Description

Late arrivals to the conflict: The ship carrying the Pripyus 71st COmbat Engineer Regiment was cut off from its liberation fleet during warp transit. In the midst of a brewing warp storm, the Gellar field of the great ship began to die. Rather than face the horrors of the warp, the Navigator brought the ship crashing out of the warp, offering up his life and the life of the astropaths aboard to buy the twenty thousand crew members and the Guard regiment time. Just their stroke of luck, they wound up in system of a planet that was barely habitable. Brigadier General Alphonse P. Trowongon, the CO of the Guard Regiment, elected to make planetfall, and try to find any Imperial forces. Due to imminent failure of life support systems, lots were cast amongst the crew. out of the twenty thousand crew, ten thousand were elected to accompany the regiment during the drop due to space constrictions in the Imperial landers. The rest of the crew was left to a slow fate aboard a crippled and dying ship in high orbit.

Invasion of Hive Sennacherib Prime:

Needing a base of Operations, General Trowongon sent out scout units, who quickly located a crumbling hive in the middle of a radioactive desert. Black smoke rising from the city indicated industry, but the city-state that had established themselves bore no Imperial sigils. Attack plans were made. seven thousand of the crew that had made landfall were given orders to march upon the city, armed with a single lasgun to every fifty men. Wielding primarily tools and knives, and followed closely by commissars and morale bolstering troopers (to shoot em if they tried to run), the men charged the city. They ran headlong directly into death traps and lanes of enemy fire. four thousand of the poorly equipped conscripts were cut down,, and showed no signs of breaking the city. Distracted by the endless tide of conscripts, the defenders of the renegade city were completely unaware of the attack from below. Using the underground networks of tunnels both man-made and natural, The three thousand Death World Guardsmen infiltrated the city, setting up explosives below enemy positions and crippling the enemy's war effort. When the attack was sprung, the enemy's resistance was crushed almost instantly. The Invasion was over in a single day, highlighted by the pillars of flame and debris shooting into the sky, and General Trowongon executing the renegade warlord personally and casting his body from the walls. The citizens of the city quickly welcomed Imperial Law back within their city, which was aptly renamed "Gloria Et Imperialis."
