History
This device functions by utilizing the [[Warp]] and designed to target specific [[Xenos]] species through their Warp signature. As a result, it was believed that it is capable of eliminating an entire invading force. Research into the weapon is believed to had been blessed by the [[Inquisition]]. This saw [[Ordo Xenos]] Inquisitor Drogan establish a base on the [[Forge World]] [[Graia]] where he continued his study in secret. The project included the study of various Xenos specimens that were subjected to the effects of the Scourge. This included successful tests conducted on [[Ork]], [[Tau]] and a [[Tyranid]] [[Lictor]] specimen that proved the weapon could be of immense value to the [[Imperium]]. At some unknown point, Inquisitor Drogan's work drew the attention of [[Chaos]] that saw him being killed and becoming a puppet of the [[Chaos Space Marine]] [[Nemeroth]] who intended to use the weapon to break the walls of reality to allow an invasion of Graia. The planet Graia came under attack from an Ork [[Waaagh!]] led by [[Warboss]] [[Grimskull]]. This invasion attracted the rapid deployment of the [[Ultramarines]] [[Chapter]] of the [[Adeptus Astartes]] who arrived to repel the Orks. Their arrival led to the possessed Drogan enlisting [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Titus (Ultramarines)|Titus]]'s aid in securing his ''"weapon"''. The Ultramarines Captain was reluctantly convinced by the Inquisitor to use the weapon to defeat the Orks and the Psychic Scourge was activated. However, this simply splintered the walls of reality allowing [[Daemons]] and [[The Chosen of Nemeroth]] to invade the world. Titus ultimately was able to destroy the device and defeat Nemeorth.{{Fn|1}}
However, the Mechanicum Mechanicus retained an interest in the device, codenamed Project Aurora. [[Tech-Priest]]s under [[Nozick Beta-12]] rebuilt the device, but the entire research team save [[Morias Leuze]] were slain by [[Tyranids]] on [[Avarax]].{{Fn|2a}} Titus and his new squad again become embroiled in a conspiracy surrounding Aurora, and it is revealed that the [[Thousand Sons]] under [[Imurah]] manipulated the Mechanicum Mechanicus into rebuilding it in order to use it to open a massive [[Warp Rift]] and summon a [[Lord of Change]].{{Fn|2b}}{{Fn|2c}} Imurah is able to escape back into the Warp with Aurora, intent on using it to amplify his connection to the Immaterium and receive "divine knowledge". However as he fuses with the device Titus is able to reverse its polarity, causing Imurah to shatter.{{Fn|2c}}
