'''Bodt''' was a world of the [[Imperium]] close to the [[galactic core]] that served as the primary training and mustering ground for the [[World Eaters]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] prior to the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|2a}}
Acting as the Legion's ''de facto'' [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|homeworld]], its terrain was arid and volcanic. Bodt was a "barracks" world and proving grounds for the World Eaters. It was inhabited by [[Numen Gun Clans]], which often served in [[Imperial Army]] units attached to World Eaters expeditions. As the World Eaters conducted live fire exercises and established industry upon Bodt, it became a polluted, unstable, and toxic planet. Bodt also maintained a vault of ancient and forbidden weapons overseen by [[Tech-Priest]]s from [[Sarum]], known as the Crimson Priests.{{Fn|2a}}
In the aftermath of the [[Drop Site Massacre]], senior World Eaters [[Apothecaries]] in cooperation with the [[Word Bearers]] arrived on Bodt, where they established bio-vats to create new warriors at a rapid pace. What resulted were rage-filled monsters of pure aggression. [[Initiates]] who survived the process awoke thinking they were a veteran of countless wars.{{Fn|2a}}
