Elucidan Schism
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Elucidan Schism was a war in the Adeptus Mechanicus between the two principal Electro-Priest factions: the Fulgurites and the Corpuscarii. The war began in 923.M39 when hard-line Metalica Fulgurites shot down a Corpuscarii congregation on a pilgrimage to Mars, claiming their wasteful ways would destroy the balance of the priesthood upon the Red Planet. The resultant civil war raged for several hundred years, and the planet has been a lodestone for militant Electro-Priests ever since.[1]
