Purge of Ildebad

The Purge of Ildebad was a campaign conducted by the Novus Krakens Space Marine Chapter against an unknown enemy on the world of Ildebad. This little known campaign is only remarkable as it led the creation of the Dragon pattern bolter turret was created as well as a former Captain acquiring a warp-tainted weapon that would eventually lead to a Chapter-wide schism.

History
Perhaps the only reason this conflict is remembered despite being dated before The Fall of Mobidium is purely because it was the conflict that directly predates the great schism in the chapter. It was in this conflict that the Dragonet pattern bolter turret were created by the Chapter's Marteide (Techmarines), proving to be a successful weapon in the chapter's arsenal for times to come. This conflict also provided the traitorous former Kaptein (captain) of the 8th Company, Androgous Mokurn, with the warp-tainted power axe that would serve to create the divisive schism in the chapter.
