The '''Siege of Inwit''' was a ('''009.[[M31]] to ''' - '''013.[[M31]] ''') was a [[Horus Heresy]] campaign, that [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]]' [[Traitor]] forces waged against the [[Imperium]]'s [[Inwit Cluster]].{{Fn|1}} ==HistoryOverview==
It was undertaken by dozens of [[Traitor]] fleets, who each sought to claim the prize of the [[Imperial Fists]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]]'s [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|Homeworld]], [[Inwit]]. The Siege then steadily increased in intensity for four years, before [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]]' direct [[Siege of Terra|assault]] on [[Terra]] drew the Traitors away from the Inwit Cluster. In their wake, however, they left behind a string of burning and wasted worlds.{{Fn|1}}
After several years of fighting, the Traitors eventually fought their way to Inwit itself as the remaining loyalists sought to dug-in and make a final stand. After the invaders then laid siege to the world, the Imperial Fists lost dozens of warships in desperate attempts to break the blockade and seek reinforcements. While the Imperial Fists [[Frigate]] ''[[Astral Majesty]] '' was able to reach the [[Dark Angels]] forces, they soon found themselves requisitioned for [[Lion El'Jonson]]'s [[Passage of the Angels|Crusade of vengeance]] instead of relieving Inwit.{{Fn|2}} ==See also==*[[Battles of the Horus Heresy (List)]]
