Anneth Vestrix
Anneth Vestrix is an Inquisitor who had Necromunda's Hive Secundus destroyed after its Cult of the Second Son Genestealer Cult infestation became a threat to the Hive World.[1]
History
She had this done with Necromunda's Eye of Selene Space Station, as the Inquisitor had decided that the Hive World was too precious to the Imperium to use an Exterminatus to do so. Once Hive Secundus was destroyed, Necromunda was declared to be free of Genestealers and Vestrix left the Hive World. This was later proven to be untrue, though, as not only did the Cult of the Second Son survive, but the weapons used to destroy the Hive had given rise to the Malstrain Genestealers which now dwelled in Secundus' ruins. While this was eventually discovered by the ruling Imperial House Helmawr, it was decided to keep the infestation a secret from the Imperium, rather than risk that an Exterminatus would be reconsidered to deal with the threat.[1]
