==History==
As part '''Signus Prime''' is the main planet of the Signus Cluster, a system of Horus' plans seven [[Hive World]]s. Once a major industrial center, the System of Signus fell prey to assault the agents of [[TerraChaos]] during the dark days of the [[Horus Heresy]]. It became a [[Realm of Chaos]], he used his rank a system of Warmaster to disperse loyalist legions throughout [[Daemon World]]s, and fell under the galaxy to prevent them being able to aid in rule of Kyriss the defense Perverse, [[Greater Daemon]] of Terra[[Slaanesh]]. He commanded the Blood Angels be dispatched to Kyriss raised for itself a vast palace on '''Signus Prime''', where a and its [[daemon force led by ]]ic horde rampaged across the Greater Daemon system, utterly destroying hundreds of years of Khorne Ka'Bandha laid civilization and annihilating several planets. The entire populace was either butchered, enslaved, or corrupted, and all hope fled its inhabitants. Deliverance was to come, ironically, in wait to ambush the form of [[Sanguinius]] and slay the [[Blood Angels|Blood Angels Legion of Space Marines]], sent by the [[Horus|Warmaster Horus]] to what was supposed to be their doom.
It is indicated==The Blooding of Signus== In an effort to divide the loyalist forces, though [[Horus]] had dispatched those [[Space Marine Legion|Legions]] who could not confirmedbe swayed to his cause to the furthest reaches of Imperial Space, setting traps for them in the hopes that they would either be destroyed or too bogged down to assist the [[Emperor]] until it was too late. To this frenzied battle end, the [[Blood Angels]] had been tasked with the cleansing of the Signus Cluster, which [[Horus]] claimed to be under the control of xenos tyrants. [[Sanguinius]] had no reason to doubt his brother [[Primarch]], and so it was that he and his walked blindly into the snare set for them. Upon arrival in Signus, the [[Blood Angels]] were immediately beset by daemonic forces and the raw power of the [[warp]]. Many of the non-[[space marine]] crew went mad from exposure, and the Blood Angels were forced to detain them. In the midst of this, Kyriss the Perverse sent an image of itself directly into the chamber of [[Sanguinius]], daring the [[Primarch]] to attack. The Lord of the [[Blood Angels]] rose to the challenge, and unleashed the fury of his [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] upon '''Signus Prime''', personally leading his elite companies in an assault on Kyriss's palace. It was there that noble [[Sanguinius]] face [[Notable Chaos Characters|Ka'bandha]], [[Bloodthirster]] of [[Khorne]]. ==Angel's Fall== As [[Sanguinius]] and his forces may have contributed neared the palace of Kyriss the Perverse, a massive [[daemon]] the colour of dried blood rose to meet him. Its name was [[Notable Chaos Characters|Ka'bandha]], [[Greater Daemon]] of [[Khorne]]. Ka'bandha attemped to coerce Sanguinius to the cause of Khorne, but the Lord of the [[Blood Angels]] developing could not be swayed, and attacked the [[Bloodthirster]]. He dealt the dreaded [[Black Ragedaemon]]a vicious wound, but was in turn cast to the ground, his legs crushed by the coils of the beast's whip. As he watched, helpless, [[Notable Chaos Characters|Ka'bandha]] slaughtered his way through the [[Blood Angels]], killing over 500 of them. The massive psychic trauma knocked [[Sanguinius]] into unconsciousness, and unlocked something dark within the members of his Legion. ==Angel's Fury== With the fall of their Lord and the butchering of their brethren, the [[Blood Angels]] were consumed by a dark rage that drove them into the [[daemon|daemonic]] horde with a berserker's fury. '''Signus Prime''' was utterly purged, with even the mighty Kyriss being banished back to the [[Immaterium]]. It was only after every daemon and cultist had been slain that the Blood Angels regained their senses. Their immutable wrath had left a shadow across the minds of the survivors, and '''Signus Prime''' became forever a place of darkness in their memories.
