# During Hadrian's Lifetime
# ISD 16129 - Battle of Wodan
In ISD 16129, assisted by The Whitehorse Company foederati group, the 437th and 438th Centaurine Legions—under the direction of [Duke Titus Hauptmann](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/sollan-empire-vBP/page/sir-titus-hauptmann)—in destroying one of the [Cielcin](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/cielcin) worldship fortresses at [Wodan](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/norma-arm/page/wodan).
> “Seized one of their worldships. What’s left of it, anyway. The demons scuttled it in orbit before their leader fled to warp.”
>
> ...
>
> Eager to get the focus off of me, I asked, “You captured Cielcin at Wodan?”
>
> “Only a couple hundred. Hauptmann gave them over to the LIO,” Kogan said with a conspiratorial tilt of his head, referring to the Legion Intelligence Office. He leaned further in. “I was just telling your boy here that before I left my company, Commandant Alexei—that’s my old boss—retained a pair of the prisoners for sport.”

# ISD 16130 - Battle of Cai Shen
With [Cai Shen](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/centaurus-arm/page/cai-shen), famed for its Bashang Temple, destroyed by the [Cielcin](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/cielcin) in ISD 16130, [House Marlowe](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/sollan-empire-vBP/chapter/house-marlowe-of-delos) became the largest licensed supplier of uranium in the sector.
Since Cai Shen is not in the Veil of Marinus, the attack was evidence that the Cielcin were getting more aggressive in their targeting of Sollan worlds.
> “I saw the attack footage myself; the Consortium broadcast the last news packets from Cai Shen along with their visit announcement via the wave. Your [father](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/sollan-empire-vBP/page/lord-aleister-diomedes-friedrich-marlowe) had [Alcuin](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/sollan-empire-vBP/page/tor-alcuin) and myself up all night reviewing with the logothetes. It was the Cielcin, no mistake.”
>
> *Empire of Silence* - Chapter 2: Like Distant Thunder - Quotes from [Tor Gibson](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/sollan-empire-vBP/page/tor-gibson)
> [Sir Friedrich Oberlin](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/sollan-empire-vBP/page/lord-friedrich-oberlin), the junior logothete who had intervened with [Breathnach](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/sollan-empire-vBP/page/sir-lorcan-breathnach) moments before, cleared his throat. “[Nemavand](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/centaurus-arm/page/nemavand) is crucial to the defense of the Centaurine border. Until [Hermonassa](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/during-hadrians-lifetime/page/isd-16511-battle-of-hermonassa), the Cielcin had not crossed the gulf in force for nearly four centuries, when they raided as far south as the Sagittarius.” He indicated a belt of systems far closer to Forum and the heart of the Empire. I remembered those raids. They had come when I was just a boy on [Delos](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/spur-of-orion/page/delos). One of those attacks had destroyed Cai Shen, a Consortium mining colony, and made my father far wealthier than he had already been. “Since then the bulk of their efforts have been concentrated in the Norman Expanse, we think because they have territory there.”
>
> *Demon in White* - Chapter 3: The Empire of the Clouds
> Hermonassa had not been the first core world attacked. There had been random raids carried out throughout the crusade. Cai Shen had been such a one, and I wonder now if that, too, had not been the work of [Syriani Dorayaica](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/cielcin-BHz/page/syriani-dorayaica). An early effort. Cai Shen had been a key uranium source for the Legions and Consortium alike. Had it been *targeted*? Had Dorayaica—or a Cielcin very like the *Shiomu*—found record of the planet in the navigational computer of some captured Imperial vessel?

# ISD 16227 - Battle Aboard the Demiurge
In ISD 16227, the Sollan Legion Intelligence Office suggested that ongoing negotiations between the [437th Centaurine Legion](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/sollan-empire-vBP/page/437th-centaurine-legion) and the Cielcin [Clan Otiolo](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/cielcin-BHz/chapter/clan-otiolo), mediated by the fabled [Kharn Sagara](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/legends/page/kharn-sagara), were destined to fail. As such, the Centaurine fleet, under the supervision of First Strategos [TITUS HAUPTMANN](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/sollan-empire-vBP/page/sir-titus-hauptmann), launched an assault to kill Kharn Sagara and seize control of the *[Demiurge](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/extrasolarian-starships/page/demiurge)*. The fleet sustained minimum damage in its attack against the Cielcin worldship *[Bahali imnal Akura](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/cielcin-starships/page/bahali-imnal-akura)*. Since the clan was defeated in battle, not much else is known about Clan Otiolo, as any primary documents were lost in the destruction of their worldship.

# ISD 16257 - Battle of Thagura
In their first official mission, the [Imperial Red Company](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/meidua-red-company) defeat the Cielcin Prince [Inumjazi Muzugara](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/cielcin-BHz/page/inumjazi-muzugara) at [Thagura](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/norma-arm/page/thagura). Before the Red Company's arrival in ISD 16257, the Cielcin had sieged and farmed the planet's major cities (Pseldona, Aramsa, Port Reach, and Tagur) for over ten years.
> The great worldship that housed the vast majority of the Cielcin presence at Thagura had been far out beyond the planet’s moons, where it could be assured of a stable orbit and not risk destabilizing those moons with its own near-planetary bulk. We had come in hard and fast, and burned the battleships and little raiding vessels that accosted the planet itself. By the time Ramsundar Glass and the other captains made for the alien moon, the vast worldship’s engines—great as empires—had blazed bright as suns.
>
> Briefly—too briefly—I had spoken with their prince, Inumjazi Muzugara, had ordered the chieftain to surrender. I had given it my name, told it that I had killed Otiolo, its kinsman… but it had fled. Muzugara took its whole world away at speeds faster than light, abandoning its dying fleet in the skies above Thagura.
>
> I did not know it then, but I had planted a seed in that moment. Inumjazi Muzugara would carry my name and the tale of my deeds back to its people, and as there were stories of me told then across the Empire, there would be stories told of me among the Cielcin ere long.
>
> *Queen Amid Ashes* - Chapter 1: The Sun is High...
> It felt strange to take credit for their freedom. I had not won the battle in orbit, though I had briefly confronted Muzugara over the holograph. That victory belonged to Otavia Corvo, to Bastien Durand and the other ship’s officers.

# ISD 16511 - Battle of Hermonassa
Rout of the Imperial defense of the Red Star Foundries shipyards at [Hermonassa](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/sagittarius-arm/page/hermonassa) from the Cielcin assault led by [SYRIANI DORAYAICA](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/cielcin-BHz/page/syriani-dorayaica). Until Hermonassa, the Cielcin had not crossed the gulf in force for nearly four centuries, when they raided as far south as the Sagittarius. Hermonassa was the first assault that showed Dorayaica was planning to attack military targets—strategic thinking not yet shown by any of the Cielcin princes.
During this battle, the *[ISV Inviolate](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/sollan-empire-starships/page/isv-inviolate)* was destroyed, and [CARAX OF ARAMIS](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/sollan-empire-vBP/page/carax-of-aramis) and his captain, VOHRA, survived to give [EMPEROR WILLIAM XXIII](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/sollan-empire-vBP/page/emperor-william-xxiii-of-the-house-avent) a message.
> But Carax was not finished. “He called himself a king,” he said, and turning broke the inviolable protocol of the throne room by looking up upon the face of the Emperor. “He said he was coming for your crown, Honorable Caesar.” On seeing His Radiance enthroned atop the mighty dais, the soldier’s voice broke, and he prostrated himself once again, lying almost flat against the tile. No longer the center of attention, I stood again, peering over the shoulders of the richly dressed personages before me. “Your Radiance, he let me live. Killed everyone else in my decade.”

Hadrian Marlowe and his Red Company defeated the Vayadan and its scahari warriors.

# ISD 16632 - Battle of Marinus
The Battle of Marinus marked a catastrophic defeat for the Sollan Empire in the Norman Expanse during the Cielcin Wars. The fall of [Marinus](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/norma-arm/page/marinus) (a key Legion logistics hub and trade nexus) led to the collapse of Imperial presence beyond the Veil, isolating the Freeholder colonies and paralyzing regional resupply and troop movement. This loss crippled Imperial logistics.
The battle itself is believed to have been led or coordinated by [SYRIANI DORAYAICA](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/cielcin-BHz/page/syriani-dorayaica) or one of his *[Iedyr Yemani](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/cielcin-BHz/chapter/iedyr-yemani)* (White Hand) generals, and resulted in the destruction of orbital troop stations, killing hundreds of thousands of soldiers in fugue. The attacking Cielcin flee did not linger to pillage the planet, instead immediately pursuing the surviving Imperial Fleet, suggesting Marinus was a tactical "smash and grab". The surviving command structure later convened at [Berenike](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/centaurus-arm/page/berenike), a trading/mining colony on the Centaurine border, where plans to retake Marinus were discussed, though not expected to launch until ISD 16710, nearly eight decades later.
The fall of Marinus follows other major Cielcin advances like [Cressgard](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/preceding-hadrians-lifetime/page/isd-15792-battle-of-cressgard) and [Hermonassa](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/during-hadrians-lifetime/page/isd-16511-battle-of-hermonassa), and is viewed as a pivotal turning point that doomed the Empire’s control in the sector, exposing both the scale and coordination of the Cielcin threat.

# ISD 16701 - Battle of Berenike
Following a crushing defeat at [Marinus](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/norma-arm/page/marinus), Imperial orders summoned the [Imperial Red Company](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/meidua-red-company/page/meidua-red-company), along with legions under the command of First Strategos [TITUS HAUPTMANN](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/sollan-empire-vBP/page/sir-titus-hauptmann), to [Berenike](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/centaurus-arm/page/berenike). Humanity is victorius in defense of the planet, and [HADRIAN MARLOWE](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/meidua-red-company/page/hadrian-anaxander-marlowe) demonstrates his abilities in combat against [SYRIANI DORAYAICA](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/cielcin-BHz/page/syriani-dorayaica) for all the galaxy to see. [VALKA ONDERRA](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/meidua-red-company/page/valka-onderra-vhad-edda) is injured in a wizards' duel against the Extrasolarian sorcercer, [URBAINE](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/minos/page/urbaine).
> “They’re ordering us to join the fleet at Berenike,” said [Bastien Durand](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/meidua-red-company/page/bastien-durand). In a rare twist, the fellow had removed his glasses. He looked young without them. “They’re planning an expedition to retake Marinus.”
>
> “They’ll be a while gathering their forces,” I said.
>
> “It’ll take the better part of a century to mass the fleet at Berenike,” [Corvo](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/meidua-red-company/page/otavia-corvo) agreed.
>
> “Seventy-eight years,” Durand said. “Oberlin says they mean to launch in ISD 16710.”
>
> “I read the dispatch,” I said. Berenike was on the road to Marinus, a colonial supply depot and Legion fortress world that had played Marinus’s role in Imperial conquest and expansion before Marinus had. All ships making for the freeholds and the inner rim followed that ancient road through [Gododdin](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/centaurus-arm/page/gododdin) and the Centaurine provinces, through Berenike, to the Veil and Marinus. It was following that road that had called the Cielcin down upon us centuries ago, for beyond Marinus lay [Cressgard](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/norma-arm/page/cressgard)—burned now to glass to erase the Cielcin and the holocaust they’d visited upon that once-green world. “Berenike,” I repeated. I had been through Berenike before—as I had Gododdin—but I had never set foot there. “How quickly can we get there?”
