Destruction of Voecarro

The Destruction of Voecarro was an Imperial castigation campaign conducted by the Graven Skulls Chapter against an unnamed Necrons threat on the Imperial world of Voecarro.

History
Voecarro was a Necron Tomb World covered in ever shifting sands and inhabited by only small pockets of hardy survivalist clans. However, the Necron Dynasty buried below soon rose, utterly exterminating the inhabitants of the planet and beginning the process to convert the surface into the Necron world beneath.

Unusually, instead of simply purging the planet with orbital bombings, the Graven Skulls 3rd Hallowed deploys in its full might to quash the threat. So it was the Necron forces hunted the Skulls for 100 solar hours, playing a deadly game of cat and mouse that would climax on the Bul Plateau. It was here the Graven Skulls fought their foes of living metal head on, standing as a bulwark as their brothers evacuated to the heavens above. Finally, when only Nujuk and his Voidwrath guardians remained, the Necron Lord surfaced.

In a brutal battle Nujuk laid low the fiendish Lord, rending his torso in two with his power scythe. But the death of their lord only served to embolden the Necron's relentless advance. As their gauss beams cut down Nujuk's guards and tore his flesh, a series of sudden, catastrophic explosions shook the planet. As if from the Necrons very own shadows, unmarked and bolt pistol armed Space Marines appeared and tore into the living steel army. The Harrowed squad had placed melta charges at the very core of the Tomb Worlds systems, causing tectonic upheaval so great the entire surface of the planet became a molten hellscape. Nujuk and his remaining guards were saved that day as the Harrowed fell on those grounds, a testament to the tenacity of their craft.
