===The Siege of Varkhat===
The "Siege of Varkhat" is one name used to describe a series of conflicts from M41.914-931 in the Varkhat sysyem. Formally known as the Varkhese Wars, Siege can be split into 3 main stages of the war: Contact with the Dark Eldar, the Chaos uprising, and the Ork invasion. It can be simplified as follows: In M41.914 the head of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus|Mechanicus]] of Varkhat requested a Skitarii expeditionary force to scout the mountainous terrain after scans of the planet showed potential for a hidden piece of Archeotech. Transmissions from the team reported a blueprint for an STC capable of mass producing warmachines at a fraction of the cost and speed of conventional manufactorums. Such a transmission was intercepted however by the [[Dark Eldar|Dark Eldar]]. The ensuing clashes for aqussition of the template helped lure ravaging [[Ork|Ork]] and [[Chaos|Chaos]] warbands towards the planet: causing a total free for all.
The Imperial forces were successful at driving off the invaders under the leadership of the Colonel-Commissar Al-Campbell. However, the carnage lead to the loss of the blueprint and a huge area of uninhabbitable "Scar" on the northern hemisphere of the planet.
