Siege of Solaritus Solar

The Siege of Solaritus Solar was an Imperial campaign conducted by the 8th Costellian 'Raiders' Astra Militarum Regiment in 760.M41, in support of the newly created 2nd Solaritus Astra Militarum Regiment, when their homeworld was attacked by the Forces of Chaos.

History
One of the first missions for the 8th was to aid in the liberation of the world of Solaritus Solar, capital world of the Solaritus sub-sector, after it had fallen siege to the forces of the ruinous powers. Landing first, the Raiders fought alongside the 2nd Solaritus regiment, which had been in the final days of it's Founding when it had become besieged. Working alongside them, the Raiders established both a foothold and a chart of the area, working their way into the surroundings and causing chaos within the ranks of the foe, sabotaging supplies and ambushing patrols. This method of warfare, combined with their appearance, led to their Solaritan allies calling them the Raiders, a name that stuck. The actions of these Raiders benefitted the defensive siege warfare the 2nd had grown accustomed to, with them holding off the foe while the Raiders eliminated the supplies and manpower needed for the Archenemy to wage war.
