==History==Occurring in 998 .[[M41]]<sup>{{Fn|1a</sup> - }}, precipitated by [[The Denab Incident]]<sup>{{Fn|1b</sup> - }}, the '''Taros Campaign''' pitched [[Imperium|Imperial Forces]] forces against the Taros [[Planetary Defence Forces]] (PDF), the [[Tau]], and their [[Kroot]] mercenary allies in a series of battles over the planet [[Taros/]], known as [[T'ros]]to the Tau.  == History ==Prior to the campaign, Planetary Governor [[Aulis]], head of the Taros government, developed friendly trading relations with the Tau, and sought to defect to the [[Tau Empire]] with the support of much of the planetary population.<sup>{{Fn|1c</sup> }}  When his treachery was unveiled, the [[Avenging Sons]] [[Space Marine]]s were called upon to assassinate Governor Aulis in what was to be the [[First Taros Intervention]]. The [[Avenging Sons]] were unable to carry out the assignment after suffering tremendous losses including one [[Space Marine Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] at the hands of the Tau forces already assigned to protect the capital [[Tarokeen]] and the governor.<sup>{{Fn|1d</sup> }}  Following the assassination attempt the [[Tau]] officially annexed Taros while the Imperium gathered the [[4621st Imperial Army]] to reclaim the planet.<sup>{{Fn|1e</sup> }}  A large scale invasion followed , including fleet actions within the [[Taros System]]<sup>{{Fn|1f</sup> }}, however in the end Imperial forces were forced to retreat after suffering heavy losses including more than five complete [[Imperial GuardRegiment]] [[Regiment|regimentss']] worth of troops, one [[Titan#Warhound_Scout_Titan|Warhound Titan]] and several [[Imperial Navy|fleet vessels]]vessels.<sup>{{Fn|1g</sup>}} ==Imperial Order of Battle==The Imperial Order of Battle consisted of{{Fn|1h}}:
