Battle of Tahu (Cruentusian War)

"Men, this is when we repay those DTM cowards for daring to raise their arms against us. We'll drive them out of whatever hole they're hiding in and crush them. Now, let's get funky."

- Janos Snake

The  was a fairly large battle of the Cruentusian War. It occurred when the Death's Tongue Militia, having recently attacked the Necasian Military and Srav Federation and spread terror amongst their civilian populations as a result, decided to try and 'take some of the heat off [its] back' by tricking both other factions into attacking a decoy base on Tahu which they would disguise as a major base. The DTM placed minimal forces on the planet, and instead goaded the local population into fighting for them, and laid many traps for the Necasians and Sravs. Arriving at the planet, the Sravs and Necasians came under heavy fire from DTM militants, rioting natives, and biological weapons laid by said militants, and for the duration of the battle went into an unofficial ceasefire, staying out of the other's way. Eventually, both sides tracked the DTM decoy base in the desert not far from the planet's main city and destroyed it. Both sides felt that they had dealt a heavy blow to the DTM, whereas in reality they had only caused it moderate damage, and unwittingly caused its support to grow due to their treatment of the native populance.
