Halting of Vramon Muster
The Halting of Vramon Muster was a sabotage operation carried out by the Raven Guard in 013.M31 during the Horus Heresy.[1]
History
Ranging ahead of the main body of the crusading Loyalist fleet that was bringing ruin across the sectors of the galactic south, a Raven Guard strike force descended upon the Vramon system. Their scouting forays indicated that, unbeknownst to the wider Imperium, the governing castes had sworn allegiance to Horus and were late in the process of raising a substantial militia, with vast conscript regiments drawn up from the populations of entire continents. With the sprawling hive manufactorums of Vramon III turned over to the production of munitions and arms and its star ports harbouring scores of void haulers at anchor as they are loaded with supplies, the Vramon muster was poised to depart the system and join the Warmaster’s campaign.[1]
Lacking the numbers to engage directly and fearing that even a deft elimination of key leaders may not break the resolve of this Traitor force, the XIXth Legion rapidly deployed using shadow and subterfuge to infiltrate the primary docking spires at key positions. By conducting a series of coordinated strikes to disable the largest of the void craft, the Raven Guard force was able to severely limit the newly gathered force’s capacity to mobilise, effectively stranding the sizable army within their own system with no option but to await the coming of the Lion’s wrath.[1]
