Violet Night

Violet Night was the night of the first pre-emptive attack by the Djor that led to the Djor Invasion of Ortus. Clan Prichnak fired a highly-concentrated plasma energy ball from a specifically-constructed plasma mortar called the Liberator on Ortus which immediately killed thousands of civilians and paralyzed major communications. Later on, it was found out that Tomas Rasmussen was cooperating with the Djor in order to gain control of Praetorium and the Federal Terran Republic of Vespera.

The first contact with the Djor was made at Atmos Control Point. A Djor raiding party attacked and overpowered Ironfist Chapter who was holding the control point. The entire company was murdered and their corpses were desecrated. Second Force led by Tomas Rasmussen and Geroy Predka were the first ones to reach Atmos.
