Massacre of the Korbinites

The Massacre of the Korbinites was an immense slaughter conducted by Gamora and Nebula under Thanos' orders in accordance with his agenda of balancing the universe.
==Background==
In accordance with his plan to bring stability to the universe, Thanos embarked on a campaign to conquer planets and destroy half of all life on them. Seeking henchmen and warriors who would serve his cause, Thanos adopted orphans from the planets he invaded, creating the "Black Order". The members included Ebony Maw, Proxima Midnight, Corvus Glaive, Cull Obsidian, Nebula and Gamora.
Ultimately, Thanos learned of the Infinity Stones, six powerful objects that each represented an aspect of the universe which collectively had the capability to annihilate half of all living creatures in the universe. In an effort to fulfill their father's plans, the Black Order were instructed to conduct massacres on different planets and hunt for the Infinity Stones. In once instance, Gamora came in the possession of a map that led her to the location of the Soul Stone, sharing this discovery only with Nebula, whom she trusted out of all siblings.
==Massacre==
With Thanos giving the orders, Gamora and Nebula attacked Korbin and eventually claimed victory.
==Aftermath==
As the two sisters were dispatched to the Dark Aster, Ronan already sent Korath to retrieve the Orb on Morag. However, his efforts were thwarted by the intervention of Star-Lord, a former Ravager, who stole the Orb and planned to sell it to the Broker on Xandar. Korath reported his unsuccessful mission to Ronan, Nebula, and Gamora, so Ronan instructed Gamora to procure the Orb on Xandar, threatening her with a severe consequence if she failed. Unbeknownst to both Ronan and Thanos, Gamora harbored hatred for both of them and planned to sell the Orb to the Collector in an attempt to disappear from Thanos entirely. Her ulterior motives coupled with her fight with Star-Lord, Rocket, and Groot on Xandar subsequently led to their arrest and incarceration at the Kyln.
