'''Crask''' is a [[Lord Castellan (Imperial Guard)|Castellan]] of the [[Cadian]] XVIII{{Fn|1}} who was dispatched as part of an [[Imperial]] fleet to fight in the [[Damocles Crusade]].
When his fleet emerged from the [[Warp]] they immediately besieged the [[Tau]] [[Sept]] of [[Kel'shan]] but hadn't realised that one hundred and fifty years had passed and the Damocles Crusade had already come to an end. Shortly after [[Hive Fleet Gorgon]] descended upon Kel'shan and, faced with a common enemy, Crask and [[Kor'o]] [[Valroth]] agreed to a truce. Together their fleets turned on the hive fleet destroying nearly all of its [[Bio-ship]]s. Gorgon, unique for its ability to rapidly evolve its bioforms, was unable to adapt quickly enough to the disparate nature of the [[Tau]] and [[Imperial Guard]] forces combined and, at the [[Battle of Worldspine Ridge]], the forces of Gorgon were finally defeated. Valroth's truce with the Imperium also ended shortly after.{{Fn|1}} The Imperial forces, too depleted to continue their mission against the Tau, were allowed to withdraw from Tau Space and were given honours for their assistance.{{Fn|2}}
