The Reclamation of Kathur was one of the many sub-campaigns making up the 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41. Having been afflicted by the Curse of Unbelief, the Shrine World of Kathur was a primary and well-publicised target for reclamation by the forces of the Imperium of Man in order to boost the morale and faith of the Imperial warriors fighting for their lives all around Cadia.

| abstract
| - The Reclamation of Kathur was one of the many sub-campaigns making up the 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41. Having been afflicted by the Curse of Unbelief, the Shrine World of Kathur was a primary and well-publicised target for reclamation by the forces of the Imperium of Man in order to boost the morale and faith of the Imperial warriors fighting for their lives all around Cadia. Believing that the opposition would only be cultists and zombies, the Imperial plan was straightforward, with a first battlegroup under the command of Overseer Maggrig sent to secure Solthane, the capital of Kathur, to recover the most important Imperial relics housed in the city, and establish a base for the more numerous forces which would then scour the world of the Plague Zombies city by city. Ancient debts of honour saw the Raven Guard Chapter commit one half-company of Space Marines to the endeavour. Unfortunately for the servants of the Emperor, the Plague Zombie outbreak on Kathur was but a consequence of a trapped Daemon Prince's psychic plea for help, and when it was answered by Typhus, arriving in force in the Terminus Est, the Imperial spearhead was forced into a desperate race to eliminate the trapped Daemon Prince before Nurgle's Herald could free it.
