Zanzamon is an Imperial Industrial World, that is located in the Eastern Fringe's Bakhar Sector.[1]
History
In M42, it became attacked by Xenos and a plea for aid was sent out. This was later received by an Ultramarines strike force that was led by Lieutenant Vincius. However, the strike force was engaged in battle with the forces of the Chaos Warlord Hargaal Xere and had become stretched thin. As a result, it could only spare Sergeant Gideon's Assault Intercessor squadron to aid Zanzamon. When they arrived at the Industrial World, however, Gideon's squadron discovered it was being attacked by a small Necron force from the Szarekhan Dynasty.[1]
They soon learned that Zanzamon was a Necron Tomb World and they faced just a vanguard of the awakening legions beneath the world's surface. Gideon quickly requested aid to deal with this emerging threat, but, due to the battles with Hargaal Xere, it would be weeks or months before the strike force's reinforcements arrived. Despite this setback and being heavily outnumbered, Gideon knew that his squadron had a unique opportunity to strike a telling blow for the Imperium. The Intercessors then fought to eliminate the awakened vanguard and discover a way into the Szarekhan Dynasty's tomb complex. If they succeeded, Gideon and his squadron would be able to destroy great swathes of the Dynasty's army before the Necrons could rise up and claim Zanzamon.[1]
