Cardassian Incident

The Cardassian Incident, or the Nitroean Insurrection, was a conflict fought between the Imperium of Andarra and the United Rebel Front over control of the Cardassian Sector.

History
Fighting erupted after the Emperor of the Imperium, Karl Franz, was almost killed in an explosion on Cardassia on 5.2.804.M21. The council told the Imperium that they were not involved in the assassination attempt, but it was discovered that some of the members of the Cardassian Order—including Grandmaester Anakin—had been collaborating with General Nitro and his insurrection. The Inquisition responded by executing Anakin and his accomplices in front of the entire order. The Nitroeans seized the chaos that was created and struck back against the Imperial forces on the station.

A massive firefight ensued, resulting in the death of many of the order's members. The Inquisition abducted many of the psykers into their blackships while the spartans of the Iron Lords legion slew the rebels with ease. However, the combined Imperial forces were no match against the powerful pyskers of the order and were summarily forced to retreat from the station. Fortunately, the Emperor was able to be evacuated shortly before fighting erupted.

Meanwhile, the Nitroeans were able to drive out the Imperial forces from Requiem
