Reya Rebellion

The Reya Rebellion was an Imperial campaign during the Halcyon Age undertaken by the Godslayers Legion. When Cumia was first brought into the Imperium, it was ruled over by the Reya Dynasty. Defeated, the son of the former Emperor was spared, but banished from the planetary capital. After the Emperor's disappearance, this disposed son has risen up, and reclaimed his throne, publicly broadcasting the execution of all Imperial Representatives, as well as anyone who helped overthrow the Dynasty.

Campaign
The Godslayers swiftly reacted to this, arriving above the planet to bring it back into compliance. With a peaceful resolution deemed impossible due to the bloody regime of the Reya Dynasty, the Godslayers attempted to land at Cumia’s Space Port. As the Godslayer forces landed, the space port collapsed as detonation charges were triggered by the rebel army. The Eleventh Kapitola under Veliteľ Vladimír Novák suffered the brunt of the casualties, losing almost 50% of his Kapitola.

Following these heavy initial losses, the Godslayers landed the rest of their troops and heavy armour in force, and crushed the enemy army that tried to stop them. Fire from Legio Astraman made short work of the walls of the Cumian imperial palace, and the fast attack elements streamed through to surround the palace. A heavy terminator and breacher assault into the Palace swiftly ended the official conflict, with scattered bands of fighters being rounded up in the days afterwards. An official Imperial governor was assigned by the Godslayers, chosen from the surviving Imperial loyalists on the world.

Not recognised at the time, this compliance would have far reaching consequences. Velitel’ Vladimír was severely affected by the losses to his Kapitola, becoming more harsh, and less merciful. This would mark his first step on the road to Chaos. [[Category:R]]
