Grizzlepit Convicts

The Grizzlepit Convicts are a Genestealer Cult that promises to bring liberation to those imprisoned on the Imperium’s Penal Worlds. Though it is now active on many Imperial worlds in the Reductus Sector, the Grizzlepit were created on the Penal World Damnathor V . The Genestealer Cult’s name came from the mining labour some convicts had to endure there and it was able to infect generations of Damnathor’s population due to the Sector not having a need for Penal Legions. When Hive Fleet Leviathan invaded the Reductus Sector though, the Imperium began the Stratos Campaign to combat the Tyranids. The Sector’s garrisons also focused on the threat, but Damnathor V’s doom came when the Hive Fleet neared it. The Tyranids approach caused the Grizzlepit Convicts to begin a rebellion on the Penal World and they were able to overthrow Damnathor’s wardens.
