In July [[3085]], the Third Company of the recently rebuilt [[Raventhir's Iron Hand]] were on Bass, gaining experience by garrisoning various border worlds within the Magistracy, when the planet was struck by a raiding party. Numbering at least two companies in strength, the raiders, believed to originate from [[Astrokaszy]], expected Bass to be unguarded and had arrived with the intent of capturing and enslaving a number of the locals. The Third Company violently disabused the raiders of this notion, slamming into the enemy landing zone and pushing them back. The raiders tried to fall back to their [[DropShips]], only to have the Iron Hand attack and disable the DropShips in turn. Choosing to surrender, the raiders were subsequently executed outside the rebuilt provincial academy in Magestrix Square.<ref name="FM:3085p137">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 137: "Magistracy Royal Guards Brigade"</ref>
