Of course, the [[Legionary|legionaries]] discovered it was impossible to conquer the xenocidal ecosystem without destroying the planet itself. Their efforts only poisoned the Clipse, both world and people. After a century of botched climate engineering, toxic shock attacks, and "clear and hold" nonsense, Ghaul wrote off the tormented clipse as "no longer essential to the strategic security of the empire." | Of course, the [[Legionary|legionaries]] discovered it was impossible to conquer the xenocidal ecosystem without destroying the planet itself.
