==History==

Formal Prime was one of the few [[Imperial]] holdouts in the Sabbat Worlds, having fought to maintain itself in the wake of the region's invasion by the forces of Chaos.{{Fn|3}} During [[Operation Redrake]], the initial phase of the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]], Formal Prime was one of the four objective worlds chosen by [[Warmaster]] [[Slaydo]] for the Crusade force's initial advance into the Chaos-held territory. Of these four, Formal Prime was the most strategically important, thus Slaydo chose to command the assault in person.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|3}}

A curious footnote to the battle on Formal Prime is the first mention of [[Macaroth]], Slaydo's eventual successor as [[Warmaster]] of the Crusade. During the eleventh week of fighting, Slaydo exclaimed in frustration, ''"Show me men who know how to fight!"'' One of his subordinates famously retorted, ''"Follow me to the morgue, sir, and I'll show you plenty."'' The remark was always attributed to [[Lord General]] [[Curell]], but on his deathbed Curell swore the remark had been made by his deputy, Macaroth.{{Fn|1c}}
