View source for Harvest of Chogros

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was a battle fought between the [[Dark Eldar]] and [[Imperium]].{{Fn|1}}

In 543.[[M41]], the Dark Eldar [[Kabal of the Broken Sigil]] launched a series of raids on the [[Feral World]] of [[Chogros]]. Chogros is known for its [[Ogryn]] population, often recruited from by the [[Imperial Guard]]. For [[Dark Eldar]], ogryns are prized raw material for the twisted [[Haemonculi]], and make excellent opponents for the [[Wyches]] in gladiatorial fights.{{Fn|1}}

The war between these hulking [[abhumans]] and the Dark Eldar was brief, and thousands of ogryns were captured and forced aboard the Dark Eldar's transport ships. The Imperial Guard was furious at what had happened and sent [[Catachan Jungle Fighters|Catachan]], [[Elysian Drop Troops|Elysian]] and [[Katon]] regiments on Chogros on search and destroy missions.{{Fn|2}} They were not successful. Those [[Guardsmen]] who were not killed were also captured by the Dark Eldar, taken back to [[Commorragh]] and sold to the [[Wych Cult]]s. In the end, those Guardsmen were forced to fight in the arenas against the very ogryns they had intended to free.{{Fn|1}}
