Vortis was a world conquered by the traitorous Warmaster's forces during the Horus Heresy. It then served as a source of Aspirants for the Sons of Horus Legion, as they began to quickly increase their numbers.[1]
In M41, Sergeant Greiss and the Catachan XIV fought on Vortis against an unspecified enemy. During the operation, Steel Toe Dougan's bionic leg was bitten by a hostile animal, resulting in a short circuit that sent a lethal shock across the mandibles of the beast.[2]
