History

998 M411a - precipitated by The Denab Incident1b - the Taros Campaign pitched Imperial Forces against the Taros Planetary Defence Forces (PDF), the Tau, and their Kroot mercenary allies in a series of battles over the planet Taros/T'ros. Prior to the campaign, Planetary Governor Aulis, head of the Taros government, developed friendly trading relations with the Tau, and sought to defect to the Tau Empire with the support of much of the planetary population.1c When his treachery was unveiled, the Avenging Sons Space Marines were called upon to assassinate Governor Aulis in what was to be the First Taros Intervention. The Avenging Sons were unable to carry out the assignment after suffering tremendous losses including one Dreadnought at the hands of the Tau forces already assigned to protect the capital Tarokeen and the governor.1d Following the assassination attempt the Tau officially annexed Taros while the Imperium gathered the 4621st Imperial Army to reclaim the planet.1e A large scale invasion followed including fleet actions within the Taros System1f however in the end Imperial forces were forced to retreat after suffering heavy losses including more than five complete Imperial Guard regiments' worth of troops, one Warhound Titan and several fleet vessels.1g
