Krade

Krade is an Imperial world in Ultima that the Iron Warriors fortified as a delaying position against Guilliman’s advance during the Horus Heresy. This entry concerns the world as the site of that campaign, as recounted in Slaves to Darkness, and not any other settlement named Krade without a primarch involved.

Perturabo spent several months at Krade preventing the Ultramarines and veteran Imperial Army forces from reaching Horus’s rear. Argonis then arrived with orders to abandon the siege, locate Angron, and muster at Ullanor. Perturabo withdrew most of the IV Legion, the Iron Warriors, and left Soltarn Vull Bronn to hold a war that had already cost the Legion heavily in warsmiths, its engineering specialists.

Krade remains a named Iron Warriors delaying position on the approach to Terra. The summary retains Ultima as the parent region and distinguishes Krade from Olympia, Medrengard, and later, unrelated locations of similar character.
