:::::How about here? [[Edict of Obliteration]] ([[User talk:Ylyon84.|talk]]) 13:26, 11 March 2019 (MDT)
I will "park" it here for the time being. Since probably no official edict was issued and the High Lords were not involved we can't put it there. I have found the short story in my shelf and will read it to make up my mind. Presumably something like an article about non-imperial human civilizations. --[[User:Inquisitor S.|Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum]] ([[User talk:Inquisitor S.|talk]]) 13:37, 11 March 2019 (MDT)
<nowiki>===The Passing of Angels===
In [[The Passing of Angels (Short Story)]], [[Sanguinius]] is tasked to destroy a civilization and condemn it to oblivion. The reason for such a large scale act of censorship was the use of an ancient weapon from the [[Old Night]]. This sort of gravity mine completely erased a bubble of existence in a radius of 5 km from the planet, swallowing all civilians and soldiers in it. The [[Emperor]]’s retaliation for the employment of weapons from the Old Night was absolute. The [[Blood Angels]] were tasked to wipe out the culture of this human civilization (whose name is censored as "H____" throughout the whole story), its name forgotten and never mentioned again. Moreover the surviving inhabitants were split and sent to other planets, while their home-planet was given to other colonists. This course of actions and destiny seems to echo what happened to the two unknown legions.{{Fn|42}}
