'''Tanakreg''' was an [[Imperial]]-held world until its destruction at the hands of the [[Word Bearers]] [[Chaos Space Marine]] legion.

Tanakreg was known for its formidable air-defense network<sup>1</sup> and its immense salt mines. It was also home to a [[Necron]] [[Monolith]], buried deep within the planet's crust.
It was attacked in ''date'' by the [[Word Bearers]] [[Legion]] led by a [[Dark Apostle]] by the name of [[Jarulek]]. The local [[PDF]], numbering approximately 200,000 men, was subsequently slaughtered. They believed that the [[Necron]] tomb was a weapon that could be used against the Imperium of Man, in order to disable Imperial warp travel.<sup>1</sup> They unknowingly unleashed the Necrons, and it can be reasoned that this was one of the first encounters with the Necrons themselves.
Among the [[Imperial]] forces sent to reclaim the planet, the [[Elysian Drop Troops]] and [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] pursued different agendas. The [[Imperial Guard]] wished merely to annihilate the [[Chaos Space Marines]] and retake the world, whilst the Adeptus Mechanicus desired to keep the Word Bearers from discovering the Necrons.<sup>1</sup>
The Imperial deployment saw a pair of [[Titans]] used.
==Chaos Taint==
Tanakreg saw the construction of a [[Gehemamet]], a Chaos entity built from the bodies of the dead. It was presumed that this massive tower was to transform the planet into a [[Daemon World]], but instead was used to shatter the planet's crust and reveal the Necrons beneath.
