Yria Massacre
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Yria Massacre occurred when a strike force from the Silver Skulls Chapter defended the Imperium world Yria from a Dark Eldar invasion.[1][2]
Disaster struck the Silver Skulls during the battle when a Cronos Parasite Engine used its life stealing technology to decrepitly age several members of the strike force, including Captain Alkon.[1][2] Shortly afterwards, the Dark Eldar received additional reinforcements that helped to overwhelm the Silver Skulls and earned the battle its name.[2]
