The Siege of Balle Alpha was a battle fought between the Imperium and Orks under Warboss Gogard in M38.[1]

Overview

In M38, the world of Balle Alpha found itself besieged by Waaagh! Gogard. The city walls of the capital of Balle Alpha were well built however and initial attacks were halted with minimal Imperial losses. However the Orks regrouped and began to barrage the city walls with a force of Gargants. Shelling the city for days, just when the cities defenses were about to crack the Blood Angels arrived to save the day. Gogard's army became trapped between the Space Marines on one hand and the PDF defenders on the other, suffering heavy losses. The bulk of Gogard's army was destroyed and the Warboss himself was slain in a futile counterattack.[1]

One of the Imperial Regiment fought there was Balle 132nd Regiment "Fighting 132", the Earthshaker (Platform) of which defended the Balle Alpha.[2]
