During the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]] the city was taken by [[Pater (Chaos)|Pater]] [[Sin]] and his [[Infardi]] cultists, who killed King [[Infareem Infardus]] and hung his corpse in a gibbet.{{Fn|1a}} The Doctrinopolis was re-captured from the Infardi by [[Imperial Guard Regiment|regiments]] of the [[Astra Militarum]], most notablly the [[Tanith First and Only]] regiment.{{Fn|1a}}
Despite the operation proceeding ahead of schedule, [[Lord General]] [[Lugo]] pressured the officer in charge of taking the city, [[Colonel-Commissar]] [[Ibram Gaunt]], into leading an armoured advance before [[Tanith First and Only|Gaunt's infantry]] had secured their approach route.{{Fn|1b}} This not only devastated large areas of the city, but prevented the Imperials from discovering a [[Chaos]] booby trap that was triggered when Guardsmen of the [[Brevian Centennials]] regiment stormed the '''Citadel'''.{{Fn|1c}} The trap detonated, destroying the Citadel and killing all of the Brevians committed to the area. This explosion, however, was merely a side-effect of the trap's true, far worse, purpose - it acted as an [[astropathic]] beacon that signalled a nearby [[Chaos ]] fleet towards Hagia. [[Warmaster]] [[Macaroth]] was left no choice, and instructed Lugo to order an immediate withdrawal of all Imperial forces from Hagia.{{Fn|1d}}
