Molorian Revolt
The Molorian Revolt was a battle of the Great Crusade.
Waged in the early stages of the Crusade in 800.M30, the war began when the recently conquered Imperial world of Molor rose in rebellion. The 8th Company of the VIth Legion (then not under the leadership of Leman Russ) was dispatched to put down the rebellions. However, due to the poor discipline of the early VIth Legion, what began as a surgical strike against the renegade governor rapidly degenerated into a massacre against the planetary population. In Molor's capital, the VIth Legion's Space Marines massacred all they encountered, to the extend that the industrial capacity of the planet was put at risk. It was only by the brutal efforts of the Legion's Consul-Opsequiari Disciplinary Corps, which conducted many summary executions, that any within the city survived.[1]
