Thomas Gaudin's homeworld was the brutal Death World '''Sturmundrang'''.  Ancient weapons and pollution had scoured the skies and soil of this populous planet, making its atmosphere lethal to an unprotected man.  But these atrocities did not end the planet's wars, as the bloodshed of centuries called down to each new generation.  Only the Primarch was able to end the violence of Sturmundrang, through conquest. The fierce sons of this scarred world made superb recruits to the Crusaders, taking especially well to the implant of the Black Carapace.

After the breaking of the Legion, Sturmundrang continued to be the principal source of recruits for the chapter, though in time it was lessened as other worlds including Terra, Harkon, Rhanna and other worlds in Segmentum Solar also contributed recruits for the Chapter. However the main fleet base for the Legion remained over Sturmundrang, and the character of the planet never left the Chapter.
