Novum Deception
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Novum Deception was a battle fought in 806.M41. During a so-called mission of peace, a Tau Hunter Cadre launched a pre-preemptive strike on the capital city of Novum Prime, railguns destroying a dozen Vengeance Weapon Batteries before the Imperium was aware of the deception. In answer, the stronghold Citadel of Judgement opened fire on the aggressors with its macro-cannon, obliterating the Tau, and a third of the city itself, in a dozen apocalyptic shots.[1]
