[[Image:Black Templars - Geonide bannerb.jpg|right|thumb|Banner of the Geonide Crusade]]
The planet Geonide housed an [[Imperial]] research facility where member of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] worked on projects for the [[Imperial Navy]], like new propulsion drives and laser technologies. The research involves classified artefacts and relics, bringing with it, the risk of digging in to heretical subject. <br>
Without warning, Geonide came to face open rebellion in it's cities, taking a heavy toll on the population and the research facilities.
It was discovered that a group of latent [[psyker]]s were tainted by the unholy powers and lies of [[Chaos]]. They opened a rift in reality by using the energies of the [[Warp]]. Within a year 75% of the population of Geonide had fallen to Chaos and formed an army together with Deamons and other warp-spawned creatures.
Normal methodes for reclaiming the planet failed and the [[Inquisition]] called for an [[Exterminatus]]. However, before the execution of the Exterminatus, the [[Black Templars]] were dispatched to retrieve valuable artefacts, research documents and Imperial personnel that weren't tainted by chaos.
