First Raid on Koraulak

The First Raid on Koarulak was a minor engagement at some point before the destruction of the Great Fox II between the Mercenaries of said planet and the Chat forces that were searching for a weapons cache. The raid lasted 3 days before the mercenaries surrendered, although most of them were forced to join the victorious faction, resulting in a Chat victory.

First Hours
Forerunner deployed two teams of Chat Snipers and a batallion of Chat Troopers to fight their way through a hostile zone to reach a warehouse that was suspected of being a chop-shop for Chat military weapons and armor. The Snipers took up positions on the Port Lafayette watchtowers and fire the first shot against the Merc Captains, who spent the first few hours trying to organize their men. The surprise attack allowed the Troopers to rush in and capture several strongpoints, while an advance squad secured the warehouse.

The Siege on the Warehouse
The Mercenaries called for reinforcements and surrounded the warehouse, which was confirmed to be what was suspected, to force the Troopers into surrendering their arms. The Chat troopers refused and fought back, prolonging the siege for several days. The Mercs were surprised when their leadership started getting mysteriously cut off, until they received word that the infamous Chat Snipers were doing what they do best. Realizing that their numbers were decreasing, and would eventually result in a pyrrhic victory at best, the Mercs tried to pull out.

Massacre at Port LaFayette
The Mercenaries attempted to flee the station because a Chat Frigate had just jumped into system with reinforcements, but they were cut off from their ships when the Chat Troopers inside started to utilize the advanced weaponry against them. On the last day of the engagement, 70% of the Mercenary factions tried to lay down their arms and walk away, however the Chat refused to let them go for illegal weapons trafficking. When they tried to run, the Chat Snipers mowed down about a hundred mercs, and the remaining ones were incarcerated and shipped off to a prison.

Aftermath

 * Mercenary forces took significantly greater casualties
 * Several dozen merc groups were disbanded
 * Chat Forces gain control of the Port LaFayette Station
