The Six Hour War was a battle between the Ultramarines and the Tau in 913.M41.[1]

Overview

The battle occurred on the planet K'ail close to the Damocles Gulf. K'ail was garrisoned by a strong force of T'au. Captain Severus Agemman performed the perfect operation of his Strike Force Ultra. The battle was won due to a coordinated attack on the T'au defence network and garrison itself. Whilst twenty veterans of the Chapter stormed through the central defence line and Stormraven-borne space marines destroyed the munition cashes around the perimeter of the garrison, Agemman personally led a teleport assault and strike to the T'au command node, which forced the xenos to think that they was surrounded on all sides. As a result, the T'au decided to retreat from the planet.[1]
