The Conquest of Xeroa was a xenocidal campaign carried out by the 4th Company of the Emperor's Trident Space Marine Chapter to cleanse the Xeroa System of Ork infestation and free the human population that been long held in captivity by their greenskin masters. During this campaign, the Emperor's Trident managed to recover a small amount of Chapter relics that had been stolen over a decade earlier by Warboss Dakka 'ead, though thousands more were still missing.
History[]
A system thought long-dead from numerous Ork WAAAGHs!, the Emperor's Trident's 4th Company entered the Xeroa System and immediately was attacked by Ork ships, the ships collided and brave battle-brothers managed to used their to disable the thrusters at a high cost, when the company reached the planet they discovered the human population enslaved by Orks of the Goffs Klan. The company laid vast orbital bombardment upon the Ork stronghold and away from main human populated area. The chapter then made planet-fall via drop-pods. To the human slaves it was a nothing more than a gift from the Emperor as they witnessed numerous drop pods of the Emperor's Angels of Death rained from the Heavens. Seeing this made the enslaved humans rebel with a fury like no other. The Orantian Pirates were given strict orders to protect the humans of the world and help arm them. A major Ork empire was splintered while the chapter then took extermination campaigns around the planet then system.
When the chapter started to leave the system they were ambushed by ork ships hidden in a nearby asteroid belt, the warboss of this fleet belonged to Dakka 'Ead. The 4th Company lost many in the ambush. As soon as the company could muster up a defensive position, Dakka 'ead's flagship fled. When the flagship fled the company managed to board all the smaller vessels. What the 4th Company found were a few trophies stolen from the Diasorlor eleven years earlier. Unfortunately only a dozen of trophies were found compared to the thousands that were taken.
