Rydol II Campaign

The Rydol II Campaigns is an Imperial retribution campaign carried out by the 4th Company of the Ebon Knights Space Marine Chapter against the recalcitrant world of Rydol II, which had fallen into insurrection and attempted to declare their independence from the Imperium of Man. The Ebon Knights launched a brutal campaign and purged large portions of the population, cleansing them of any heretical elements.

History
The 4th Company of the Ebon Knights Chapter advanced 2,000 kilometres in a bold, armour-borne operation, crossing the Burning Plains of Rydol II's equatorial deserts and toppling the outflanked and ill-prepared rebel theocracy in a single night of retribution and bloodshed. The Ebon Knights instigated a brutal purge of the population, after which the people of Rydol II were declared free of heresy. Before taking their leave of the war zone, the Chapter asserted recruitment rights over the population, from which it draws Aspirants to this day.
