Battle of Raerrgh
In -1941 two forces clashed near the end of the Rule of Man, and the end of the Second Imperium.
Named for Raerrgh, a peaceful Vargr colony world and loyal member of the Imperium under Antarian, supervision. Provoked into open revolt by discrimination which threatened their survival, they decided to take matters into their own hands.
The 1st ruling council, after the great riots, faced off versus what became known as the Army of the Skull, in the Wolf-Stag Mountains. A patrol of 2 infantry platoons in trucks, with 4 MBT, (2) 5.5cm Mortars, and an armored car were taken under fire in the narrow mountain pass.
