Thrassos Disaster
  Adransa Cluster |
The Thrassos Diaster was a battle fought between the Imperium and Orks in 928.M41.[1]
Overview
Waaagh! Dregdakka plowed headlong into the Adransa Cluster, causing untold devastation. On the planet of Thrassos a combined force of Space Marines from the Iron Knights and Liberators Chapters attempted to halt the Orks’ steamroller advance. A horde of Orks including Dregdakka himself are lured onto a huge refinery platform before Techmarines destroyed all bridges linking the platform to the mainland. Space Marine kill teams then deployed across the hulking structure, tasked with slaughtering the trapped greenskins and assassinating Dregdakka. Yet the Adeptus Astartes had woefully underestimated their foe, the greenskins digging in and fighting back with unexpected tenacity. Though they killed thousands of Orks, over three hundred Space Marines were slain and their comrades were overwhelmed as yet more Ork vessels poured into the system. His trophy poles rattling with freshly harvested Space Marine helmets, Warlord Dregdakka’s position was now unassailable. His Waaagh! completely overran the Adransa Cluster within the year.[1]
