At the time of the Horus Heresy, the Xhorik System was a lynchpin system and the focal point for one of the most brutal and hard-fought campaigns of the war. The conflict started as a skirmish for control of a border city between two nations with a rivalry that long pre-dated the forced unification of the Great Crusade and spiraled into a system-spanning conflict that would claim the lives of tens of millions and impact the direction of the entire Horus Heresy.
