| abstract | - The Geonide Crusade was an action taken by the Black Templars Space Marine Chapter intended to preserve important Imperial technology, scientific research and Adeptus Mechanicus personnel from a Chaos-inspired rebellion on the planet Geonide. The Forge World of Geonide was an Imperial planet worthy of note due to the scientific research being conducted within the mile-high laboratory facilities that dotted the planet's surface. The brilliant minds of Adeptus Mechanicus Tech-priests worked feverishly upon such important projects as new propulsion drives for the Imperial Navy's starships and the latest laser technologies. Then there were the classified projects involving artefacts and relics of bygone eras. Whatever the work, all is done with the interest of furthering the cause of the Emperor. However, underlying all this approved research was the possibility that someone might dig into heretical subjects outside the strict boundaries of knowledge set by the Imperium. Open rebellion against Imperial authority in Geonide's major cities erupted without warning, taking a heavy toll on the populace and priceless research facilities. Before long, the true cancer behind the unrest was revealed to be a newly formed coven of latent psykers tainted by the corruption of Chaos. These rogue psykers had been manipulated by Chaos Sorcerers into unleashing the unholy energies of ancient Warp-Drives stored on the Forge World to open a rift into the Immaterium. This allowed the Taint of Chaos to infect most of the planet's population, and the soon mostly insane and mutated citizens of Geonide proved very difficult for the remaining Imperial defenders to contain. Within a year, over 75% of the planet's population had fallen to the corruption of Chaos.
