Compliance of Trakgor

Armorial of the Chameleons.

The **Complinace of Trakgor** was an Imperial castigation campaign carried out by the Chameleons Space Marine Chapter which had spurned the light of the Emperor and joined the upstart T'au Empire.

## History

In the year 277.M40 a force of marines lead by Captain Kraaw were hailed for assistance by Inquisitor Janice Malor, she requested aid in the compliance of a world that had spurned the Emperor and allied with the Tau. While relations at this time were not great with the inquisition, Captain Kraaw obliged and the combined forces under Janice Malor plunged into the marshes that surround the sole hive city on Trakgor.

### Struggle in the Marsh

The initial stages of the campaign were bloody, especially for the guardsmen directly under the inquisitor, with devastating ambushes being extremely common in the marshes. Even the Chameleons could not rest as the Tau’s firepower and ambushes reigned supreme, Captain Kraw would even be heavily wounded in one such ambush and required heavy bionic modification. After roughly six months of continuous ambushes, frequent disease outbreaks, and a rapidly rising casualty count the Chameleons would make a breach in the enemy line and the scions of the 54th Ilrekian Eagles would join them. The Tau and rebel guardsmen of Trakgor began a full retreat as the tide of scions pushed through, retreating all the way behind the walls of Pekan.

### Slaughter of Pekan

The siege lasted only a few weeks before a loyalist contingent of civilians within Pekan would make contact with the Inquisitor. They informed the inquisitor of a chemical waste outlet that could be used to lead a small force into the city, allowing the imperium to destroy the cities shields and open the gates. Captain Kraaw and what remained of his forces as well as the 54th Ilrekian Eagles would be the saboteurs that would open the gate for the purge to begin. The mission at first went well, the outlet was obviously abandoned and safe enough for travel with minimal hazard gear, the loyalists within the wall were even escorted back to imperial lines by the chapter’s serfs. The road to the shield generators was a bloody slog for the scions and Chameleons with half the force dying before they reached the generators. After shutting off the generators the full might of the Tau and rebels came to bear, and in the end a mere tenth of the saboteurs made it out alive (thanks mainly to quick deployment of scions following the shields shut down). Eventually the city gates would be opened and the city of Pekan began to burn as the inquisitor’s simple orders “Purge them all” rang out over all vox frequencies. It would take several days before every last xenos and heretic could be dragged out of the filth of the underhive and purged, but the city of Pekan was finally free. A full re-population effort would be undertaken, with the loyalists who lead the marines inside the wall receiving rewards and placement at the top of the worlds governmental structure.
