Donian Crusade

The Donian Crusade began (c.985.M39) to combat the swelling Ork population sweeping through the Donian sector and surrounding wilderness space in the southern Segmentum Pacificus. The original Crusade Marshal, Brother Austein, was killed in battle on the planet 'Nickel 5', and was succeeded by Marshal Wernher (c.988.M39). The Crusade lasted roughly 17 years before the High Marshal declared it successful in c.002.M40. Wernher went on to later become the Marshal of the Thangdorn Crusade.
