Badab War
===Badab War===
906-909.[[M41]]. The Howling Griffons, along with the [[Novamarines]] responded to calls for aid during the [[Badab War]].Having just finished a campaign in the [[Caradryad]] Sector, the Howling Griffon's task force was no more than 250 Space Marines and had insufficient planetary assault resources to aid in front line assaults. As a result, their initial engagements were to carry out garrison duties or convoy protection. Their largest deployment was to garrison the airless moons in the [[Khymara]] system, rebuilding old listening posts as staging areas for later in the war. Unfortunately this posting put them in the path of the [[Executioners]] who were coming to aid the Secessionists as part of their blood oath to Huron. The Griffons were annihilated; after the [[Executioners]] withdrawlwithdrawal, the casualty rate was more than 70%, including the catastrophic loss of their strike cruiser, Augeias, and Chaplain Dreadnought Titus. Despite these losses, the remaining force continued to fight wherever they could until officially relieved in 909.[[M41]]<sup>9</sup>
