Спасение с экстерминатусом, как же.
exTeRminaTuS
“I hereby sign the death warrant of an entire world and consign a
billion souls to Oblivion.”
Exterminatus is the
last resort in war and punishment, used by
the Imperium
when all other options are exhausted. To declare
Exterminatus upon a world is to visit total and utter destruction
upon it. It is to sign the death warrant of every living creature
upon a world, and to render the surface a blasted wasteland,
inimical to life for millennia. To have earned such a fate
, a
world’s population must have been judged irredeemable in its
crimes, every single individual being found guilty of the very
worst of heresies..
Exterminatus may only be ordered by the very highest level
of authority, and any who enact it are answerable to the High
Lords of Terra. While raw manpower remains the Imperium’s
greatest asset, worlds are not so easily replaced, and those who
squander such resources seldom remain in power long enough
to make the same mistake a second time. The Inquisition
regards it as both an absolute right and a terrible burden that
theirs is the nigh exclusive duty of declaring Exterminatus.
Though other bodies may petition for this ultimate sanction,
Inquisitors bear the power to destroy worlds at a word.
In
practice, it is only the most senior, powerful and experienced
of Inquisitors who declare Exterminatus. This is because any
who do so are not only answerable to the High Lords, but to
their peers, whose judgement, if Exterminatus is held to have
been launched in error, is harsh indeed.
