==History==
It was scoured clean of life in 926.[[M41]]{{Fn|1b}} by the planetoid-sized [[Necron]] warship known as the [[World Engine]], the last such world to be destroyed before an Imperial task-force halted the machine's progress.{{Cite thisMarker End}}
The World Engine was destroyed thanks only to the sacrifice of the [[Astral Knights]] [[chapter]] of the [[Adeptus Astartes]], who rammed their [[Battle Barge]] ''[[Tempestus (Battle Barge)|Tempestus]]'' through the World Engine's otherwise impenetrable [[void shield]]s, and then died to the last man fighting the armies of [[Necron]] troops inside, but not before sabotaging the shields and allowing the [[Imperial Navy]] to demolish the machine.{{Fn|1a}}
