==History==
Ferrozoica is chiefly known for two outbreaks of violent relations with its rival hive of [[Vervunhive]]. The first of these was a '[[Trade War (Verghast)|Trade War]]' in which Zoica was defeated. Some time afterwards the entire hive was tainted by the [[Ruinous Powers]] and 90 years after the Trade War nearly 100% of the population was rounded up to fight for [[Chaos]].{{Fn|1a}}
They attacked both Vervunhive and [[Vannick Hive]], the latter being destroyed by [[nuclear weapons]].{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}} Vervunhive suffered a mass infantry and war-machine assault, and the Zoican forces were on the verge of winning when their mobile command centre, dubbed "[[The Spike]]" by Imperial commanders, was infiltrated by [[Colonel-Commissar]] [[Ibram Gaunt]] and his strike force of [[Tanith First and Only|Tanith]], [[Royal Volpone|Volpone]] and [[Scratch Company]] troops and destroyed.{{Fn|1c}}
