Siege of Olympia

Place: Olympia · Segmentum Ultima

Fig. 1 · Place on the map

Atrocity Perturabo pacifies his rebellious homeland — and dooms it to the status of “perdita”.

Learning of an uprising on his home world of Olympia, Perturabo brought the Iron Warriors to pacify the world by brutal methods. The Legion detonated its own missile stores, dooming Olympia to the status of “perdita” — an act of fratricide that finally welded the Iron Warriors to Horus in bitterness.
