Woe of Maxil Betas

The Woe of Maxil Betas is a lamentable incident that occurred during the first decade of M37. Following the tainting of the supernova Maxil Betas by the corrupting influence of the Immaterium, several nearby systems were utterly corrupted by rampant mutations and warp-spawned monsters. The Warmachines Space Marine Chapter was one of several Imperial forces that took part in the Imperial purgation campaign to cleanse these systems of their foul taint.

History
The warp tainted supernova of Maxil Betas sun caused all nearby systems and Imperial forces to devolve into horrific mutants, possessed and traitorous monstrosities. The Warmachines are one of the Imperial forces mustered to put down the suddenly insurgent chaos forces, and move to conquer planet after planet in a crusade to reclaim the corrupted area of space. The entire crusade devolves into a brutal series of purges of barely human detritus, so many planets deemed unsalvageable in the wake of the chaos stars detonation that many are not even set foot upon by the Marines, they are merely destroyed from orbit in a storm of fire and retribution. No glory was found in that campaign, merely ash and death.
