The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was a conflict between the [[Imperium]] and [[Chaos]] forces on [[Kerrack]] in late [[M41]]. The war's main phase took place in 932.[[M41]],{{Fn|1a}} though lower-level fighting continued for decades afterward.{{Fn|1b}}
By the 920s.M41,{{Fn|1b}} the primitive harvester clans of the [[Agri-World]] of [[Kerrack]] had launched an uprising against their Imperial overseers, plunging the world into anarchy and war.{{Fn|1a}} The rebels looted Imperial militariy depots, and grew increasingly powerful.{{Fn|1b}}
Eventually, it became clear that the rebellion was driven by [[Charnel Cult]]s.{{Fn|1b}} These had been organized organised by Warlord [[Mahaur|Mahaur the Harvester]] and his [[Khorne]]-worshiping [[Slaughterkin]]. The ensuing war was fought on foot beneath the dense canopy and air-to-air in the skies above. Large numbers of the native [[PDF]] militia turned traitor and began to worship the [[Chaos God]]s. Victory for the Imperium was only achieved when the [[Star Phantoms]] arrived in 932.M41 and launched an immediate and devastating attack against the rebel stronghold of Calder's Ark, slaying the Mahaur the Harvester and driving the Slaughterkin from Kerrack.{{Fn|1a}}
However, the war did not fully end when the Slaughterkin and Star Phantoms departed the planet. Many Charnel Cultists successfully fled into Kerrack's massive forests. From there, they continued a long-lasting insurgency. By the 990s.M41, the insurgents still possessed functioning war machines such as [[Sentinel]]s and organized organised bloody raids on Imperial outposts.{{Fn|1b}}
