Secoris Tragedy
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Secoris Tragedy[1] was a catastrophic Space Hulk cleansing operation undertaken by the Blood Angels Chapter in 996.M40.[2]
History
The entire Chapter, under Chapter Master Sangallo,[3] boarded a Space Hulk after it appeared in the Secoris System, near their homeworld of Baal. However, the Blood Angels discovered tens of thousands of Genestealers in hibernation within it. The ensuing resistance on board the Space Hulk was so great, that only fifty Battle Brothers[4] under Captains Kadeus and Dante survived the battle.[3]
