The '''Orar Raid''' was a battle early in the [[Gothic War]] where two [[Slaughter Class Cruiser]]s launched a surprise attack on the [[Hive World]] [[Orar (planet)|Orar]].<sup>1</sup>
The planet was defended by the [[Mars Class Battlecruiser]] [[Imperious]], which scored a telling [[Nova Cannon]] hit on the [[Soulless]], then finished it off with a [[lance]] salvo. The second Slaughter class ship was crippled by [[Starhawk Bomber]]s from the ''Imperious'', then was destroyed by Orar's orbital defenses.<sup>1</sup>
In the aftermath of the battle, the ''Imperious'' was outfitted with a salvaged targeting matrix, and her [[Imperial_Navy_Captain#Captain|Captain]], [[Compel Bast]], received the [[Imperial_Battle_Honours|Solar Cluster]] for the actions of his ship and crew.<sup>1</sup>
