Beginning Amid the Horus Heresy, [[Dark Heart Chapter|elements loyal]] to [[Kor Phaeron]] seized power on Colchis in 008.[[M31]]. Despite Kor Phaeron himself missing since the [[Battle of Calth]], these elements oversaw a bloody purge on Colchis before expanding outwards and establishing their [[Colchisian Satrapy|own empire]].{{Fn|9}} However beginning in 010.[[M31]], Colchis faced several Imperial assaults during the [[Bitter War]] campaign of the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|6}} When the [[Ultramarines]] returned to Colchis to purge it after the [[Horus Heresy]] they found a collapsed world. All of the industries were destroyed and people barely clung on to life. The Inquisition ordered the cleansing by the use of [[cyclonic torpedoes]], disrupting Colchis's delicate geological structure, and thereby triggering a catastrophic explosion that annihilated the planet.{{Fn|1}} At the time the Mark of Calth had reached 219,479.25.03 (approximately 25 years).{{Fn|5}}
