Zurcon Massacres
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Zurcon Massacres was an infamous engagement by the Flesh Tearers in late M36.[1]
The incident began when the Flesh Tearers engaged in a series of cleansings of Mutant and heretical populations in the Jericho Sector's Zurcon System. Upon their arrival, enemy spacecraft belonging to the system's natives opened fire upon the Flesh Tearers. The Flesh Tearers responded with overwhelmingly force, and after eliminating all enemy spacecraft launched an assault against the system's three settled worlds. The engagement lasted several years, but in the end there was not a single surviving Human of the planets assaulted by the Flesh Tearers.[1]
