After the end of the Heresy, Prandium recovered, becoming an [[Agri-World]] that supplied consumables to the rest of the [[Sector]]. Over time the planet reclaimed its former beauty and once again became known as the "jewel in Ultramar's crown", prospering for thousands of years. During the [[War of the Beast]], Prandium was invaded by [[Orks]].{{Fn|5}}
After the war, Prandium was again at peace until it was attacked and consumed by [[Hive Fleet]] [[Behemoth]] in 745.[[M41]].{{Fn|3}} Prandium is now devoid of all life. The [[Tyranid]]s were so thorough that even Prandium's atmosphere was consumed for whatever biomass it contained.{{Fn|4}} The Ultramarines, led by [[Marneus Calgar]], mounted a defence of the planet, but even the might of the Space Marines was no match for the endless tide of Tyranids and they were forced to retreat to orbit. Over two hundred years later the Ultramarines still consider their failure at Prandium a great blemish on their honour.{{Cite thisCME}}
