They earned the title of Howling Wyverns for their ferocious offensive capabilities against opposing forces. The Howling Wyverns wore white armour with a black secondary colour on the faceplate, and dark green-blue markings on the shoulders, arms and legs.

Their flagship vessel was the Venator-class Star Destroyer *Manticore*.

## **History**

#### ***Battle of Averus***

A unit of pathfinders from the 841st airborne were dispatched to Averus via HALO jump while a small scale space battle took place in orbit between the Confederate and Republic navies. The pathfinders lost several personnel to AA and landing accidents, and then Avernus praetorians hunted several down, killing them regardless of their found state. They went on to sabotage a Praetorian supply base and ambush a supply convoy before the Republic FOB came under attack.

Striking quickly, the pathfinders killed various praetorians, uncovered the location of a praetorian supply line and base, destroyed an AA emplacement and regrouped at a newly established Republic FOB. A bit under half of the pathfinders were killed, wounded or missing in action at that point.

#### ***Town Siege***

Avery Hann's interrogation of prisoners earlier in the battle revealed the presence of a nuclear facility in one of the towns. Juniper Actias, Hann, Kyla Maerlia, Sarge and Jonathan Coleman scouted out the town. There was a military presence in the form of checkpoints, occupied buildings, and several squad speeder-cars and a main battle tank. Soldiers patrolled and performed searches throughout the area.

There were still civilians around, including a group of children playing catch, and elderly folk yelling at them to stay off their properties. Actias doubted that would stop the Republic.

Their scouting trip confirmed the presence of what appeared to be a nuclear facility within the town. Noticing the praetorians had massiff patrols searching for hostiles, they chose to withdraw from the area. One of the massiffs picked up their scent. They escaped without being spotted.

GAR forces besieged the town with artillery and had infantry and medics stationed nearby. Their medical personnel tended to any civilian collateral they could reach, as the artillery fire was indiscriminate.
