Cult Wars of Heldebent

The Cult Wars of Heldebent was a planet-wide purgation campaign carried out by the Novus Kraekns Space Marine Chapter upon the world of Heldebent, which had fallen into bloody insurrection.

History
Beginning with several riots against authority on the world of Heldebent, the Lord-Governor of the world believed the PDF and Imperial Guard regiments under his control would be able to handle the "venting of riff-raff" as he called it. However, soon these riots turned into armed uprisings. Signs of protest changed to icons depicting the eight-pointed octed - the symbol of Chaos. Whole armies rose from the underhives and began an internal war against the Imperium. However, unlike many other cults, there were an abnormal number of psykers who seemed to be gifted enough to cause much destruction. When the Novus Krakens discovered the beleaguered status of the world, Meltrak believed that their fallen kin from the Leviathans Eclipse Chaos Warband might have some involvement with the cults, and decided to send the 2nd Company to put an end to the uprising. Whether or not the Leviathans Eclipse were involved is unknown, but nonetheless the 2nd Company began purging the world of heresy.
