusade]], when the [[Imperium]] attacked the Ghanathaar's domain at the [[Jericho Reach|Reach]]'s border with the [[Eastern Fringe]]. The war against the Ghanathaar was considered to be amongst the most serious opposition, to the Crusade's efforts to bring the Jericho Reach into [[Compliance]]. While the Imperium was ultimately victorious, the war with the [[Xenos]] destroyed the capacity of numerous worlds in that portion of the Reach to sustain life. This is a factor that has come to shape the future the Jericho Reach.{{Fn|1}}
The [[Ultramarines]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] are believed to be among the [[Imperial]] forces, that took part in the war against the Ghanathaar. 2033 members of the [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] perished, in what the Ultramarines called the '''War against the Ghan'at Hark'''. The fallen are honored, were honoured by having their names graven engraved upon a [[Charantracite]] relief panel, in [[Macragge]]'s '''Chapel of Ages'''.{{Fn|1}}
