Traigo is an Imperial Death World in the Quintillus System, which is located just outside Segmentum Solar. During the Horus Heresy, it became one of the many worlds fought over by the armies of the Imperium and Warmaster Horus.[1]
History
Traigo is tidally locked to its sun and as a result one side of the world is a scorched, uninhabitable wasteland and the other half is a frozen unforgiving environment. In this grim and unholy place, the remnants of a Human population, descended from colonies that were created before disaster struck Traigo, survive in the Death World's frozen half. Most rarely live past their teens, but due to this harsh environment, Traigo became a recruitment world for the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade. However, when the Horus Heresy began, this also made it a target for the Warmaster's forces. Though many of the Traitor Primarchs refused to recruit from anywhere save their own homeworlds, they sought to deny such a resource to the Imperium and arrived en masse within the Quintillus System.[1]
The Traitors' invasion of the world became known as the Cleansing of Traigo,[2] but not all hope was lost. Luckily, the Imperium had control of the Audus Listening Post and became aware of the attack on Traigo. This allowed it to send small Loyalist Legion squads to drive back the Traitors. Among them was the Ultramarines officer Drakus Gorod, who led his forces against Apothecary Obryk's Iron Warriors.[3] However, like all the worlds in the Quintillus System, Traigo's final fate is unknown.[1]
