History
When Imperial Governor Bastor Nulaati came to power, he ordered a punitive strike against the Eldar Corsairs known as the Starkillers, which had for years harassed the traders of the Kabaal System, often taking cargo after a nonviolent surrender and sending the traders on their way. The Starkillers had actually stood vigil over Kabaal III and the tomb of Sleeping Ones[Note] within; with their vigil removed Eldrad Ulthran at the advice of Ulthwé's Dome of Crystal Seers launched a full-fledged assault on Kabaal III.[1]
When the fleets reached the world they razed the fertile farmland with fire and toxins – only the capital city of Inari, with its reinforced ecodome, survived the initial assault. Then, the Eldar made landfall and bombarded the ecodome for two weeks. In a desperate attempt to divide the Eldar forces as the dome fell, Govenor Nulaati ordered Commissar Lorr and the Black Platoon of Gamma Company of the XXII Valhallan Regiment to Kadaklan where they mustered a defence against the already awaiting Ulthwé Warhost – Eldrad had foreseen this gambit, however. The events of the Battle for Kadaklan are not in imperial record. What is known is that when the Emperor Class Battleship Fist of Righteousness arrived the world was lifeless, devoid of anything but the most basic single-cell life forms.[1]
