Primarch's Home worlds

[space marine schnauzer]

Is there a reason that the home worlds of the primarchs destroyed..

 

Were they destroyed due to the betrayal of the primarchs and the legions. Are they just

so chaos tainted that they needed to be purged from the galaxy?

[Legatus]

It was usually because the Legion's HQ was stationad on the Primarch's homeworld. At least that seems to be the obvious reason.

[Arkangilos]

The Night Haunter destroyed his own world, I believe Olympus was also destroyed by their own Legion, and Prospero got shot into the warp, didn't it?

 

For the rest, I would agree with Legatus.

The city of Tizca, or at least a part of it was transported to the planet of Sorcerers, the planet itself was bombed to the point that the ecosystem was destroyed. Caliban seems to be the only loyalist planet that was destroyed (chaos taint though). The others still exist with populations on them and then there are the two missing primarchs who assumably had their own planets at some stage. Those planets might still exist and because the records were expunged they might be important planets in the Imperium today.

[Chapter Master Ignis Domus]

No, every traitor homeworld was destroyed. The worlds would normally turn traitor with their legion, and since they could be considered to be the root of the evil, you're going to be annihilating them. The Alpha Legion planet is probably still around, as no one knows where or what it is. Not even the Emperor, probably.

No offence, brother, but not quite. The planets exist, but all of the Traitor homeworlds are barren wastelands, according to each Legions' IA. The only exceptions are Alpahius/Omegon and Angron's homeworlds, simply because no one knows where they are.

 

Chemos (Emperor's Children) was bombed from orbit then quarantined by the =I=.

 

Olympia (Iron Warriors) held out against a combined Ultramarines and Imperial Fists attack for two years but was finally destroyed (fitting for the Iron Warriors, heh). The planetary stocks of missiles were detonated, turning it into a vast barren wastel and declared Perdita.

 

Nostromo (Night Lords) was utterly annihilated on the orders of Curze himself.

 

Barbarus (Death Guard) was destroyed, no details but I doubt Garro would have allowed the planet to even exist after the Heresy.

 

Prospero (Thousand Sons) was made lifeless by orbital bombardment.

 

Cthonia (Sons of Horus) was listed destroyed in the 3rd edition SM codex.

 

Colchis (Word Bearers) was turned into a cinder by the =I=, cyclonic torpedoes don't leave much behind.

i believe that cthonia became very unstable, and when it was bombed, fell apart.

and also the UM destroyed colchis

I haven't heard of this, but it would make sense. The planet was mined to the core as is.

The Ultras got there to subdue the planet, but it was already a wreck. All of it's industries were destroyed, and it's people were barely clinging to life. The big =I= then ordered the planet hit with cyclonics, triggering a chain reaction with the planet's unstable ecosystem, and the planet was annihilated. (IA: Word Bearers)

None taken as you mistook my meaning. The populated worlds I was referring to are those that belonged to the loyalist primarchs as the original post might otherwise suggest that every world that received a primarch was eventually destroyed.

[Legatus]

There had been a few attempts at destroying the loyalist Primarch's homeworlds as well. The Thousand Sons attacked Fenris to take vengeance for the Wolves' attack on Prospero, and during the early stages of the Heresy the Word Bearers had attacked Ultramar, though they started with Calth, not on Macragge directly. Caliban was torn apart during the struggle between the loyalist Dark Angels and the Fallen.

[Jim Shady]

I thought one or two was left but they are under quarentine or something by the =I=? Sure I read this somewhere... And the rest are no more than asteroids floating in deep space.

[Hyaenidae]

Technically, Chemos and Olympia are still there, just declared Perdita and cleansed of all life and atmosphere.

[malika666]

Barbarus got destroyed after the Heresy I guess. However, the Adeptus Mechanicus visited it in M36 to look for the blueprints of the Terminus Est, but by then the world was already declared Perdita.

And that turned out well for the cog boys! The blueprints were for the Despoiler Class Battleship's and they were flawed but they didn't realise this til it was too late!
