===Overview===
[[Image:CyclothratheSymbol.jpg|thumb|right|{{PAGENAME}} symbol{{Fn|43}}]]
Cyclothrathe is a rocky, barely life-sustaining world wracked by violent electromagnetic storms. Once a planet belonging to a long-defeated [[xenos]] empire known as the [[Mitu Conglomerate]], it was part of the semi-autonomous [[Mechanicum]] '''Cyclothrathine Holdfast''' before the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|2}}
Its northern continent was dominated by the ''[[Cyclopean Mind]]'', a massive crashed Mechanicum war barge. The forge world's isolation led its ruling Archmagos Draykavac to become increasingly isolationist and secretive, which helped in their decision to side with Horus during the Heresy.{{Fn|2}}
Cyclothrathe was one of the largest and most significant forge worlds during the Horus Heresy era, with considerable control of much of the Imperium's northern reaches. Under Horus' patronage they embraced any and all forbidden technology. Cyclothrathe's [[Taghmata]] was controlled by Archmagos Draykavac. They specialised in the use of profane [[automata]] and [[Knight]]s augmented with devices whose operation often proved as dangerous to allies as it was to the enemy.{{Fn|3}}
