It is
a dark time for the Imperial Forces on the isolated planet of HD85512B.
After
The initial loss of the major Imperial outposts, Renegade Space Marines have driven the Imperial Guard from their defences and pursued them across the
planet.
Evading
the dreaded Marines, a ragtag party of survivors led by an unlikely partnership
of Commissar-General Marwood and Primaris Azzopardi, have found refuge in the
rough mountainous terrain of the Iron Rangers at Cape Sierra.
Little
did they know that their prayers to the Holy Emperor for deliverance had been
heard as the damaged Frigate Heidelberg limped into Praetorian space with news of the
Marine attack.
Fearing that the isolated planet would become a staging base for
raids on the Praetorian transit routes to Bakka, Segmentum Command dispatched
the 5th Praetorian Battle Column with a modest Navel Patrol Fleet to
retake the system…
