M 41. 12.5.000:
The Ganoga Rebellion
Captain Aric and the 5th Company Of Imperial Fists responded to the emergency beacon that a brave loyalist faction had sent out just before their commanding officer had ordered his Commissars to be executed and any members of the Ecclesiarch to be burned alive. The majority of the planet was now under control of traitor guardsmen and vile Chaos cultists. Women, children and the elderly were butchered or forced into slave labor. It was from orbit that Captain Aric made note of the mass trench lines criss-crossing the landscape on the main continent. He knew that the Iron Warriors were here. Nearing the capital city in their Thunderhawks, Captain Aric's suspicions were confirmed. A dozen Storm Birds and a sea of steel colored Rhinos, Land Raiders and Vindicators lay behind huge earth and stone walls. Quickly he dispatched his assault units to the traitor guard front lines and led his most veteran tactical squads directly into battle with their rival fallen brethren, while the remainder of the company pacified the surrounding settlements. Despite the fortifications and well placed fire power of the Iron Warriors and traitor army, the swift action and precision attacks of Captain Aric's Marines, over ran them in a brutal fifteen hour siege , that forced the Iron Warriors to retreat. Without the leadership of their Chaos Marine masters ,the guard army and cultists scrambled for survival, though no mercy was shown for the enemy of the glorious Emperor.
