It was besieged and eventually rendered uninhabitable by the forces of Ferrozoica, who had fought a trade war with them some 90 years earlier, following a war that raged for 54 days. Following the Imperial success, Warmaster Macaroth signed the Disolution Warrant that registered Vervunhive as extinct following the huge scale of destruction it had suffered and was ultimately leveled to make way for pastures. Afterwards a memorial was raised by House Chass to commemerate the fallen of Vervunhive, made from reclaimed weapons found within the ruins of the Hive.
