Battle of Drogensul
The Battle of Drogensul was a campaign waged by the Death Guard sometime after the formation of the Great Rift.[1]
On the Industrial World of Drogensul, several warbands of the 1st Plague Company met stiff resistance from Imperial defenders. Death Guard dropships made repeated passes over the industrial fortress-factories, dropping spiked iron cubes the size of hab units that crashed down in the streets and manufactorums. Disease radiated from these rusting monoliths, and the Imperial defenders wasted no time in setting charges to destroy them. The true horror of the Death Guard's plan was revealed when the charges blew, rupturing the cubes and allowing the tightly-packed Poxwalkers inside to spill from the wreckage. Within days the Walking Pox was rife throughout the fortress-factories of Drogensul. Only then did the Plague Marines of the 1st Plague Company return to finish the fight.[1]
