| abstract | - The Battle of Half-Skull was an engagement waged between Clan Tabvis and Clan Marvod forces during the Tuchanka Wars. The battle would begin soon after the Marvod Raids when Chief Tabvis Manulan would send a war party to attack Marvod borders in retaliation for the raids, many of which affected Tabvis border camps. A fleet of over three-dozen mounted with MVAs would position themselves on mountainous ridges over-looking Marvod borders and bombard the territory with heavily-destructive radioactive shells. This went on for several hours before Marvod forces could accurately pin-point the artillery line's position. Tabvis artillery would retreat from the area, but several battalions of Bloodsharks and battle-ready Tomkahs would arrive to intercept Marvod squads attempting to neutralize artillery fire. Tabvis and Marvod forces would meet eachother at the basin of the ridge, an area known as Half-Skull Valley, and clash with extreme brutality. Krogan warriors on both sides made use of deadly weapons, most of which being explosive in nature. As the two infantry forces engaged eachother, Tabvis artillery stationed themselves at a safer position and continued their onslaught on Marvod. This would continue until Marvod reinforcements backed heavily by Galnock allies arrived and forced the Tabvis invaders to retreat. In the end, over 200 krogan died, most of which being within Marvod borders.
