The battle of Muktar Ridge was part of the loyalist forces attempts to dislodge the traitor forces in the jungles of Dharrovar Secundus. Fighting between the advancing traitor forces and the retreating loyalists, occurred after the battle for the Rift Valley. Operations occurred over an extensive area north of the Rift Valley and west of the location deeper in the jungles.
Strong Rift Warden defences in those foothills had successfully held out against traitor forces for a week after the previous engagement. But then, those positions were captured after two days of fighting and a cavalry charge broke those lines. The Rift Wardens were forced to fall back as the attacking forces were bolstered by several tanks.
This tank regiment attacked the space marines along an extended front through the wooded foothills over four days. A Rift Warden counterattack as eventually blocked by more tanks arriving from the deeper jungles. The traitorous guardsmen were assisted by cavalry and dozens of small infantry squads. Junction Station was captured and without further supplies, the Rift Wardens fell back to regroup. As a result of this victory, the jungles were fully controlled by enemy forces.
