The Imperial citizens of Terra rose up against the occupation by Mondsteinberg, but the uprising was quashed and their fortress razed.
Background
After the Siege of Terra, the Imperium's capital had come under occupation by Mondsteinberg. A day later, a group of Imperial resistance-fighters launched a large-scale insurrection against the occupation.
The Battle
Both sides were more numerous than in the siege the day before, and better prepared. The army of Mondsteinberg had set up TNT cannons outside of Terra, and bombarded the fortress throughout the battle. The Imperial forces were poorly equipped, and quickly driven out of the citadel, though insurgents kept harassing the attackers inside even naked. Outside of the walls, the Imperials were unable to capitalise on momentary tactical advantages, their weapons proving insufficient to penetrate the attackers' armour.
Rebel resistance within Terra was eventually crushed, and the fighting moved to the surrounding forests and the eastern wetlands, where Imperial guerillas engaged with Mondsteinberger soldiers in a prolonged engagement, but were ultimately defeated.
