The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was a conflict on the [[forgeworld]] [[Katara]], fought between the [[Imperium]] and [[Khornate]] forces.{{Fn|1}}

The conflict started by a sudden [[Khornate]] [[Chaos Cultist]] uprising in the capital [[hive city]] Creontiades. First discovered when the cultists attacked [[Ecclesiarchy]] [[Confessor]] [[Lehrn Ornastas]]. While Confessor Ornastas managed to repel the ambush and reported it to his superiors, his warnings were ignored. The cultists had been waiting for the planet's Imperial Guard Regiment/PDF, the Kataran 66th "Kataran Spears", to be deployed elsewhere. When the 66th was deployed to repel a [[tyranid]] invasion of the planet [[Khania]], they launched their uprising.{{Fn|1}}

The victory was a pyrrhic one. The vast majority of the Titans sent to the system by the Pallidus Mor and Imperial Hunters were destroyed, two of the planet's three Hive cities were destroyed (Creontiades was leveled to the ground upon the arrival of Imperial Guard reinforcements), the forgeworld was reclassified as a [[Penal World]] (on the verge of being chosen for [[Exterminatus]]), and the planet's surviving loyalist population was interred and formed into a Penal Legion. The surviving members of the Titan legions, and the Titans they could salvage, prepared to return to their ships to leave the planet.{{Fn|1b}}
