Scourge of Chiros

The Scourge of Chiros was a sector-wide campaign of slaughter conducted by the infamous Forsworn Chaos Warband against the world of their former home sector of Chiros. The massacres and atrocities committed in the name of Dark Gods would forevermore be censured by the Inquisition, but to the Forsworn, would be one of their darkest and proudest achievements in the service to the Chaos Gods.

History
Returning to their former home sector of Chiros, the Forsworn engaged in a sustained war against Imperial forces, no longer satisfied with conducting mere piracy. Arriving in a flash over planets with a large fleet of their own ships and their mortal human followers, the Forsworn plunged the sector into terror of the fear of the ghosts of Costov come for their revenge. When the Imperial Navy amassed a response force to aid the Chiros Sector, the worlds they came to save were barren, destroyed, or their populations were in a frenzied state of debased corruption. However, the Imperial Navy would not have smooth sailing into the ruined sector. Numerous times the Battlefleet Tempestus fleet would be suddenly assaulted by suicidal remnants of Orbital Defense groups bearing a symbol agents of the Inquisition would come to dread - an eye with a dagger in the iris - the 'Eye of Wrath', icon of the Forsworn.

As it would seem that the Forsworn themselves were long gone from the sector, the Imperial fleet split to secure the various regions of Chiros. However, this was a plan devised by one of the Forsworn's Captains, Estorion the Silent. Under the aspiring Champion of Slaanesh's direction, the Five Hosts attacked and butchered the servants of the Imperium. The tragedy that was soon named the Scourge of Chiros was later classified and became forbidden knowledge by order of the Inquisition. To the Forsworn, however, it was a glorious triumph and a proper pillaging in the name of the Dark Prince.
