Tranch Insurrection

by DM B  

Timestamp: 807.M41

Location: Tranch, Adrantis sub, Calisis Sector

Situtation: A mutant uprising in the soot warrens of the minor (by Imperial standards, by Calixian standards Tranch was an important world) industrialised hive world of Tranch rapidly develops into a planet-wide insurrections which topples the ruling class, the brutal Oligarchs of Tranch. The mutants have formed together into a unified faction calling itself the Pale Throng, led by a cabal of terrifyingly powerful witches and mutant-psykers known as the Shroud Council. As rumours of the successful rebellion spread, so do brushfire revolts and uprisings on other worlds in the sector, and the flames of malcontent are fanned. Lord Sector Hax realises the wider threat to Imperial order and declares a mass counter-invasion of the war-torn world to bring the rebellion to heel, calling on the Inquisition to dispose of the Shroud council, which they do, whilst Ordo Hereticus launches Operation Bellerophon to decapitate the mutant forces. At huge cost in lives and at the price of laying waste to much of Tranch, the Pale Throng is crushed, but its many factions manage to scatter off-world, while sympathisers still raise revolt in the pale Throngs name elsewhere.

Comment from:
Tranch is still troubled by insurrections and mutant uprisings, but none have yet been of the same order of magnitude as the original Tranch Insurrection. This is primarily due to the diligent work of the Orodo Hereticus - Tranch is an important area of operations for Hereticus agents. Various other - more permanent - solutions to the Tranch problem have been proposed, but their cost/benefit ratio is far worse than suppressing a few rebellions now and then. The cost of a few Guard regiments is negligible compared to the cost of depopulating/repopulating the world, especially when the loss of tithes is figured into the equation (Tranch is, despite everything, a productive world with an Exactus Particular tithe grade). As of 998.M41 another major insurrection is underway. Ten Guard divisions have be mustered or diverted from the Margin Worlds crusade to suppress it. The debate over final sanction has flared up again.
