He was part of the Guard's forces sent to fight the [[Ork]]s of [[Waaagh! Gratzdakka]], which had [[Kalidar War|invaded]] the [[Kalidar System]]. He was assigned to the 3rd Company of the [[42nd Paragon Tank Regiment]].{{Fn|1a}}
Initially [[Tank Commander|commanding]] the [[Leman Russ Battle Tank]] ''[[Indomitable Fury]]'', his tank was destroyed on [[Kalidar IV]] in battle with Ork forces on the [[Kostoval Flats]] but in the process held off the greenskin forces long enough for Guard forces to withdraw. For this bravery was promoted and made Third Gunner of the [[Baneblade]] ''[[Mars Triumphant]]''.{{Fn|1d}}{{Fn|1f}}
During the ensuing battles on Kalidar IV, ''Mars Triumphant'' was destroyed but only after taking a [[Gargant]] with it. For this, he was promoted and given command of a new Baneblade, ''[[Cortein's Honour]]''.{{Fn|1g}} ==Trivia=={{Trivia}}===Conflicting sources===*At the start of Chapter 6 of the novel ''[[Baneblade (Novel)|Baneblade]]'', Colaron was stated to be his father's eldest son.{{Fn|1c}} However, in Chapter 9 of the same story, it is stated that [[Lazlo Gratimar Lo Kalligen|Lazlo Kalligen]] was traded to [[Clan Bannick]] in exchange for [[Clan Kalligen]] receiving Colaron's older brother.{{Fn|1f}}It is possible that Colaron's brother was no longer counted as a relative after being given to Clan Kalligen, but this is speculation.
