Burning of Ventos

The Burning of Ventos was an Imperial castigation campaign conducted by the Blades of the Lion Chapter against an unnamed Ork WAAAGH! that invaded the Imperial world of Ventos. During the conflict, the system became inundated with a severe influx of greenskins which were drawn to the system by the violent conflict. Suffering severe losses, the Chapter was forced to withdraw and subject the doomed world to Exterminatus so as to prevent it from falling into hands of the greenskins.

History
The Burning of Ventos was an Imperial campaign involving the Blades of the Lion Chapter upon the Imperial world of Ventos, which they defended from a massive Ork WAAAGH! in the latter centuries of M36. Faced with an overwhelming tide of greenskin forces which seemed to be drawn to the brutal conflict on Ventos, and with two whole companies nearly destroyed, the Chapter was forced to enact Exterminatus upon the doomed world to prevent it from falling into the hands of the vile Orks.
