Battle of Demos (Cruentusian War)

The Battle of Demos was a minor battle of the Cruentusian War, and was the battle that brought the Taung Confederacy into the war. The battle started when a Srav Federation Flotilla, scouring the unknown regions of the galaxy, stumbled upon the planet of Demos. The Srav quickly landed and began to explore the planet. Unfortunately for them, the planet was not inhabited and they were not alone. The Sravs came under attack from Taung units on the planet surface, and the sizeable Taung Armada above.

Hard Contact
As the Sravs began to explore the surface of Demos, they were attacked and ambushed by the Taung, nomadic warriors who had built a sizeable empire in the Japrael Sector. On the third day after the Srav had landed on the surface, the hosts of the Taung gathered, preparing to destroy the Sravs. The Taung Hunters, commanded by Mandalore the Uniter himself, held the left flank beside the Illonian River to the east of the Srav. To the north, the Taung Auxillaries under Oman Storm held the center from the fortress of Kira. To the west the Taung Crusaders under Codred Tain and Basil Mallorea, held the right flank, encircling the Srav positions all the way to the western banks of the Illonian River.

On the morning of the third day, the Taung Battle Horns were heard by the Sravs, and came from the north of them. And another Battle Horn answered it from the hills to the east. Doubt began to grip the hearts of the Srav, and the Zhell, who had thrown their lot in with the Sravs, hid in terror.

Srav scouts were dispatched from their northern positions. They did not return, and no sign of them could be found in the dark forests. A combined division of Srav forces and Zhell were dispatched after that from their eastern positions. They did not return either, and no sign could be found of them either.
