The Cholerclaust was a massive [[Blood Crusade]] following in the wake of the warped [[Keeler Comet]] from the [[Eye of Terror]] and on a course for [[Terra]] itself, lead by a [[Daemon Prince]] known only as 'The Pilgrim'.
The Cholerclaust was stopped on the small [[cemetery world]] [[Certus-Minor]], the resting place of [[Ecclesiarch]] and [[high Lord of Terra]] [[Umberto II]]. After initial success with overwhelming numbers of cultists, renegade [[Space Marines]] and [[Daemons]], against the half strength fifth company of the [[Excoriators]] [[Chapter]], under the leadership of [[Zachariah Kersh]], a small unit of [[Adeptus SororitasSororita]] s of the [[Order of the August Vigil]], and militia units, the [[Blood Crusade]] was stopped and then completely annihilated by the sudden appearance of the [[Legion of the Damned]] who also destroyed the Keeler Comet as well as the entire crusade fleet.
The defeat of the Cholerclaust is hailed as a miracle of the [[God-Emperor]] by many.
