Oscillia IX is a planet in the Sabbat Worlds which was occupied by the forces of Chaos.[1]

History

During the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, Oscillia IX was one of several planets targeted in the opening phase of Warmaster Macaroth's ambitious campaign to reach the Cabal Systems, commenced at the end of 765.M41.[1] Unfortunately, the campaign, regarded as a "sure thing" by most of Macaroth's staff, became a fiasco that lasted twenty grueling months, due to several miscalculations by the Imperial commanders.[1][2]

Several of these general officers, including Lord General Lugo, were "New Minted" commanders whom Macaroth had elevated quickly, expecting them - incorrectly, as it turned out - to shine in high command the same way Macaroth had, after his meteoric rise at Balhaut.[1][2]

Oscillia IX was eventually captured, but the length of the campaign and the resulting casualties provoked Macaroth's famous pronouncement, "Too much blood. Too much, too much. I cannot afford this spill, for the Emperor's sake."[1]
