'''Tranquilatus''' is an [[Imperial]] world.{{Fn|1}} It was the site of a major daemonic incursion and a tense, near-fratricidal standoff between the [[Space Wolves]] and the [[Dark Angels]] during the grim days of the [[Wulfen]]'s return to the materium.{{Fn|1a}}
==History==
In the closing days of the [[M41|41st Millennium]], a sudden and violent [[Warp Storm]] engulfed Tranquilatus, unleashing hordes of the [[Ruinous Powers]] upon the planet. A [[Space Marine Company|company ]] of the [[Dark Angels]] [[Chapter ]] arrived to wage war against it and were already heavily engaged with the daemonic [[daemon]]ic forces when the [[Space Wolves ]] came.{{Fn|1a}}
[[Wolf Lord]] [[Sven Bloodhowl]] led the Space Wolves' of Strike Force Sagablade to Tranquilatus, guided by the auguries of the [[Rune Priest]]s to recover their lost brethren of the [[13th Great Company]], the [[Wulfen]]. Upon making planetfall, the Space Wolves successfully located a pack of the [[Mutant|mutated ]] warriors. However, the Dark Angels, witnessing the beast-like forms of the Wulfen, demanded that the Space Wolves surrender the "mutants" over to them for immediate judgment.{{Fn|1a}}
Before the standoff could escalate, a massive daemonic attack interrupted the standoff. Recognizing the dire strategic situation and prioritizing the recovery of his ancient kin, Wolf Lord Bloodhowl utilized the daemonic assault as a distraction to extract the Wulfen and withdraw his forces from the battlefield without exchanging fire with the sons of the Lion.{{Fn|1a}}
===The Changeling's Deception===
Though bloodshed between the Chapters was averted on the surface of the planet, aboard the Dark Angels' [[Strike Cruiser|strike cruiser ]] ''[[Silent Oath]]'', the [[Grand Master of the Ravenwing]], [[Sammael]], received reports of the Space Wolves' actions, seeing their retreat as craven behavior and believing they had abandoned the fight to protect monstrous abominations.{{Fn|1b}}
This suspicion was masterfully stoked by a [[Daemon]] of [[Tzeentch]], the [[Changeling]], who took the form of Master [[Astropath|Master Astropath]] [[Asconditus ]] and used the events on Tranquilatus to frame the Space Wolves as heretics and mutants, manipulating the Dark Angels into [[Siege of the Fenris System|moving against ]] the [[Fenris system]].{{Fn|1c}}
