The '''Broken Key''' was a 007.[[M31]] [[Horus Heresy]] raid, which saw the [[Word Bearers]] send several [[Dark Mechanicum]] [[Skitarii Conclave]]s to steal the [[Keys of Hel]] from the [[Iron Hands]]' [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|Homeworld]], [[Medusa]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
This was as the [[Iron Hands]] were still wracked by madness, grief and internal dissension, following the death of their [[Primarch]], [[Ferrus Manus]], during the [[Horus Heresy|Heresy]]'s [[Dropsite Massacre]]. With their foes distracted, the [[Word Bearers]] sought to claim the [[Keys of Hel]] and used the [[warp]] to insert a small cruiser into [[Medusa]]'s [[Sthenelus System]]. Once it reached the Iron Hands' [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|Homeworld]], the cruiser then deployed several [[Dark Mechanicum]] [[Skitarii Conclave]]s to claim Manus' treasures. However, the attack rallied the Iron Hands together and the conclaves were only able to escape with a few of the Keys of Hel. The invasion though, ultimately galvanized the Iron Hands located on Medusa and led the [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] to launch a campaign against the Word Bearers, which became known as the [[War of Bitter Iron]].{{Fn|1}}
