==History==
Vorlese is an advanced, productive, and wealthy world that is typical of [[Segmentum Solar]]. It sits at the center of one of the eight major [[Warp route]]s to [[Terra]], making it a vital strategic world. After the [[13th Black Crusade]] and the formation of the [[Great Rift]], it was assaulted by the [[Black Legion]] in an attempt to shut down all the access routes to and from Terra. The Black Legion planned to drop a gigantic shard of a [[Cadian Pylon]] onto Vorlese, using its [[null ]] energies to shut down [[Warp Travel]] in the area.{{Fn|1}}
In the subsequent [[Battle of Vorlese]], the [[PDF]] forces on the planet held out the best they could against the [[Chaos Space Marine]] assault while the orbiting Black Legion [[Grand Cruiser]] was boarded by [[Custodes]] and [[Sisters of Silence]]. They managed to prevent the [[Chaos]] forces from dropping the Pylon shard onto Vorlese long enough for [[Roboute Guilliman]]'s fleet to arrive, which subsequently defeated the Chaos fleet and liberated Vorlese.{{Fn|1}}
