The Rusliv Crusade

A xenocidal campaign, the Rusliv Crusade is a Imperial effort to claim the region of space known as the Koronus Expanse.

History
During the Imperial effort to claim the region of space known as the Koronus Expanse, the Graven Skulls initiated a bloodying of several worlds in the area, striking crucial disabling blows against multiple defenders of the region. This thankless duty assisted greatly in achieving compliance with fewer losses.

A notable encounter was with a Xenos empire now lost from record, in which the Graven Skulls slaughtered the occupants of three ships, broadcasted the event to the xenos capital, then launched the ships into the planet itself using precise short fuse torpedoes. In the wake of this terrifying spectacle came the Graven Skulls drop pods, Night Stalkers and Thunderhawks. The Skulls' drop pods landed in the centre of the xenos cities, while armoured columns tore across the lands between, obliterating any attempt at resistance. It is said that the Lord of the Harrowed subjugated a city himself, using purely fear as his weapon. When these planets had been laid to waste, Hydraxon oversaw Exterminatus on the home planet Colm'cha. After the planet was laid to waste, the Skulls left before the forces of the Crusade arrived.
