Stratopolae was a world held by the Iron Warriors during the Great Crusade, before it was lost in a mass Hrud migration.[1]
During the Great Crusade the Primarch Perturabo led his Iron Warriors, in an extermination campaign against the Hrud in the Vulpa Straits. Instead of removing the threat the Hrud posed to the Imperium as he had hoped, Perturabo's attack merely caused the Hrud to begin a mass migration. Stratopolae was garrisoned by the Iron Warriors' 14th Grand Company, under the command of Warsmith Barabas Dantioch, when the Hrud suddenly materialized on the planet. The Iron Warriors were unprepared for the sudden attack and fell victim to the Hrud's sheer numbers; and their entropic fields, which rotted their fortifications and aged the Space Marines' bodies to dust. In the end Stratopolae was lost to the Hrud, along with the planet Krak Fiorina and the Fortress World of Gholghis.[1]
