During the 2nd siege of the world in the [[Great Crusade]], the early [[Blood Angels|IXth Legion]]'s 14th Company was deployed under [[Rogal Dorn]]. During the campaign they consumed prisoners of war in front of the enemy walls, inspiring terror and fear. They were formally censured after supposedly consuming wounded members of the allied [[Malagant Rifles]] as they retreated.{{Fn|3}}
During the [[Horus Heresy]], Yarant III became the site of a [[Battle of Yarant|battle]] between the [[Space Wolves]] and a coalition of traitor forces led by [[Abaddon]]. The Space Wolves were routed and [[Leman Russ (Primarch)|Leman Russ]] badly injured, though in the end they were saved by the [[Raven Guard]] led by [[Corax]].{{Fn|2}} Later during the [[Scouring]], Traitor forces fled to Yarant after the [[Second Battle of Vanaheim]].{{Fn|5}}
The [[Eldar]] fought [[Chaos Space Marine]]s within the Yarant System, with [[Farseer]]s identifying a site within the '''Timan''' valley's [[Sekarra]] jungles and swamps on [[Yarant IV]] as the headquarters of the [[Death Guard]] [[Chaos]] resistance.{{Fn|4}} The Eldar showed a diversionary force while [[Windrider]]s and six [[Revenant Titan]]s moved in secret toward the valley headquarters - overruning the [[Plague Marine]]s before they had chance to form an effective defence.{{Fn|4}} Within the week, Chaos forces left Yarant IV.{{Fn|4}}
