'''The Circudus Offensive''' was a large scale offensive made as part of the [[Cabal Salient]] during the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]] between 765 and 773.M41.{{Cite this}}

After the [[Battle of Balhaut]] in 765, [[Warmaster]] [[Macaroth]] pushed forwards, leaving many worlds undefended. A Chaos armada took advantage of this, using razed earth tactics to destroy six worlds in the unguarded flank; including the famous forest world of [[Tanith]].{{Fn|1}}

The armada was eventually turned away after a 36 -hour naval battle near [[The Circudus]] which is what gives the offensive its name.{{Fn|1}}

Despite being a minor side show in the larger crusade, many billions of civilians lost their lives and an unknown number of Navy and Guard personnel.{{Cite this}}
