Battle of Riesen III (Cruentusian War)

"Let autocannon and bayonet maul them! Let fury from orbit devastate them! For against firepower backed with a warrior's spirit, there is no defence!"

- A Taung commander

The Battle of Riesen III was a small battle of the Cruentusian War. It occured during a Taung Confederacy campaign against the Sinyan Imperium, during the stage when the Taungs were striking across the Sinya system. The moon of Riesen III, orbiting the gas giant Riesen, was attacked by the Taungs, who overwhelmed the defences there and occupied the moon.
