Slaughter of Clan Mackenzie
The Slaughter of Clan Mackenzie was an action undertaken by the Eversor Temple of the Officio Assassinorum.[1]
It was discovered that Clan Mackenzie, the ruling family of Dunroamin VI (an Imperial Mining World) had financed pirate raids on the rival Mining Worlds of Rouan and Nearly-There. An Eversor Assassin was sent to Dunroamin VI with orders to kill not only the clan's Grand Duke, Fraser Mackenzie, but every one of his living relatives. The Eversor struck during the Clan's annual Grand Hootmanay festival, and by the end of the night had succeeded in killing Fraser Mackenzie, his youngest relative of three weeks old, his eldest relative of one hundred and forty two, and all three hundred and fourteen other members of his extended family. During the night the Eversor resorted to all sorts of improvised weapons to complete the imposing task, including a butter knife and a silver soup spoon.[1]
