Bodt
,no edit summary
Acting as the Legion's ''de facto'' homeworld, its terrain was arid and volcanic. Bodt was a "barracks" world and proving grounds for the World Eaters. It was inhabited by Numen Gun Clans, which often served in [[Imperial Army]] units attached to World Eaters expeditions. As the World Eaters conducted live fire exercises and established industry upon Bodt, it became a polluted, unstable, and toxic planet. Bodt also maintained a vault of ancient and forbidden weapons overseen by [[Tech-Priest|Tech-Priests]] from [[Sarum]], known as the Crimson Priests.{{Fn|2a}}
In the aftermath of the [[Drop Site Massacre]], senior World Eaters [[Apothecaries]] in cooperation with the [[Word Bearers]] arrived on Bodt, where they established bio-vats to create new warriors at a rapid pace. What resulted were rage-filled monsters of pure aggression. [[Initiate(World Eaters)|Initiates]] who survived the process awoke thinking they were a veteran of countless wars.{{Fn|2a}}
In 008.[[M31]] during the Heresy, Bodt was assaulted by [[Shattered Legions]] [[Iron Hands]] under [[Autek Mor]], who [[Battle of Bodt|razed the planet]] after a savage battle.{{Fn|2b}}
