The '''Fourth Quadrant rebellion''' was a series of wars and rebellions that engulfed a quarter of [[Segmentum Solar]]. The exact dates are not known, but it definitely took place between 775.[[M41]] and 780.M41. The individual conflicts had no single cause, rather countless grievances fostered over centuries of brutality and misrule by corrupt Imperial commanders. Opportunistic [[Chaos]] [[Chaos Cult|cults]],, renegades and [[Xenos]] took advantage of the anarchy and over a dozen [[Space Marine]] [[Chapters]] were involved in the fighting.<sup>1-pp.57, 100</sup>
==History==
In the closing stages of the rebellion one of the last remaining rebel strongholds was situated in the [[Lycanthos System]], to the galactic south of the [[Maelstrom Zone]]. The [[Astral Claws]] [[Chapter Master]] [[Lugft Huron]] was elected battle leader of a force comprising Space Marines from his own Chapter, the [[Fire Hawks]], the [[White Scars]] and the [[Celestial Guard]], as well as [[Death Korps of Krieg|Krieg]] and [[Cal-Sec]] Imperial Guard and the [[Imperial Titans|Titans]] of [[Legio Venator]].<sup>1-pp.57, 59</sup>
Under Huron's leadership the system was purged in under a year. Huron himself lead led the assault on the 'widowmaker' bastion gate on [[Lycanthos Secundus]] - an almost indestructible fortress garrisoned by the [[Bleak Brotherhood]] [[Chaos Space Marines]].<sup>1-p.59</sup>
