Vorakis was once an Imperium Nihilus Hive World, until the Word Bearers successfully invaded it in M42.[1]
Its population was massacred during the invasion and afterwards, the Traitor Legion forced the survivors to convert to the worship of the Chaos. Afterwards, the Word Bearers used them as slave labor to erect an immense shrine-fortress dedicated to the Chaos Gods. Once it was done, the Traitor Legion ritually sacrificed Vorakis' surviving population, in order to consecrate the shrine-fortress' completion.[1]
Notes
It is not clear if Vorakis lies in Segmentum Obscurus or Ultima Segmentum.[1]
