Prelude to the Death of Paterswold

History

Crusade

The foundation of the planet known locally as Paterswold is lost to the aeons of time, what is known of the world now only found in fragmentary data mined on Terra or other far flung Administratum data-worlds.

Paterswold was the keystone world during the conquest of the Golloch Cluster during the First Golloch War. All compliance materiel and troops passed through or by the world on their way to the many fronts of the conflict, picking up orders and supply, as well as acquiescing to quarantine examination.

Paterswold swelled even larger during the thirty years of the compliance, the tertiary grade hives were hugely expanded both in internal engineering at the behest of the Mechanicum and the hab and commerc domes which spread around them and along the main inter hive transport lines like bacterium in a petri dish. New cities and towns were founded, massive underground bunker networks and provenance stores tunnelled out of the bedrock of the world.

At the end of the Golloch Cluster's full compliance, over twenty Imperial Army, and three Solar Auxilia regiments were settled on Paterswold. The Golloch Cluster would be well defended by generations of warriors sworn to the Emperor of Mankind.

The Outbreak of the Heresy

Horus' great betrayal hit the rulers of Paterswold simultaneously with the news that a group of twenty industrialised worlds in the cluster's galactic north had sworn for the Warmaster and were at war with mankind. A large portion of the Gollochian Fleet lay at anchor above Paterswold and they were swiftly given orders to sail, plunging into the warp heading to reinforce strategically important systems and try to cut the traitors off from the rest of the cluster. Within a few months the entire cluster was in a state of war.

Five months after the news of the Betrayal, a traitor fleet entered the system. They stopped only at Paterswold to invade and batter the orbital stations into tumbling scrap and lay waste to every centre of industry on the planet below. A month of constant bombardment slew the world, and the traitor's fleet broke up, small battlegroups and raider formations heading off throughout the cluster to consolidate what had already been handed to them, and hunt the last of the Loyalists at large.

The Second Golloch War

On Terra the War council swiftly sent orders to Loyalist commands they could trust, and a battlegroup was formed. Most of this fleet were newly back from the far Galactic reaches, or had just finished or swiftly disengaged from other compliances. The plan was to rendezvous at Pater's World which was known to be Loyal, and resupply from the vast quantity of fuel and materiel stockpiled there during the Crusade.

This was not to be however, for when they arrived they found a shattered world, tumbling orbital infrastructure and a smoke and chem choked planet dotted with burning hives.

Knowing that the Loyalists would stop to resupply at Pater's World, the Traitors decided upon a scorched earth policy and also inserted stay behind units and poison pills, warbands of reavers sent to create even more havoc on the already dying world, and units who would ambush and disrupt Loyalist scavenging parties sent down to the planet.
