Evacuation of Okig

The Evacuation of Okig was a failed Imperial defensive campaign conducted by the Parakonian Thunderhooves Astra Militarum against invading World Eaters upon the Imperial world of Okig. The Parakonian Thunderhooves willing sacrificed themselves against the ravenous Heretic Astartes in order for the population to evacuate from the surface of the doomed planet.

Background
During a hopeless defence against the Agri world of Okig by a ravenous warband of World Eaters Heretic Astartes, the Parakonian 57th led a series of independent diversionary offensives against the warband and their blood pact auxiliary forces. Losses were severe but the regiment was capable of stalling the enemy advance long enough to evacuate hundreds of thousands of imperial civilians to the waiting imperial transports in orbit.
