Chaos at Kevin's

01 04

Anxious to save the Adepta Sororitas under my wing, I sent a relief force led my junior inquisitor Agatha who has under her command a member of Order Hosptallier, apart from more Battle Sisters, a Vindicare operative from the Temple as well as a regiment of storm troopers were involved. The battle grp rendevous with the surviviors from the vanguard and some sisters were restored to full battle readiness. The group then make way to a shrine 25 miles from the previous rendevous point to establish a small outpost for future operations.

then disaster struck. it seems that the foul eldar are not the only enemy presence on the planet. the order of the Southern Cross barely reach the shrine only to face a full chaos army(Vondire is exaggerating here...although its true the chaos outnumber the Witch Hunters) consisting mostly of daemons and abominations rather than men. once again the Sisters were wiped out to the last woman. Agatha and her retinue were ripped apart by daemons. the storm troopers were killed and chrimera crew disabled. I am very sorry for the parents of these fine young men. The vindicare operative survive though the only non-sororitas survivor. The last sister standing for Katherine herself. She alone held out the enemy for a few hours, together with the Assassin, they manage to escape bringing as many survivors with them as possible. so once again the troops under my wing were fleeing from the enemy. however my fleet was in orbit and I can observe wad hapen to the shrine after the departre of my troops.

Katherine's escape was possible because a force ofthe foul Tau (the targeted enemy in this campaign) were approaching the area and the Chaos worshippers rush to confront them. Apparently the shrine had already been corrupted and even more daemons rush from the Warp and overwhelmed the tau force. Defeated, the tau flee into the northwest direction. strangely the chaos never pursue but left. haha that will put a dent into their plans for invasion.

I was constantly keeping track of Katherine's forces at this time and I concluded that they can still be battle ready despite the recent setbacks. I sent in some reinforcements(a risky operation I must say as flying a hawkship in enemy occupied zone is equivalent to signalling my arrival) and Katherine led the survivors to launch a surprise raid on the tau force. It happen that the tau were encamped in a former Sororitas base that we were unaware of. There were fortifications, an airstrip and both medical supplies and ammunition. I cannot really say if the raid is successful as half of the tau force mange to escape. Katherine was knocked unconcious fortunately the mantle of ophelia save her. I must recommend sister Yi for her bravery in this battle. Her squad broke a vespid squad(w the help of retriutors), and cut down 2 fire warrior squads despite the fact tha all 3 units were within fortifications! Sister Sophia also did well in keepng her forces intact despite under so much fire. the same goes to Adeline who did an impressive support role. We manage to get a 1:1 kill ratio this time(roughly), which is quite good. one note is that the tau are begining to use robotic drones intensively, despite not being flexible, these drones carry powerful guns and can be a grave threat if used in large numbers since it negates tau's weakness of having a small population.

You may think it has ended here. but no. As i made plans to retrieve my troops from the planet. I realise that the first shrine had become a portal for chaos...A brand new army of Khorne appeared. then to my surprise, the Necrontyr also appeared. although that struggle was not my business, i looked on and saw that the forces of Chaos were once again victorious. It seems that this is the beginning of a new invasion. By then, the eldar(who cause all these disasters) returned to face this chaos threat. but they too were destroyed by the daemons that fought my troops.

The situation is very dire here, I request help from Ordos Diablolus(Daemon hunters). as there are many sororitas shrines present, my troops have request to remain in this sector to fight once reinforcements arrive. I myself will return to terra and ferry the dead back. I will be back to this warzone soon though. It seems that the tau threat was replaced by a chaos threat. the planet is crawling with chaos troops now and there has been some infighting between aries from different powers. I have also noticed that the tau, eldar and necrons are still active in the area too. but their operations were relatively small scale after these defeats. only the Imperium have the resources to fight repeat wars of attrition. A fleet of the Salamanders chapter and a regiment of Imperium guard are coming to this system and i hereby request to incorporate their forces to retake the planet
