Well, /tg/?

Never disagree with a Space Marine.
>>47172132
A tragedy, but the Blood Ravens did the honorable thing with both the dead and the traitors.
Orders are orders.
It appears that the time to talk is over, so what is there to discuss?
And just think, if Horus hadn't fucked it all up and caused the separation of marine and Imperial army/navy, the IG would have obeyed the marines' orders and withdrawn.
>>47172132
Breaking news, grimdark setting finds shitty excuse for fighting of 'allied' factions. More news at Eleven.
>>47172149
Except that one Marine is countermanding all of SegComm. This doesn't pass the Smell test.

It's about the same as any other sort of regional skirmish between knightly orders who swore fealty to the church over any regional authority, versus regional armies.
If someone won't back down, they're gonna come to blows.
Normally someone backs down.
Imperial Guard would probably have been executed for not following orders or something stupid depending on who is running Segmentum Command.
Optimal solution would have been to try and get the Space Marines to vouch for them.
Blood ravens were in the wrong, they pretty much always are.
>>47174039
They should have offered to help the marines instead of simply refusing to evacuate.
The marines likely wouldn't have allowed it, but they also simply demanded they abandon their posts.
Both sides were retarded.
>>47175326
>Both sides were retarded
Nnno. Both sides were tasked with promoting Terran sovereignty. Which faction worked in step with Terran interests and which decided TK was okay because hubris?
>>47172132
You're missing the line before this one where Thule says
>We purge this world under the authority of the Chapter Master of the Blood Ravens
Meaning the purge of Kronus was ordered by Azariah Kyras. Which can't be a good thing.
It was a Tau world, and it went back to being one when both of those gue'la idiots died.
>>47179301
>lost world to humans
>couldn't even reclaim it until humans and other aliens wiped each other out
Pathetic.
>>47176907
Which Incidentally is not a political authority the space Marines have. Thule and the Blood Ravens were acting outside of their remit and authority, but got away with it because they killed everyone who could report them
Kronus was purged so the Blood Ravens could cover up their dirty laundry, it was all engineered by Kyras.
>>47172132
Never trust a Librarian.

They also claimed their authority came from the Emperor Himself, but then of course they would.

>Due to rampant heresy and overwhelming xeno influence, the Blood Ravens have declared the planet of Kronus to be mundis prohibitis. In order to protect what uncorrupted holy relics may remain on this benighted world, and to prevent any spread of the cancer gripping Kronus, the Chapter Master and Chief Librarian of the Blood Ravens has ordered that a great purge take place. Brother-Captain Davian Thule, commanding elements of the First, Second and Fourth Companies, shall lead this crusade. Standing at his side shall be Chaplain Mikelus and Librarian Anteas.
>Therefore, the Imperial Guard forces serving under General Lukas Alexander and currently dispatched to the planet's surface, are hereby ordered to cease and desist at once, and to evacuate the system forthwith. This order comes under the authority granted to the Space Marines by the Emperor Himself at the dawn of His rule.

And they were reported, but still managed to get away with it, just barely.

I like how they invoked the authotity given the legendary First Founding legions for the crusade of galactic reclamation that occurred hundreds of millennia before the Blood Ravens' pissant little chapter was even a gleam in Ahriman's occular bezel. The Codex Astartes most certainly does NOT condone shooing-away - or burying - allies who might witness whatever it was that the Magpies didn't want anyone to see them stealing.

It was bullshit then and bullshit when they tried it on Kaurava. The only difference was Stubbs wasn't around to take any shit n Kronus.
