'''The Cerberus Insurrection''' was a conflict involving the forces of the [[Imperium ]] and the renegade prisoners of the [[Cerberus ]] prison Colony colony, bolstered by ancient super-soldiers, it . It is noted as the only time [[Space Marine]] and [[Thunder Warrior]] forces have ever engaged in battle.
==Events==
The brutal '''War Hounds''' who would go on to become the infamous [[World Eaters]], were tasked alongside the [[Terran]] [[XXIInd Dracos Regiment]] of the [[Imperial Army]] to subdue the asteroid prison colony of [[Cerberus]] which had risen up in anarchic revolt in a state of near continuous rioting and mob violence. Initial attempts to impose order by Terran troops had been thrown back in disarray as it became apparent that among the insurrectionists was a renegade cadre of outlawed [[Thunder Warriors]], long believed dead, calling themselves the '''Dait'Tar'''. With many of the [[Space Marine]] Legions already assigned to the first Expeditionary Fleets of the [[Great Crusade]] and en route to the stars, the Emperor Himself dispatched His War Hounds to Cerberus with explicit instructions to reclaim Cerberus colony and carry the Emperor's wrath to those that had defied Him.{{fn|1}}
