Indrid is a planet in the Sabbat Worlds Cluster, which was occupied by the forces of Chaos.[2]


History

Indrid was the last of the objectives of Operation Redrake, the initial phase of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, launched in 755.M41. The task of capturing it was given to Lord Militant Cybon, whose assault faltered as the Chaos forces, finally alerted by the near-simultaneous assaults on Formal Prime, Onscard, and Long Halent, rapidly brought in reinforcements from the nearby worlds of Melsar and Taliscant. Cybon, caught fighting on two fronts, justified Slaydo's confidence in him, executing a feigned withdrawal that drew the Archenemy forces into the range of his artillery batteries at Colquis. Despite this, however, the campaign dragged on into 756.M41, until Cybon ended the stalemate with orbital bombardment.[1]

This would not be the first time Cybon was willing to bombard his own troops to achieve victory, and one of his subordinate commanders, Marshal Blackwood protested so vehemently that (it was rumored) it was for this reason that Blackwood was later transferred to Ashek II.[1]

The fall of Indrid marked the completion of Operation Redrake, but also signaled the start of the difficult second phase of the Crusade, as Archon Nadzybar assembled his opposition forces in earnest at Ashek II, Melsar, Taliscant, Gotthrone, Lucius, Hesketh, Cociaminus, Fornax Aleph, and Ambold Eleven.[1]
