Rebirth of Nildril III

The Rebirth of Nildril III was

History
Nidril III was the first planet to suffer the bitter hatred of the Void Ravens' full Chapter. Even today, nearly ten thousand years after their departure, the inhabitants of Nildril III still watch the depth of space with terror, chanting their endless payers to the Emperor ever louder as the night fall. Is is only on worlds belonging to the Imperial Cult that greater fervor in the God-Emperor can be found, and for the Void Ravens, it is proof enough that only pure terror can keep the masses of the Imperium in check. That all men and women older than 8 had had to be killed during the Rebirth does not matter.

The Void Ravens came to this world after years of silence, secretly hoping that the inhabitants had been enslaved by xenos or all killed already, for the alternative was too much an abomination for Nuran Kale and the survivors of the Heresy and the Great Scouring to contemplate. Therefore, when their star-ships entered the space around Nildril III to see the civilized world littered with vast monuments dedicated to the Chaos Gods, nothing could contain their wrath. The Ravens descended upon this world, where more than four billion souls still lived, and they began their slaughter. No one was safe during the five years of the campaign, save for the very young children who were still pure of body, who were spirited away by the Chapter and educated by its serfs.

When the reinforcements that the Void Ravens had called at the apex of their brutal campaign came, the Astartes left them a world utterly devoted to the Emperor, whose terrified youth was all the more ready to do anything to prove its loyalty. Never has any other force of the Imperium had to come again to restate the power of the Imperium on this world. After all, Kale warned the children : if the Void Ravens ever had to return to Nildril III, they wouldn't let mercy tie them as it had during the Rebirth.
