The Wars of Reaving

The Star Adders made a combat drop on top of the Burrock defenders. The Eighteenth Warren Cluster attempted to ambush the Eighty-fifth Adder Cavaliers close to a large copper quarry, but were themselves caught as the Cavaliers pinned the Burrocks in place as a Binary of aerospace fighters from the Tenth Armored Cavalry bombed their exposed positions along the roadway leading to the quarry; the Eighteenth died to a warrior. The Adders were later forced to retreat from the planet when the Burrocks threatened to destroy their grounded DropShips.[2]
