→History
During the [[Indomitus Crusade]], an Imperial Battlegroup under [[Groupmaster]] [[Marran]] was deployed to investigate the silence of Vertigus II, as they had missed three [[Tithe]] cycles.{{Fn|3}} Task Force III dispatched a force led by [[Ultramarines]] [[Veterans]] but also containing other Space Marine Chapters and [[Sisters of Battle]] to the planet surface, but found nothing but silence. Despite signs of a struggle, it seemed the populace had vanished instantaneously, with activated [[Ordinators]] sitting idle and rotten, half-eaten rations lying around.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}
==Geography==
As a Mining World, Vertigus II contains many underground mineral resources. Towns known as Mining Communes cover the surface, with a capital city named [[M’tallonis]].
Due to the [[Necron]] influence, Vertigus II is now covered in massive [[Blackstone]] Obelisks.
