Defence of the Varonus System

The Defence of the Varonus System was a castigation campaign, that was a part of the wider Indomitus Crusade, conducted by the newly created Primaris Space Marine Chapter, the Burning Fate to aid the fortress system known as the Varonus System and cleanse it of neverending waves of Chaos Cultist activity and uprisings. This was the newly created Chapter's first recorded battle honour.

History
This particular campaign is the first recorded engagement of the newly created Chapter. The Burning Fate was dispatched for their first mission to aid one of the fortress systems that guarded the Segmentum Tempestus for millenia. A non-stop wave of Chaos cultists and unknown xenos species rushed the worlds in order to weaken the borders of the Imperium. The Astartes would lay boulders bearing explosives in space for the ships to make contact with and detonate them. When the rest of the xenos and cultists landed the tactic known as the Fire Pit was used to burn alive the rest. This manoeuvre being very risky created a medium amount of casualties.
