Tarka, also known as Tarka of Hymenes, was a Donian General and one of Macharius' six Army Group commanders during the Macharian Crusade, commanding the 3rd Army Group.

Described as a lean man with dark sin crisscrossed with duelling scars, Tarka was swift to take offense to any perceived slight to his honor. Tarka and Macharius originally met during the early victories of Macharius as commander of the Donian Imperial Guard during the Roxane Rebellion. His forces later discovered Adrantis Five, and in the subsequent war Tarka's Army Group lost 95% of its forces. The casualties left Tarka a broken man.[2]

During the later stages of the Crusade, Macharius ordered Tarka to garrison his men on planets already conquered and disbanded his 3rd Army Group. Tarka would later go on to play a part in the Macharian Heresy.[1]
