History
Tanakreg was known for its formidable air-defence network[1] and its immense salt mines. It was also home to a Necron Monolith, buried deep within the planet's crust. The planet was attacked and devastated by the Word Bearers in M41.[1a][1b]
Chaos Taint
Tanakreg saw the construction of a Gehemehnet, an immense Chaos entity built from the remains of the capital city and 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 Monolith beneath.[1b]
