Atmos Massacre

On the night of 24 Tauris 302, a Djor raiding party attacked a control point held by Praetorium in the northeast of Nora in Ortus Province. The raiding party easily overpowered the outnumbered and outgunned Ironfist Chapter, killing 62 soldiers and executing commanding officer Abel Brand.

Background
Main article: Vesperan-Djor Relations

The attack seemed random and pointless even though Vesperan-Djor relations have always been unstable.

Attack
The attack began at around midnight when scheduled patrols were returning from their assigned waypoints to exchange personnel. The raiding party started the assault with a suppressing fire from heavy bolters. Silent alarms were sounded and Captain Abel Brand was immediately notified.
