Liberation of Elliniká

The Liberation of Ellinika was a xenocidal purgation campaign carried out by the newly incepted Blades of Elysium Space Marine Chapter upon the world of Makedonia in the as-yet uncleansed Ellinika System in the Ultima Segmentum. After cleansing this world of the xenos Kentavroi, the Chapter claimed tithe rights over the newly cleansed world and established their presence within the system. This was the first recorded campaign carried out by the Chapter.

The Chapter was granted sovereignty over the world of Makedonia, in the not yet cleansed Ellinika System in the Segmentum Ultima. After being granted dominion one of the planets in the system, the Chapter began purging the system of its Kentavroi overlords and fought them for 30 years, before ending them in a last battle on Makedonia. The Astra Militarum regiment commanders became the rulers of Attikí, then the rest of the system. The Chapter begins hollowing out Mount Parmenon and turning Thásos into a stronghold.
