Torhaven is a War World of the Imperium.[1]
In M41, the Ordo Xenos dispatched a Deathwatch Kill-Team to Torhaven after receiving reports of Genestealer Cult activity on the world. Unknown even to the Inquisition, however, was that a Fortress on Torhaven's surface contained a secret cache of gene-seed belonging to the Ultramarines Chapter, which could not be allowed to fall into the Genestealers' hands. To ensure the gene-seed's safety, the Kill-Team was joined by an Ultramarine strike force led by the Chapter's Master of Sanctity, Ortan Cassius, who led his Battle Brothers in a series of desperate battles to purge the Cult from Torhaven.[1]
