'''Anneth Vestrix''' is an [[Inquisitor]] who had [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]]'s [[Hive Secundus]] destroyed, after its [[Cult of the Second Son]] [[Genestealer Cult]] infestation became a threat to the [[Hive World]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
She had this done with [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]]'s [[Eye of Selene]] [[Space Station]], as the [[Inquisitor]] had decided that the [[Hive World]] was too precious to the [[Imperium]] to use an [[Exterminatus]] to do so. Once [[Hive Secundus]] was destroyed, Necromunda was declared to be free of [[Genestealers]] and Vestrix left the Hive World. This was later proven to be untrue, though, as not only did the [[Cult of the Second Son]] survive, but the weapons used to destroy the Hive had given rise to the [[Malstrain]] Genestealers which now dwelled in Secundus' ruins. While this was eventually discovered by the ruling [[Imperial House]] [[House Helmawr|Helmawr]], it was decided to keep the infestation a secret from the Imperium, rather than risk that an Exterminatus would be reconsidered to deal with the threat.{{Fn|1}}
