Battle of Hespher II
The Battle of Hespher II was a battle waged by the Imperium, to end a separatist insurgency on Hespher II.[1]
Imperial Guard Regiments of the Death Korps of Krieg and the Voltern Cuirassiers aided a Salamanders Company under Shoen'lo, but the Captain clashed with the Death Korps on how to deal with the insurgency. Shoen'lo desired punishment and repatriation for all those separatists that could be shown the error of their ways, but the Death Korps had no interest in this. They instead used their firepower to brutally crush the insurgency, but matters came to a head when they destroyed a hab-complex that Shoen'lo was in the middle of clearing separatists from. While the Captain and his Company emerged unscathed from the hab-complex's rubble, Shoen'lo immediately went to confront the Death Korps' commander about the attack. When the Captain later departed, Voltern onlookers bore witness to a sight they had never thought to see – genuine terror amongst the Krieg's officers. Afterwards, the remainder of the campaign to end the insurgency was done according to the Salamanders' strategic stipulations. After the separatists are defeated, the Krieg and Shoen'lo's Company parted on mutually frosty terms.[1]
