Obstiria

Obstiria is a world of barren black rock, battered by radiation from solar flares. Despite its harsh conditions -- or perhaps because of them -- Obstiria was the home world of the Obsidian Glaives Space Marine Chapter. The Obsidian Glaives were Second Founding Successor or Primogenitor Chapter of the Ultramarines. In the year 998.M41, Obstiria was the first planet to bear the brunt of the Ork Warlord Grukk Face-rippa's Red WAAAGH!. The majority of the Obsidian Glaives Chapter mobilised to hold back the Ork menace, but despite slaying hundreds of thousands of greenskins that made planetfall, ever day saw millions more land upon Obstiria until the Space Marines were utterly annihilated.
