Voltemand used to boast an orbital port, however it was one of the first targets of the Chaos attack.
==Battle for Voltis City==
The [[Tanith First and Only]], under covering fire from the [[Ketzok 17th Armoured Regiment]] was to advance to the city walls and create two breaches. Once these breaches had been formed, the code word 'Thunderhead' would be given to the men of the [[Royal Volpone 50th]], who would assault on mass.
Despite the commanding officer, General [[Noches Sturm]] of the Volpone's doubt as to the Ghost's ability, they were able to detonate an explosive at the secondary site, causing a breach of several hundred meters in the outer wall. All with minimal casualties also, despite losing around 40 men to the flood. Colonel [[Maglin]]'s force of seven thousand heavy infantry then stormed the breach, taking the city before day broke. By nightfall, Voltis City was cleansed and safely back in Imperial hands.
Once the initial fighting to get the Volpone into the city was complete, the Tanith pulled out, moving back to their base camp at Pavis Crossroads. General [[Noches Sturm]] ordered the [[Ketzok 17th Armoured]] to fire upon their position. This resulted in a further 300 dead and 200 wounded amongst the [[First and Only]].
