The '''Atmospheric Incinerator Torpedo''' uses an advanced plasma device that bursts in low planetary orbit and literally ignites all oxygen on a target planet. This method of exterminatus was used on [[Medusa IV]] in the [[Medusa system]] after it was determined to be too difficult to reconquer from the forces of Chaos that erupted from [[Van Grothe's Rapidity]] despite the presence of the [[Ultramarines]] second company. It is said that the planet's surface was melted to glass and that the entire world burned like a piece of amber in space even a month after the attack had been launched.{{Fn|1}}
