'''Samech''' is a [[Hell Forge]] of the [[Dark Mechanicum]], known as the "Fallen Forge World".{{Fn|1}}
==History==
When the [[Warp Storm]] known as the [[Hadex Anomaly]] erupted in the [[Jericho Reach]] region in early [[M40]], the Forge World initially remained a bastion of faith to the [[Cult Mechanicus]] and the [[Imperium]]. However , as time wore on and the world came under frequent [[Xenos]] and raider attack, the Quorum of [[Magi]] leading the Forge World began to question the Imperium, suspecting they had been abandoned. The Magi determined that Samech would only survive through self-sufficiency. In their quest for self-sufficiency, the [[Techpriest]]s of Samech began to dabble into [[Heretek|Techno-Heresy]] and explore any new weapon or machine that would benefit their Forge World. The defenses of the planet were reinforced with these new forbidden technologies. As xenos and raider attacks intensified, paranoia grew as the Priests of Samech viewed any outsider as enemies.{{Fn|1}}
Finally in 325.[[M40]], an [[Explorator]] Fleet arrived in orbit, unaware of what had transpired on the planet. Samech's defenses fired on and destroyed the Mechanicus fleet, and Samech was declared to be an apostate world by the [[High Lords of Terra]]. The Quorum of Samech by this point viewed their world as an independent realm, free from the dogma of the Imperium. Soon Samech forces began raiding nearby planets for resources and slaves to work their Forges.{{Fn|1}}
Samech is now an important [[Chaos]] stronghold and arms depot in [[Ultima Segmentum]], providing advanced and forbidden weapons to Chaos forces in the area. Notable clients of Samech weaponry include [[Warsmith]] [[Koros]]. Koros's [[Iron Warriors]] and Samech have since entered into an unholy alliance.{{Fn|2}}
