==History==Indrid was the last of the objectives of [[Operation Redrake]], the initial phase of the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]], launched in 755.[[M41]]. The task of capturing it was given to [[Lord Militant]] [[Cybon]], whose assault faltered as the Chaos forces, finally alerted by the near-simultaneous assaults on [[Formal Prime]], [[Onscard]], and [[Long Halent]], rapidly brought in reinforcements from the nearby worlds of [[Melsar]] and [[Taliscant]]. Cybon, caught fighting on two fronts, justified Slaydo's confidence in him, executing a feigned withdrawal that drew the Archenemy forces into the range of his artillery batteries at [[Colquis]]. Despite this, however, the campaign dragged on into 756.M41, until Cybon ended the stalemate with [[orbital bombardment]].{{Fn|1}} This would not be the first time Cybon was willing to bombard his own troops to achieve victory, and one of his subordinate commanders, [[Marshal (Imperial Guard)|Marshal]] [[Blackwood]] protested so vehemently that (it was rumored) it was for this reason that Blackwood was later transferred to [[Ashek II]].{{Fn|1}}.
The fall of Indrid marked the completion of Operation Redrake, but also signaled the start of the difficult second phase of the Crusade, as [[Archon (Chaos)|Archon]] [[Nadzybar]] assembled his opposition forces in earnest at Ashek II, [[Melsar]], [[Taliscant]], [[Gotthrone]], [[Lucius (Sabbat Worlds)|Lucius]], [[Hesketh]], [[Cociaminus]], [[Fornax Aleph]], and [[Ambold Eleven]].{{Fn|1}}
