Reign of Carrion

The Reign of Carrion is one of the first recorded campaigns carried out by the recently created Incursors Space Marine Chapter upon the recently re-discovered world of Enrathu. During negotiations between the Administratum and the nobles of Enrathu, it was soon discovered that the rot of Chaos had secretly spread amongst members of the nobility. They were wholly dedicated to the Plague God Nurgle. The Astartes company cleansed the capital palace with flamer and blade, and then launched an orbital bombardment to ensure the corruption was halted in its tracks.

History
When the recently re-discovered world of Enrathu was found and brought into the Imperial fold, a company of the recently created Incursors Chapter was sent to conclude negotiations for the planet's mandatory tithe to the Administratum. This honour fell to the 4th Company. When they arrived on Enrathu, the captain came to negotiate tithes from the planet. After eight days, when negotiations were finally coming to an end, the Incursors captain had a suspicious feeling about the nobility. Out of curiosity, the captain wandered the halls of the palace alone, and only when he neared giving up his search he discovered their dark secret - the noble family had been experimenting on the palaces' servants, infecting then with various plagues and toxins. When this secret was relayed to the rest of the Astartes stationed in the palace, they were immediately attacked by plague cultists and mutants. The remaining company in orbit made planetfall, hoping to keep the tendrils of Nurgle within the palace's walls. What followed were many days of intense indoor fighting. After the last member of the palace was killed, the company immediately cleansed the entire palace of the infectious rot before subjecting it to an orbital bombardment. As they departed they contacted members of the Inquisition's Ordo Hereticus to conclude purgation operations on the infected planet.
