The '''Pyropurge''' was a battle waged by the [[Imperium]] in [[M40]].
Using psychic means, the [[puritan]] [[Inquisitor]] [[Dethrec Balthagar]] and his [[Deathwatch]] allies rooted out every last trace of [[Genestealer]] infection on the planet [[Jauseth Septima]]. However, a fourth generation [[Genestealer Cult|cultist]] with the germ-seed of the alien left the infected world three weeks earlier aboard a cryopod shuttle, and he later returned to his home planet. Within three years of Inquisitor Balthagar’s death in service, Jauseth Septima was overrun once more.{{Fn|1}}
