I like the fact that while we normally hear of Extrerminatus as this thing done whimsically on the drop of a hat a kind of "Oh one Ork showed up? better drop the Extrerminatus!" but in this scene (and game as a whole) we see not only what it takes to declare the death of a world, but how it effects those who make that call. No one sounds angry and there is no sign unwillingness at it but they lament that they must do it and consider all the lives they are ending with a single order.

[@praetor9822]

You can tell no one wants to do it. Not even the Inquisitor pulling the trigger. Such a thing means the Inquisition has failed.

[@dragonslair951167]

Funny you should say that; in truth, the Imperium can indeed be quite trigger-happy with Exterminatus. For example, there's the story of Cyrene, the homeworld of Gabriel Angelos, the one talking about tragedy. Gabriel is quite secretive about the reason he requested that the Inquisition declare Exterminatus upon Cyrene, because Cyrene was a special case. When Angelos and the Blood Ravens investigated Cyrene on suspicion of heresy, what they found was not your garden-variety tale of an Imperial world falling to Chaos corruption. Instead, the world was going through a cultural change of a very different nature; they were preparing to throw off the shackles of the Imperial Creed and embrace such forbidden ideas as planetary democracy, free trade with non-hostile xenos, and allowing psykers to practice their powers unrestricted while living among the population without stigma or being handed over to the Black Ships. They wished to become a world where the people truly ruled their own fate. Soon after making this discovery, Angelos and the Blood Ravens withdrew and contacted the Inquisition (Though not before Angelos killed his own father in cold blood for supporting this political movement), to destroy this world before any of its dangerous ideas could spread. Always remember that, even where the taint of Chaos is entirely absent, even before the Emperor's grand designs were thwarted by the Horus Heresy, the Imperium was a nation which believed that in order to save Humanity, it would need to rule them all with utter ruthlessness. The Emperor, for all his supposed wisdom, cast aside his humanity to fulfill his grand dream of humanity's ascendance, and thus sowed the seeds of his downfall.

The Inquisition doesn't sacrifice a valuable labour-and-materials resource trivially, no. It's either to prevent a cancer from spreading or to deny it to the enemy.

[@Wulfborn]

CircleTheSkies Average humans? Yes. The galaxy as a whole? No. The Imperium of Man is up there in absolute worst things to happen. The only 'non evil' races in WH40k are Orks who just want fights, and at best Tyranids driven by their nature to consume. If the Emperor were to wake up, he would lead a new crusade to put the current Imperium of Man down hard.

[@michaelmerritt7406]

Wulfborn Wholly in-accurate. The Imperium laid waste to whole planets whom they couldn't easily bring into the fold. The Emps himself hurled meteors at 40k's version of the Federation.

Gabriel Angelos has always been awesomely voice-acted AND well written. A consistently enjoyable character.

[@michaeltariga5285]

Jon Snow Actually no. The jews are not like the tyranids/chaos/xenos/enemies of Mankind who's are hellbent on destroying the Imperium. Also Nazi officers does not equate to the Inquisition, ever. Where did you get that idea? The Inquisitions task is to root out all kind of heresy, xenos and threat to mankind(a real threat and danger to the whole human race), thus the reason why Inquisitor Adastria in the game has been called by Gabriel Angelos so she can see if the Exterminatus that is about to fall on Typhon can be halted by her presenting evidence to the black ships that the local forces of IG and Spacemarine can stop the spread of chaos, heres and xeno attack at subsector Aurelia. However the threat of the Tyranid going back to the sector, Ork pillagers and the spread of chaos is all to real thus the reason of Exterminatus. So no, your example is incorrect. Also that ISIS thing example you brought up is also bad and ill-informed. It is the local forces in the region(Iraqis, Syrians, Kurds, Turks and the few christian catholics) who are fighting ISIS and not the US, go read the news.

[@jonsnow7586]

I never said the Jews were like the Tyranids/Chaos/Xenos/enemies of Mankind, I was referring to them as the innocent party (Ie, the millions of innocent civilians on Typhon who had to die). Also, you could easily compare the Imperium in general to the Nazi's or just generally bad guys. Racism, super-soldiers, genocide, superstition, symbolism, zealotry, thousands of souls sacrificed every day to keep the Emperor semi-alive etc. My ISIS example was not ill-informed. The US are fighting them via air strikes and the US is the only country in the world (aside from Russia) with the nuclear capability to level an entire region, so I couldn't well use any other country in my example.

[@michaeltariga5285]

Jon Snow The sacrifice of human lives living in Typhon is unavoidable. General Castor(correctly) said that they cannot enact a massive evacuation of innocent people/soldiers/humans away from the planet without the enemy sniffing their movement and then either sabotaging the evacuation or worse escaping into orbit too. I cannot say that there are no innocent people involved in the exterminatus of Typhon Primaris but what I can say is that the alternative of not sacrificing those million of innocent is far worse if heresy/xenos/chaos is allowed to flourish in the carnage(another dead world consumed by tyranids, an ork empire or worse a daemon world). Also you cannot say that the imperium has not done anything to prevent the Exterminatus of Typhon Primaris because they had poured countless of resources and men on the Subsector up to the point that they send an inquisitor(or perhaps one of many inquisitors) so she can investigate the matter and halt the exterminatus. I can also compare the Imperium to Rome or to Sparta or even ancient China or Japan and even Persia for that matter. Racism, elite/super-soldiers, genocide, superstition, symbolism, zealotry, thousands of souls sacrificed every day to keep the Empire semi-alive etc. As for the ISIS thing, the brunt of the force attacking ISIS today is the local kurds/syrian and Iraqis. The coalition is doing little because they have confidence that the local force(as they promised) is able to stop ISIS. It is a bit insulting if one ignore's the effort of the local soldiers/militia's doing the brunt of the fighting. Also, what the hell why are you comparing the imperium to real life things!? Where is the fun in that?

[@MarkusRamikin]

Jon Snow "I was referring to [Jews] as the innocent party (Ie, the millions of innocent civilians on Typhon who had to die). " - no, that's not what you were doing. You're very sloppy with your analogies. A better example would be if the nuclear powers of the world nuked some innocent country off the map because an engineered supervirus had an outbreak there, and if not contained, it threatened to decimate or wipe out the whole planet. That's the level of threat that uncontained heresy represents in W40k. Note that it's still not an analogy to something that's actually happened, because it hasn't, because OUR WORLD ISN'T NEARLY AS CRAPSACK AS W40K and therefore doesn't warrant that level of response. That's why any comparison of the sort you've been trying is nonsense. Yeah, the Imperium is a dystopia, but the threats to the Imperium are such that even the best intentioned, most moral and sane Inquisitor may sometimes find themselves forced to sign off on an Exterminatus as the lesser evil.

To be fair, the Death Star evaporates planets in a single shot. However iirc they can only do it once in a blue moon.
