Shaper Proj Nar Gel'Bryn to Shas'O Dalyth Lorossa,
Greetings and fine feasting to your excellence.
My Kindred have guarded your fine artillery machines with great and delicious vigor along the MagLev corridor between Gel'Bryn and North Central Hub. We have repelled Gue'la incursion in woodlands eastwards and westwards, with Kindred losses of nine in two score, and much new material with which to fortify the Kindred for your great good. We preserve Gue'la materials for your use and study, in honor of our agreement, and your Kor'vesa protector is ready for return in good working order. It is most vigorous, but its control unit is most uncomfortable and interferes with hearing and balance.
The armor of these Gue'la is different from that which you told me to seek, and my Kindred are backtracking now to determine if they also have brought more fighting kin along the corridor. We will bring you sure and trustworthy word of their location, that you may commence hunting. There we hope to take our rightful part, and your fine machines will be ready to give their loud warcall as well.
My Kindred thank and bless you for your benefitting our development, and for this latest addition to our genetic treasures most especially*. My rifle is ready to heed your call.
Shaper Proj Nar Gel'Bryn
Kroot Kindred, "We Who Are Led."
*Literally, "with loud and joyous belchings"

Transmission: Astramalleus Command
From: Norran Victos, Commander 4th Company Occupation Detachment
To: Leviah Milham, Commander Dalyth Expeditionary Force
To: Leviah Milham, Commander Dalyth Expeditionary Force
[[REPORT FOLLOWS]]
I am glad to report that my first command has resulted in victory. The Drop Pod deployment went smoothly and all units involved landed more or less without incident. 10th Assault landed pincered between two enemy tanks and was incapacitated to the man. 2nd Tactical and 3rd/1st Terminator Team also took heavy casualties but few of the wounds inflicted upon any of the three squads will have long term consequences. They should all be fit for the next mission.
After landing in and around the transportation hub, we were set upon by several armored speeder tanks. Chaplain Reemes, leading the remaining active members of 10th Assault, bravely assaulted one of them and managed to keep it occupied and ineffective most of the engagement. A unit of battle suits soon joined the fray but they were driven off by the arrival of 3rd/1st Terminator under my personal command. 4th and 6th Tactical arrived soon after to occupy the hub and to provide support for Reemes bold maneuver. Our forces held and cleared enough landing ground to other forces to land and mop up.
I recommend commendation for Chaplain Reemes. His aggressive actions prevented the enemy from using their armor to greatest advantage, making our victory more certain.
I have also been investigating the transportation hub. Quite a bit of enemy cargo was captured and an inventory has been appended to this report. Something seems odd about it. There's far too much cargo here for a small planetary outpost. Also there was quite a bit of armor fielded against us. Armor, especially Speeder Armor, requires quite a bit of upkeep which, along with the cargo captured, makes me think that perhaps this outpost is larger than we previously expected. It is possible that luck was with us and this was a major hub defended as heavily as was possible by the garrison force but that is not an assumption I'm willing to make at this time.
We await our next mission. I recommend pushing along the transport lines and disrupting their flow of materiel. If they have any strength, they will soon counter attack here. They have begun bombarding our positions so I expect counter attack within the next 48 to 72 hours. It would be better to slow them down before they get here and buy time for reinforcements to arrive. I look forward to your arrival and thank you again for this opportunity to show my command abilities.
Hail to the Emperor and the Grand Satrap,
Norran Victos
In Command

Chaos Ascendant (Battle Report 1)
Finally we make planet fall! Our time in the Warp was well spent, as Lucius lowered the Gellar field and allowed all on board to experience the glory of the Immaterium. Those who would not see the truth were sacrificed to the fell powers, and favor was heaped upon us by the dark Gods.
It took little time for the worshipers of the False Emperor to discover us in their midst and they dispatched a force to eliminate us before we could spread the True Word any further.
What follows is a report of this first struggle to bring freedom to all on Dayleth.

FAST ATTACK
10 Raptor (2 Meltaguns, Paired Lightning Claws, Icon of Slaanesh)
HEAVY SUPPORT
Defiler (Reaper AC, Extra CCW)
Vindicator (Daemonic Possession)
TURN 1
Marine:
The Marines decided that it was best to stand their ground and fire on the approaching forces of Chaos.
Marines started the turn with a full strike from the Predator into the side armor of the Vindicator. Luck was with the Vindicator and it suffered a single 'Crew Stunned' result which was ignored due to Daemonic Possession. The Librarian unleashed his 'Fury' power but failed to wound or pin any chaos units. All other units were out of LOS from the enemy and thus held their ground.
Chaos:
Chaos movement was a flurry of activity as the entire force advanced. The Khorne Rhino and Defiler moved forward toward the Devastator squad. The Vindicator moved up the center hoping to put the tower between itself and the Predator. The Plague Marine Rhino also moved up the right flank. All Rhinos popped smoke. The Daemon Prince and the Raptor squad flew over a small forest and began moving toward the Imperial left flank.
The Defiler fired a Battle Cannon round at the Devastator squad and managed to kill 3 of them in the blast. One of the Raptors managed a long range melta blast at the Predator, but failed to have any affect. All other units were out of range.
TURN 2
Marine:
Again, the Marines enjoyed good positioning in cover and opted to stand and shoot.
The Devastator squad unleashed a full volley of Lascannon fire into the Defiler, reducing it to component parts. Two Tactical squads used their Missile Launchers against the Vindicator but only managed to shake it - again ignored due to Daemonic Possession. The Predator combined fire with the Terminator squad to slay the Daemon Prince at range. With a howl of rage it dissipated back to into the warp. Tactical squad Gamma fired at the fast approaching Raptors and slew 5 of them. Though greatly reduced, the Raptors refused to fall back.
Chaos:
The Khorne Rhino now moved another 12" toward the Devastators and unloaded a Berserker Squad led by none other than Lucius. The Nurgle Rhino moved forward and unloaded 7 Plague Marines. The Vindicator was now in a position where the Predator could not see it, so it prepared to fire. The Raptor squad leapt forward to the edge of the Marine lines and made ready to charge.
Pistol fire from the Khorne troops killed one marine in the Devastator squad. The Doom Siren of Lucius killed another. A huge cannon shot from the Vindicator managed to kill 2 members of Tac Squad Beta. The Plague Marines fired plasma and melta at the Predator stunning it for the turn.
The Raptors then charged into cover to attack Tac Squad Gamma and killed 4 of them, loosing one of their own in the melee.
TURN 3
Marine:
The Marine Terminators moved around cover to gain full fields of fire into the Chaos forces. All other units held their ground.
The Devastator squad had limited Line of Sight to the Berserkers but knew that they must kill them before being charged. They fired into the Khorne Berserkers, killing 2 of them. Tac squad Beta fired its missile at the Vindicator again, but to no affect. Tac squad Alpha fired a long range volley at the Berserkers and killed 1. The Terminator squad fired fully into the Plague marines scoring many hits (including 4 rends) from Assault Cannons, but the blessing of Nurgle was on them and only 3 perished under the onslaught. The Librarian once again unleashed Fury of the Ancients against the Plague Marines but they would not be cowed.
Fighting between the Raptors and Squad Gamma continued, with only the brave Marine Sergeant surviving the Slaanesh-blessed blades of the Raptors.
Chaos:
Lucius Separated from his squad to flank the Devastator squad as the Berserkers charged forward into the fray. The Khorne Rhino moved to block LOS from Tac Squad Alpha and give the butchers some privacy. The Plague Marines marched forward toward the Terminators and Predator. The Nurgle Rhino moved in front of the Predator, hoping to block its view of enemy units.
Lucius began the firing phase by unleashing another Doom Siren, killing one more Devastator. The Khorne Berserkers held their fire. The Vindicator again fired on Squad Beta and killed two more of them. The Plague Marines fired on the Terminators with plasma, melta and bolters - killing 2 of the giants, wounding the Librarian and forcing them to fall back.
The Raptors finished off the lone Sergeant and moved into deep cover. Lucius and the Berserkers charged into the Devastators and wiped them out in furious fighting - loosing one more Berserker in the process. They then consolidated behind cover to avoid fire from Tac Squad Alpha.
TURN 4
Marine:
All forces stood to fight.
The Predator fired a full salvo of Lascannons at the Rhino at point blank range, managing only to stun it. The terminators attempted some long range fire at the Plague Marines but to little affect. Tac Squads Alpha and Beta fired missile launchers at the Vindicator again, failing to do damage. All in all a rough shooting phase for the Marines.
Chaos:
The Raptors move behind the Predator in an attempt to exploit the weak rear armor. The Plague Marines again march forward toward the Terminators in order to bring their guns to bear. Lucius rejoins the Berserkers and they wait to see if they are needed. The Khorne Rhino moves again to place itself between Tac Squad Alpha and the Vindicator, hoping that it can help spare the valuable asset.
The Vindicator fires another volley at Tac Squad Beta, killing another two marines. The Raptors fire meltas at the rear of the Predator, knocking out its turret Lascannon. The Plague Marines fire again at the Terminators with Plasma and bolters, killing another Terminator and the Librarian himself! The hail of fire proves too much for them as they fall back off of the field of battle.
The Raptors then assault the Predator with a meltabomb but only manage to stun the vehicle.
TURN 5
Marine:
The Predator takes a risk and drives out of the cover and away from the Raptors. All other units hold their ground as they recover from the loss of their leader.
Tac Squad Alpha fires missiles and plasma at the Khorne Rhino, destroying it. Squad Beta again fires on the Vindicator, but the vehicle seems impenetrable.
Chaos:
The raptors take to the air, again gaining position behind the Predator. The Plague Marines load up into the Nurgle Rhino and begin to move toward Tac Squad Beta.
The Raptors fire meltas again at the Predator, again only stunning the crew despite the weak rear armor. The Vindicator fails to hit Squad Beta with its cannon.
Then the Raptors charge the Predator and finally manage to destroy it with close combat weapons.
TURN 6
Marine:
Squads Alpha and Beta hold their ground, swearing to sell their lives well.
Squads Alpha and Beta fire missiles at the Vindicator once again, but it again survives.
Chaos:
The Plague Marines unload from the Rhino and move up to fire upon Squad Beta. The Rhino then attempts to Tank Shock the unit out of its cover. The brave missile trooper holds his ground and immobilizes the Rhino mere inches from his feet. The raptor squad moves toward Squad Beta but is too far to do any harm. The Khorne Berserkers with Lucius move out of cover and toward Squad Alpha - hoping for a successful charge.
Withering fire from the Plague Marines reduces Squad Beta to two troopers - both special weapons marines. Fire from the Berserkers and Lucius manage to kill 2 members of Squad Alpha. The Vindicator holds its fire for fear of damaging its own troops.
No chaos units are able to make the charge distance to the Marines and so the battle is ended.

Reporting: MagLev 1 has fallen.
Transmission, Shas'O Dalyth Lorossa to Aun'El Dalyth Rakithia.
Esteemed Aun'El,
I must report that MagLev Hub 1 has fallen to Gue'la control. In accordance with your instructions, I have dispatched most of my forces along the length of the Hub-Gel'bryn corridor, and arranged for continuous bombardment of the Gue'la vehicles and troops. Consequently, the station itself was guarded by the Pathfinder La'Rua Choosers of the Slain and my own Crisis Team. The Choosers were supported by Hammerhead None Shall Oppose, and the area mined and seeded with personal transponders.
Gue'La landing pods of the Marine unit designated "Star Hammers" assaulted the area in force, along with jump-equipped close assault troops and a unit of Finisher Teleportation troops. We were able to slow the advance of many of these, but in so doing, have lost control of our central task, the security of the station itself and thus the rapid transportation of troops and materiel throughout this corridor.
We are evacuating the Choosers for medical attention, together with my two Crisis Shas'vre. We request refit and repair of weaponry for None Shall Oppose, and recommend her Kor'ui pilot for commendation. My own injuries are inconsequential, treated in the field. My scars I shall bear in penance for having failed you in my mission.
I am proceeding south ahead of the Gue'la advance, to rejoin the remainder of our Kau'ui and commence attrition of Gue'la forces. I have also to report from conferral with evacuation Kor'ui that infighting may have broken out among factions of the invaders themselves. Without any Greater Good to guide them in a single vision, how can they not fall into conflict and chaos?
I await further instruction, and accept the penalties you deem appropriate for my failure.

Lady Mary's Report
Transmission begins:
While visiting the shrine of a fallen hero, Saint Marcus, we were attacked by the xeno's known as Orks. Their vicious green hordes overtook us without warning! Their numbers were so large and the intrusion was so sudden that our abilities did not manifest. Obviously they had some great deamon Psyker with them as it impeded my ability to fight "fire with fire".
Our fellow sisters fought bravely! Even the men did their job well. Those who were repenting their spotted souls redeemed themselves as they fought off those nasty little grots and helped to defend the shrine.
Two priestess to keep an eye on, Julia and Petricia, ran from battle, but then the Emperor's courage filled them and they turned to fight till their deaths. They might need some time in "The Engine" to think about their cowardice. The former Sister Eve did her job well. She did not get her fires off before being overcome by stronger xenos.
After the carnage the xenos then proceeded to "loot" all the bodies and tanks of their weapons and other items. This kept them from desecrating the shrine as they could not see the importance of such a place, such is the proof that they have no soul and therefore should be destroyed.
Then the reinforcements arrived and they scattered. Thank the Emperor.
We have heard reports that some dreaded Chaos creatures are in the area. We shall send a team out to investigate as soon as we regroup.

The Power of Chaos Compels You!
From the depths of the Eye of Terror boil forth the legions of Chaos. We too heed the clarion call to arms. Let the warrior who's skill in battle is unmatched call himself master. All others are chattle for the Warp. I accept any challenge that is offered in good faith. Let our unity be rooted in mutual love of the ring of steel on steel. May the blood of heroes and cowards alike soak the soil of countless worlds. In the name of...

Tau Empire, transmission begins.
Having received invitation from our treaty allies the Imperium of Man, we the Ethereal Council of Dalyth Prime join in welcoming you to CXI, the Adeptus Astragalactica. We hope that you will see the wisdom of being guided by our vision, creating the Greater Good for all races.
Some of you already know our benevolence, and we welcome you back again. Others of you are newly learning of it, and we ask you to consider well what you see here. In order that you should appreciate the value of cooperation with our vision, we will prepare for you a transmission of the significant events that led to the formation of our treaty with the Imperium of Man, and acquainting you with the noteworthy terms of that treaty.
(a side-note: the second "a" in "Astragalactica" is not a misspelling. The neologism was intentionally formed from the Greek words "astragale," meaning dice, and "galaxia," the Milky Way.)
