History

Operation Revival

Wave Five

The Steel Vipers won the right to re-take Twycross during the Fifth Wave of Operation Revival.[1]

The actual attack was undertaken by the 423rd Assault, 428th Assault and Ninety-Fourth Battle Clusters. Landing under the cover of the Diabolis sandstorms, the 423rd and 428th defeated the Tenth Lyran Guards RCT by using the Viper's Maw tactic, while the Ninety-fourth engaged the Ninth Federated Commonwealth RCT and forced them back to the spaceport.[2][1]

The battle was over in a matter of hours.
