The Kato Campaign was fought by the Imperium in 762.M41.[1]

Overview

The Catachan MXIV ‘Unseen Lurkers’ Regiment, led by Colonel 'Steel Eye' Black, battled Orks of the Deathskulls clan on the shadow world of Kato.[1]

Dire visibility and exceptionally rough terrain reduced the war to a never-ending string of bloody skirmishes that tested the skills of the Catachan infantry to their limits.[1] The situation for the Imperials wasn't helped by the Orks managing to loot a Deathstrike Missile Launcher, which necessitated the deployment of a squadron of Catachans led by Sergeant Stryker to neutralise it.[2]

Neither side was able to gain an advantage until Sentinel teams locate and destroy the Orks’ Stompa factory, hidden in the depths of the Widow Valley. The Deathskulls responded by launching an all-out final offensive that threatened to overwhelm Imperial forces with its sheer ferocity. However, the Orks’ attack was caught in the jaws of a series of Catachan ambushes, the coolly strategic Colonel Black dissecting and destroying the remaining Ork forces over three days of bloodshed.[1]
