Fall of Tenzebar
The Fall of Tenzebar was a battle of the Horus Heresy fought from 013-014.M31.[1]
History
The battle saw the traitorous Cthonian Headhunters launch an assault on the Fortress World of Tenzebar in Segmentum Solar. The traitors quickly overran the world and butchered its population before fragmenting and launching further raids upon Segmentum Solar.[1]
As the Siege of Terra raged, the raids suddenly ceased without warning and during the Great Scouring a White Scars expedition discovered the world devoid of life. It was eventually discovered that the 209th Expeditionary Fleet, a joint Dark Angels/Thousand Sons force that went missing 30 years prior to the Heresy, was responsible for cleansing the planet. The Imperials quickly covered this up and reported Tenzebar as being retaken with the White Scars, who clashed with the "traitorous" 209th in the aftermath.[1]
