Massacre at the Kyln

The Massacre at the Kyln was an immense slaughter of the inhabitants of the Kyln conducted by Ronan the Accuser and Nebula in the quest to retrieve the Orb from the traitorous Gamora.
==Background==
Ronan the Accuser tasked Gamora with retrieving the Orb from Star-Lord on Xandar where he would sell it to the Broker. However, these circumstances would ultimately lead to the arrest of Gamora, Star Lord, and bounty hunters Rocket and Groot. The four were sentenced to incarceration at the Kyln by Denarian Garthan Saal due to their violations of Xandarian law. At the Kyln, the three outlaws discovered from Gamora that she was planning to betray Thanos and Ronan and sell the to the Collector on Knowhere, who would in turn pay her four billion Units for her cooperation. Following their compromise, the four would ultimately escape from the Kyln after having formed an uneasy alliance with Drax the Destroyer, who harbored revenge against Ronan for killing his family.
Meanwhile, Ronan and Nebula learned through Thanos's contacts in the Kyln about Gamora's true intentions. On the Sanctuary, the pair discussed Gamora's betrayal through communication with the Other, who Ronan killed out of frustration. Thanos then reiterated his agreement to Ronan, promising to aid him in the annihilation of Xandar, although threatening the Kree with a gruesome punishment if he failed again.
==Massacre==
The Other led Ronan and Nebula arrived to the Kyln with a platoon of Sakaaran soldiers in an attempt to locate the Orb. However, they soon discovered that Gamora as well as Star-Lord, Drax the Destroyer, Groot, and Rocket managed to escape from the prison shortly before their arrival with the Orb in their possession. As a result, Ronan and the Sakaarans took over the prison in an attempt to gain information on Gamora's whereabouts.
On the second floor, Nebula began torturing one of the Nova guards about the location of Gamora, to which he responded that he did not know. Suddenly, Nebula received a transmission on her cybernetics that the Nova Corps were dispatched to defend the prison and its inhabitants. Ronan ordered Nebula to send Sakaarans across the galaxy to locate the Orb through any necessary means, and ordered that the inhabitants of the prison be executed in an effort to prevent the Nova from learning what they were after. As a result, all of the guards and inmates were killed by Ronan's soldiers.
==Aftermath==
Gamora and the four others traveled to Knowhere to sell the Orb to the Collector. After getting into a loud argument at the Boot of Jemiah, the Guardians of the Galaxy were summoned by Carina, the Collector's servant, who was ready to see them. While the Guardians met the Collector in his museum, Drax summoned Ronan to Knowhere, intent on gaining his revenge. However, before they could collect their payment, Tivan's assistant Carina, desperate to escape his abuse, attempted to take the Orb. This, combined with the arrival of Ronan and the Ravagers, resulted in the Skirmish on Knowhere.
